Research direction

Reproduce the failures from https://docs.pyscript.net/latest/ and a linked tutorial such as tutorials/getting-started.html, then compare them with the working 2023.09.1 documentation. Investigate the documentation site's static-resource loading and URL routing; done means the latest documentation loads correctly, its static resources are accessible, and its links no longer return 404s.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you go to https://pyscript.net and click on documentation it'll redirect you to https://docs.pyscript.net/latest/ which renders badly because of the inaccessibility of static resources, if you then proceed to click on any of the links e.g. https://docs.pyscript.net/latest/tutorials/getting-started.html it'll show a 404 Not Found page.

At the same time if you go directly to https://docs.pyscript.net/ it'll redirect you to https://docs.pyscript.net/2023.09.1/ which works but appears to be a revamp of the docs and probably not as complete.
