This adds AcceptMarkdown-compliant content negotiation for docs routes, including Fumadocs-based q-value negotiation, Vary: Accept, alternate/canonical Link headers, and 406 responses for unsupported media types.
It adds Markdown alternate URL helpers plus root and nested /llms.mdx/docs routes so /docs/, .md, .mdx, and canonical docs URLs all resolve to Markdown where appropriate.
It switches processed Markdown generation to Fumadocs placeholder rendering for common MDX components, making Markdown cleaner for agents while keeping HTML pages unchanged.
It adds tests for negotiation and rewrite behavior; local validation covered bun test, bun run build:cf, curl checks against local dev, and agent-browser checks.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches global request middleware and broad docs URL routing; behavior changes for clients using Accept headers or old llms-*.txt paths (aliases remain but discovery shifts).

Overview
Adds AcceptMarkdown-style docs serving: middleware negotiates Accept (including q-values and legacy text/plain / text/x-markdown), redirects canonical HTML URLs to .md when Markdown wins, returns 406 for unsupported explicit types on known doc paths, and attaches Vary: Accept plus Link: rel="alternate" for Markdown on HTML responses.

Introduces stable .md / .mdx routes (including SDK selector paths), shared markdown-route / markdown-alternate helpers, and HTML rel="alternate" links on doc pages. Processed Markdown for agents is improved via Fumadocs MDX placeholders (Callouts, Tabs, etc.), a markdownImageMap remark plugin, and absolute image URLs.

LLMS URLs move to section paths like /docs/ios/llms.txt (with legacy root aliases kept); Agents is added as an LLMS section. vibe-coding docs document .md suffixes and the new llms.txt link table.

P1 Badge Use a splat route for nested markdown alternates

When the alternate URL is for a nested doc such as /docs/ios/quickstart/install.md, this route will not handle it: the generated route tree for this file is /{$}.md, i.e. a single path segment with a .md suffix, while TanStack splats are the /$ segment captured in params._splat. Since shouldBypassLLMRewrite now skips all .md paths, those nested alternates fall through to the normal docs splat as ios/quickstart/install.md and 404 instead of returning the page markdown. Please make the .md/.mdx routes catch nested paths before the suffix, or stop bypassing the existing markdown rewrite for direct suffix URLs.

P2 Badge Run the image map after includes are expanded

For pages whose images come from <include>d shared MDX, this plugin runs before remarkInclude, so those included image nodes are not added to markdownImageMap even though they are present in the processed markdown later. For example, content/docs/ios/guides/advanced/observer-mode.mdx includes content/shared/observer-mode.mdx, which contains /images/om_transactions.png; that page's markdown alternate can be left with an unresolved __img... placeholder instead of the restored image URL. Move the map collection after include expansion or otherwise collect images from included content.

P2 Badge Preserve CORS on markdown negotiation redirects

When a browser on another origin fetches a canonical docs URL with Accept: text/markdown, this 307 is part of the CORS redirect chain but only includes Vary. The final markdown route sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, yet the browser can block before following it because the redirect response itself lacks that header. Add the same CORS header to the negotiation redirect so cross-origin consumers can use the advertised AcceptMarkdown URL, not just the direct .md URL.

P2 Badge Resolve placeholders for titled markdown images

When a markdown image includes a title, the processed placeholder can be emitted as ![alt](__img0 "title"), but this pattern only matches placeholders followed immediately by ), so those images are left as __img… in the .md alternate. Several existing docs use titled images, including content/docs/ios/quickstart/install.mdx, so those pages can expose unresolved placeholders instead of usable image URLs.

P2 Badge Capture JSX image sources in the markdown image map

For MDX <img> nodes this condition can never add an entry: with a real src, getImagePlaceholder() is undefined, and with a __imgN placeholder, getImageUrl() returns undefined. Pages such as content/docs/agents/create-an-agent.mdx use Frame-wrapped JSX images, so when the processed markdown contains <img src="__imgN">, restoreImagePlaceholders() has no URL for that placeholder and the .md alternate can expose unresolved image placeholders instead of usable image links. Collect the JSX image URLs under the placeholder index order rather than requiring both values on the same node.

P2 Badge Keep llms.txt links fetchable as markdown

With this negotiation gate, a normal curl -sL or LLM crawler following the bare page URLs emitted in llms.txt no longer gets the markdown redirect, because curl sends Accept: */* and the new negotiator defaults wildcards to HTML. That makes the generated llms summaries' page links return HTML unless callers know to add an Accept: text/markdown header, so either emit .md links in the summaries or update the advertised fetch path/header before relying on Accept negotiation here.
