The Mintlify site lives in apps/docs. Mintlify’s monorepo documentation path must be configured as /apps/docs with no trailing slash.

Truth policy

  1. Pin repository, commit, and version once in apps/docs/docs.json.
  2. Verify examples against that exact source commit.
  3. Describe concrete classes as implemented only when they can be imported and exercised.
  4. Label proposals, rationale, and unimplemented flows as Design Notes.
  5. Do not substitute the unrelated PyPI project for a source checkout.

Local setup

Use Node 20.17 and pnpm 10.18, then install from the repository root:

Required checks

docs:structure enforces exact-case navigation paths and checks internal Markdown/MDX links, component href values, and image sources. docs:source-smoke checks out the pinned implementation and runs the code paths used by the examples.

Routes and redirects

  • Add every intended public page to docs.json navigation.
  • Use lowercase route paths.
  • When moving a published page, add a permanent redirect only when the destination is genuinely equivalent.
  • Do not redirect arbitrary typos or removed starter features to unrelated product pages.
  • Keep the custom 404 page non-redirecting so an unknown URL remains an honest 404.

Content review

Before merging:
  • search for stale class and method names;
  • remove numerical product claims unless they are reproducible measurements with context;
  • ensure every code block uses runnable core.* source-checkout imports;
  • confirm images have meaningful alternative text;
  • inspect rendered desktop and mobile navigation; and
  • fetch every rendered internal destination, because static Markdown checks can miss generated navigation failures.

Release verification

After deployment, run the production crawler and Playwright verification. Confirm canonical routes return 200, legacy redirects return 308 and terminate at 200, no linked asset or _rsc request returns 404, and /llms.txt lists only intended LangState pages. If cutover fails, restore the previous Mintlify project root and revert the promotion. A successful build is not production proof; record the live route and browser readback before declaring the docs recovered.
