Reviewed customer feedback from the last month (Linear CUS tickets, Slack, Notion product feedback). Most items were code/product bugs already tracked for engineering. The three issues below were genuine documentation gaps where users were misled by missing scope/limitation notes.

Changes

  • organize/settings-reference.mdx — Note that {{variable}} substitution applies to MDX/snippets only, not OpenAPI spec files. (CUS-1618)
  • cli/commands.mdx — Clarify that mint broken-links scans .mdx/.md only, not OpenAPI YAML/JSON. (CUS-1619)
  • deploy/gitlab.mdx — Note that push-based automation workflows currently only trigger on MR merges, not direct pushes to the default branch on GitLab. (CUS-1582)

Considered but not included

  • CUS-1640 (keywords frontmatter not emitting <meta name="keywords">) — product bug being fixed; docs match intended behavior.
  • CUS-1608 ("Open in Cursor/Claude" broken .md URL on index pages) — URL-generation bug, not a docs gap.
  • CUS-1633 / CUS-1639 / CUS-1641 — feature requests, no docs change needed yet.

Validation

  • mint broken-links → no broken links.
  • mint validate reports a preexisting docs.json error unrelated to this PR (download-spec enum + custom-option type), present on main.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only clarifications with no product or security behavior changes.

Overview
Adds three scope/limitation notes so docs match actual product behavior after customer feedback.

The variables section in settings-reference.mdx now states that {{variableName}} substitution runs on MDX pages and snippets only—not on OpenAPI specs (.yaml, .yml, .json) or other static assets.

The mint broken-links docs in commands.mdx now say the command scans .mdx and .md for links (still respecting .mintignore) and does not validate links inside OpenAPI specification files.

The GitLab webhook guide in gitlab.mdx adds a note that push-triggered automation workflows on the deployment branch currently fire on merge request merges, not on direct pushes to that branch on GitLab.
