site_url pointed at an unused domain with no path, so mkdocs emitted root-absolute asset links on 404.html/sitemap.xml. Those 404 under Read the Docs' /en/latest/ prefix, leaving the 404 page unstyled. Use mkdocs's built-in !ENV tag to pick up READTHEDOCS_CANONICAL_URL at build time, falling back to a static default for local builds.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM
Since there is no attached issue and Definition of Done here, could you take the opportunity to replace diracx.io everywhere?
I still see 2 occurrences of it in the documentation.
Thanks! 🙂

site_urlpointed at an unused domain with no path, so mkdocs generated root-absolute asset links for version-less pages like 404.html. Read the Docs serves this project under a /en/latest/ prefix, so those requests 404 and the 404 page renders unstyled.Fixed via mkdocs's built-in !ENV tag, which picks up Read the Docs' READTHEDOCS_CANONICAL_URL at build time and falls back to a static default locally. No new dependency needed.
