Categories loaded via NavigationLoader have the wrong type

[bonokburn]

PHP Version: 8.3.8 | Shopware Version: 6.6.6.0 | Affected area / extension: Platform(Default)

---

Expected behaviour:

Categories that have the standard category template assigned in the layout should normally have the type ‘product_listing’.

Actual behaviour:

However, all categories are declared as ‘page’. This leads to errors in customised menus that should adapt to the page type.

How to reproduce:

Load category tree over NavigationLoader.
