Adds a short note to the Markdown export page explaining that links to navigation pages in Markdown output now point to their .md versions.

Previously, an agent reading a .md page that followed an internal link landed on the HTML version; now it stays on Markdown. Links to pages outside the navigation, images, external URLs and code stay unchanged.

Based on a merged change to how Mintlify serves Markdown pages, which appends .md to internal page links in Markdown responses.

The author of that change has no Autopilot reviewer profile, so this is assigned to the docs owner.

Duplicate check: open docs PRs, open Autopilot PRs, and docs merges since Oct 15 searched for Markdown export and .md links; none cover this.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only update with no runtime or security impact.

Overview
Documents that Markdown export now rewrites internal navigation links to their .md URLs so agents following links stay in Markdown instead of landing on HTML.

The new note on the Markdown export page gives an example (/quickstart#install → /quickstart.md#install) and clarifies that links outside navigation, images, external URLs, and links inside code blocks are unchanged.
