<observations> Date: Jul 30, 2026 * 🟡 (16:46) `astro build` FAILED with `[GetStaticPathsRequired]` error at `src/pages/[...slug].md.ts:0:0` — dynamic route requires `export const getStaticPaths()`. Build errored after content sync + vite builds (814ms + 75ms). * 🟡 (16:46) After adding `getStaticPaths`, build SUCCEEDED but produced doubled-extension URLs like `/security.md.md`, `/security/index.md.md` — Astro `[...slug]` pattern was appending `.md` to the slug value. * 🟡 (16:46) Fix applied — corrected `getStaticPaths` so slug values don't include `.md` suffix. Build now produces correct URLs: `installation.md`, `installation/index.md`, etc. * 🟡 (16:47) Verified dist contents: 16 HTML files + matching `.md` files generated (apply.md, architecture.md, ci-integration.md, contributing.md, custom-fetch.md, discover.md, faq.md, getting-started.md, github-action.md, index.md, installation.md, progress.md, security.md, telemetry.md, wire-contract.md). Plus per-page directories with index.html + index.md. * 🟡 (16:47) Initial endpoint returned `# not found\n\nno source for installation` for all `.md` URLs — file resolution failing. * 🟡 (16:47) First attempt fix: used `import.meta.url` to resolve source path. Still failed with `# not found`. Debug logging showed slug param was `"installation"` for `/installation.md` and `"index"` for `/index.md`. * 🟡 (16:47) Investigation: `import.meta.url` in bundled output resolves to a different path than the source location during `astro build`. Source files exist at `src/content/docs/*.md` but the bundled module has a different URL. * 🟡 (16:47) Final fix: switched from `import.meta.url` to `process.cwd()` for path resolution — `process.cwd()` is the project root during build, giving stable access to `src/content/docs/`. Build succeeded, `.md` endpoints now return correct content. * 🟡 (16:48) Verified `installation.md` returns the raw markdown content of the Installation page (frontmatter + body), `index.md` returns the binpatch homepage markdown with frontmatter (title, description, template: splash, hero: tagline, actions). * 🟡 (16:48) Verified rendered HTML contains `<a href="installation.md" class="sl-flex print:hidden markdown-link astro-hgus5usv">` with SVG icon (pencil + file shape) and "View as Markdown" text. Link is RELATIVE — resolves correctly from any page. * 🟡 (16:48) Bug found: homepage link rendered as `href=".md"` (empty slug) — would resolve to `/.md` which doesn't work. Fix applied in MarkdownLink component to handle index case specifically. * 🟡 (16:48) After fix, homepage link correctly renders as `href="/index.md"`. From nested pages like `/installation/` it renders as `href="installation.md"` (relative). * 🟡 (16:48) Agent created then deleted a Starlight plugin file for `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` head injection — decided per-page head injection was more complex than needed, the visible "View as Markdown" button is sufficient for discoverability. * 🟡 (16:49) Read `.github/workflows/docs-preview.yml` (78 lines). Key details: (1) comment says "a merge's simultaneous `push: main` and `pull_request: closed` triggers never race and cancel each other" — kept separate from `pages.yml` (2) `concurrency.group: docs-preview-${{ github.ref }}`, `cancel-in-progress: true` (3) triggers: `workflow_dispatch` + `pull_request` with types `[opened, reopened, synchronize, closed]` (4) no paths-filter on pull_request itself —
