Conversation
Extend patches/vocs.patch (Vocs stays at 2.3.2): - llms.txt: description as a blockquote, one H2 per sidebar section, and every entry links the page's Markdown twin with an absolute URL. The old first link (/docs/index) 404'd. - llms-full.txt: each page is preceded by a --- separator and a Source: https://splits.org/docs/<path>/ line; in-page links are absolute. - .md twins and llms-full.txt: a text-pipeline counterpart of remarkSubheading turns "# Title [subtitle]" into a heading plus a paragraph instead of leaking "\[subtitle]" into every H1.
…e nav The og image URL lacked the trailing slash splits.org canonicalizes to, so every social scrape paid a 308 first. The top nav now links Pricing and Treasury, and Changelog gets its trailing slash for the same reason.

changed the title
Section index pages resolve to paths ending in a slash, which produced links like /docs/accounts/.md in llms.txt. The twin is written as accounts.md, so strip the slash before appending the extension.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
not really introduced by this pr, but these links are weird to me. this is site is supposed to be part of splits.org, so feels weird that we "link" to it.
Maybe should just say "Home" instead of "splits.org"?
Also, the link to the pricing feels odd to me.

Summary
/docs/index) 404'd.---separator and aSource: https://splits.org/docs/<path>/line before each page, and all in-page links are absolute..mdtwin (what AI crawlers receive via content negotiation) no longer has a garbled H1:# Title [subtitle]becomes a heading plus a paragraph instead of# Title \[subtitle].Why this matters
For AI assistants (AEO). When ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and similar tools look at our docs, they don't read the web pages. They read
llms.txt,llms-full.txt, and the Markdown copy of each page. Today the very first link inllms.txtis broken, every page title they see starts with a stray\[, the links can't be followed from outside the site, and there's no way to tell which page a paragraph came from. After this PR they get a clean, standard-format index, correct titles, links that work anywhere, and a source URL on every page. That makes it more likely an assistant quotes our docs correctly and links back to the right page when someone asks how Splits works.For Google (SEO). Eight pages had descriptions too long for Google to show in full, so the search snippet was cut off mid-sentence. They now fit. The docs also never linked to our product pages, so none of the docs' authority flowed to them; the nav now links Treasury. And the image used for social previews went through a redirect on every share, which some platforms handle badly. It now loads directly.
