handbook

3.5.1

2026-09-30

  • Fixed the header search on the homepage and a few other pages (Working Together, Appendices, Glossary) returning no results: they had been published from a local build and searched localhost instead of the live search service.
  • The build now starts from an empty output folder and fails if any page still carries local-only output (a localhost search address, a “Local”/“Dev” site title, or the dev-server reload script).
  • The local dev server (nx run handbook:serve) now renders in memory, so it can no longer overwrite a production build.
