This page is a draft outline and is not indexed yet. Monitoring for Fern sites already works.
Fern docs monitoring
Draft. This outline will be expanded with verified, platform-specific detail.
How Fern sites typically break
- Navigation declared in
docs.yml; pages removed from navigation become orphans. TODO(verify): config file name - API reference pages generated from OpenAPI or Fern definitions move when operations are renamed.
- Heading ids generated from heading text.
What Fern catches, and what it misses
- Validation of the docs configuration on generate. TODO(verify): link checking
- Misses external links, anchors from other sites, sitemap drift and orphans.
Setting up redirects on Fern
redirectsentries in the docs configuration. TODO(verify): syntax
How PathIntact monitors a Fern site
- Detection via
fern-class names and asset hosts TODO(verify); static reading with rendering fallback.
