A fresh clone or `myst # start` has not built them yet -- `static: true` turns that from an # unsuppressible error into the `static-action-file-copied` warning that # error_rules below softens, so local dev stays quiet. downloads: - file: exports/modernClassicalMechanics.pdf title: Download the book (PDF) static: true - file: exports/modernClassicalMechanics.docx title: Download the book (Word) static: true error_rules: - id: static-action-file-copied severity: warn # Remote hosts often answer 403, 404, or 5xx to the CI checker even when the # page is fine in a browser.
