Markdown figures that use root-absolute paths like
/static/figures/foo.pngload on localhost and 404 on Tailscale Serve.Failure mode. The review server serves both
/and/steer(and/static/after path normalize). Direct previewhttp://127.0.0.1:8766/...therefore finds/static/figures/.... Tailscale Serve is configured as--set-path=/steeronly — Composer’s/proxy was removed — so the browser askshttps://<magicdns>/static/figures/...and the node has nothing there. The file is on disk under the desk’sstatic/figures; the URL is just unproxied.Fix.
renderArticlerewrites renderedsrc/hrefthat start with/static/to/steer/static/(deskBASE_PATH). Markdown source can still use/static/figures/...so Composer handoffs keep working on Tailscale. Cache-bust query bumped to?v=17(live desk was atv=16).No Save / Ready / webhook changes. No MagicDNS hostname.
