Why it matters
Not every agent sends an Accept header. A .md URL is the simplest way to ask for the clean version.
How to pass
Serve each page's Markdown at the same path with .md appended, starting with /index.md.
Run it
Find markdown-url-fallback in the report. Add --md for a fix prompt you can paste into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.
