Description:
W're migrating our docs to Mintlify. When using tabs in docs.json navigation, adding href entries that point to pages owned by a different tab causes ALL tabs to lose their URL prefix resolution. The sidebar shows the wrong tab's content on every page.
Steps to reproduce:
Expected behaviour: href entries should be treated as sidebar links only — they should NOT participate in tab URL prefix calculation. This is how Fern handles link: vs page: entries.
Actual behaviour: href entries are included in tab prefix resolution, making it impossible for Mintlify to determine which tab owns which URL prefix. Removing the href entries fixes all tabs.
Workaround: Remove all cross-tab href entries. This means losing 5 sidebar convenience links that exist in our current production site.
Environment: Mintlify CLI 1.0.0, mint theme, 6 tabs
