Findings / UX-011
Links without extensions in one article
OpenLowFailurenewsroom.sgit.ai
What we saw
future-of-news links to /thesis, /portugal and /economics/rails, unlike every other link on the site.
Why it matters
They depend on the host resolving extensionless paths; on a strict host or a mirror they break.
The fix
Use the full .html or trailing-slash form everywhere; check it at build.
