Summary

Reviewed the 19 English MDX pages changed in the last day, evaluated each for reader-facing gaps, and fixed the five highest-cost issues. All fixes were verified against the server and mint codebases or the page's own linked sources. A follow-up best-practices pass mirrored every change into the Spanish, French, and Chinese translations.

Changes

  • poc-onboarding.mdx
    • Gap: claimed authentication requires a custom domain or *.mintlify.app subdomain, contradicting /deploy/authentication-setup (auth works on .mintlify.site, verified in server auth code). This wrong prerequisite could push evaluators into 1–2 hours of unnecessary DNS work.
    • Fix: corrected the domain claim and linked /deploy/authentication-setup from the domain note, the participants table, and the timeline.
  • ai/mintlify-mcp.mdx
    • Gap: the page promised "change settings, create workflows, and more" but never documented the code-mode tools, and claimed "all changes happen on a branch and require a pull request," which is wrong for deployment management writes (they apply immediately to the live deployment, per the server's admin MCP tool definitions).
    • Fix: scoped the branch/PR guarantee to content edits, added a "Deployment management" tool section covering search_code_operations and execute_code, and added a warning that code-mode writes apply immediately with no PR safety net.
  • deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx
    • Gap: the Overview said CachingEnabled (not an AWS managed policy) while the behavior steps correctly say CachingOptimized; and the guide never mentioned adding the domain as an Alternate domain name (CNAME) with an ACM certificate, a prerequisite listed in the AWS guide the page links, without which the final Route 53 step fails.
    • Fix: unified on CachingOptimized and added the alternate domain name + ACM certificate prerequisite before the Route 53 steps.
  • editor/pages.mdx
    • Gap: no documented way to delete a page, leaving the page lifecycle incomplete (feature verified in the editor UI code: Move to trash / Delete page / Remove from publishing).
    • Fix: added a "Delete a page" section covering workspace pages, undo, publish-time commit, unlisting, and private-page deletion.
  • cli/commands.mdx
    • Gap: the command reference never says how to get the mint binary.
    • Fix: added a one-line pointer to /cli/install at the top.

Translations

  • Mirrored all five diffs into the es/, fr/, and zh/ counterparts (15 files), following repo conventions: <div id> English-slug heading anchors, language-prefixed internal links, English UI labels preserved.
  • Removed a now-redundant trailing "See Authentication setup" sentence in the translated poc-onboarding files, since the link is now inline, matching the English.
  • Replaced pre-existing &quot; HTML entities with real quotes in es/deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx.
  • No docs.json structural changes in this PR, so es.json/fr.json/zh.json needed no updates. SEO, typo, and style checks on the five English files found nothing to fix; mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.

Gaps deliberately left unfixed

  • deploy/ghes.mdx: supported GHES versions are not stated, but no version constraint is verifiable in the repos. Needs input from the team rather than an invented range.
  • deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx: the "Check that you set up behaviors correctly" screenshot shows 4 behaviors but the text now requires 6. Needs a regenerated screenshot.
  • integrations/analytics/google-tag-manager.mdx: no "find your tag ID" section; the GTM UI location isn't verifiable from the repos, so nothing was invented.

Also worth reviewing (low severity, not touched)

  • integrations/analytics/clarity.mdx: could link verification guidance from the analytics overview.
  • ai/skillmd.mdx: could state that custom skill files go live with the normal deploy rather than the 24-hour regeneration cycle (verifiable in server deploy code).
  • ai/llmstxt.mdx: typo "ins't" in the final note.

Pages evaluated with no gaps: deploy/preview-deployments.mdx, api/preview/trigger.mdx, help-center/preview-deployment-not-created-for-fork-branch.mdx, deploy/deployments.mdx, analytics/user-engagements.mdx, editor/index.mdx, quickstart.mdx, guides/git-concepts.mdx, changelog.mdx, ai/skillmd.mdx (low only).


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates across English and localized MDX; no application or infrastructure code changes.

Overview
This PR closes documentation gaps found in recently changed pages and mirrors the same fixes in es, fr, and zh locales.

Admin MCP (ai/mintlify-mcp.mdx): The docs no longer claim that all MCP changes go through a branch and PR. Content edits are scoped to branch + save; a new Deployment management section documents code-mode tools search_code_operations and execute_code, with a warning that those writes hit the live deployment immediately.

POC onboarding (poc-onboarding.mdx): Corrects mistaken auth domain requirements (.mintlify.site is supported, not only custom domain / *.mintlify.app) and adds links to authentication setup in the participants table, domain note, and week-1 timeline.

Route 53 + CloudFront (deploy/route53-cloudfront.mdx): Overview cache policy text now matches the steps (CachingOptimized instead of CachingEnabled), and Route 53 steps are preceded by adding the domain as a CloudFront alternate name with an ACM certificate.

Editor (editor/pages.mdx): Adds Delete a page (Move to trash, undo, publish commit, Remove from publishing, private-page behavior).

CLI (cli/commands.mdx): Adds a one-line pointer to CLI install at the top of the command reference.
