+// REGRESSION (#8385): docsNav drives both the persistent /docs/* left rail and DocsPrevNext's
+// prev/next footer links, but it was maintained entirely by hand alongside docs.index.tsx's own
+// curated card list. Six published, cross-linked pages (miner-quickstart, loopover-commands,
+// ai-summaries, owner-checklist, self-hosting-docs-audit, self-hosting-unified-ams-orb) had real
+// content/docs/*.mdx files and index-page links but no sidebar entry, so a visitor landing on one
+// saw an unhighlighted rail with no route to any other group, and no page's prev/next ever reached
+// them. This is the drift guard: content/docs/ is the source of truth for what's published, so a new
+// .mdx that forgets its docsNav entry fails here instead of silently shipping unreachable.
+//
+// Filesystem-reading in a vitest test follows docs-source-server-isolation.test.ts's precedent --
+// process.cwd() is apps/loopover-ui because this file is only matched by that workspace's own
+// vitest.config.ts (`include: ["src/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}"]`); the root config takes `test/**` only.
