Update from code changes: document static export URLs

[mintlify]

Summary

Document the .html URLs emitted by static export bundles so they work on hosts without extensionless rewrites.

Changes

• Explain root and page URL examples.
• Describe CloudFront navigation and plain file hosting.
• Note automatic configuration and extensionless canonical and sitemap URLs.
• Document .html destinations for built-in internal navigation, including version and language switchers, search results, cards, assistant citations, and API playground links.

Context

This documents the static export URL changes in mintlify/mint#9840 and the follow-up imperative navigation fix in mintlify/mint#9842.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes to static export overview pages; no application or API code.

Overview
Documents how static export bundles expose pages as explicit .html URLs (e.g. /guides/getting-started.html, /index.html) so self-hosters know what to expect when uploading to S3 or plain static hosting without extensionless rewrites.

Adds a Page URLs in static bundles section (with anchor page-urls-in-static-bundles in localized pages) to the English, Spanish, French, and Chinese api/static-export/overview pages. The new copy explains that the Static Export API turns this on automatically, contrasts CloudFront (client nav/prefetch preserved) with file-only hosts (full-page .html links), and notes that canonical/sitemap and optional client nav URLs can stay extensionless—with a caveat that file-only hosts may need rewrites.

The Chinese overview also extends the frontmatter description with S3/CDN/static hosting context.

The localized overviews now also explain that built-in internal navigation uses .html destinations and preserves query strings.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates to static export overview pages; no application or API code changes.

Overview
Adds a Page URLs in static bundles section to the English, Spanish, French, and Chinese api/static-export/overview pages, documenting behavior from recent static-export URL work in the main product.

The new copy explains that bundles expose explicit .html paths (e.g. /guides/getting-started.html, /index.html), that the Static Export API enables this without doc config changes, and how CloudFront (client nav/prefetch) differs from plain file hosts (full-page .html links). It also notes that built-in navigation—switchers, search, cards, assistant citations, API playground—targets .html URLs while preserving query strings, and that canonical/sitemap URLs can stay extensionless (with a file-host rewrite caveat).

Localized pages use anchor page-urls-in-static-bundles. The Chinese overview extends frontmatter description with S3/CDN/static hosting context.
