Summary

  • On authenticated sites a custom llms.txt / llms-full.txt is served publicly only when every page it links to is public (mintlify/server#7754); document that under "Custom files" and in the authentication feature table.

Test plan

  • Preview ai/llmstxt and deploy/authentication-setup and check the note and table cells render

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only change with no runtime or security behavior changes.

Overview
Adds a Note under Custom files in ai/llmstxt.mdx clarifying how custom llms.txt and llms-full.txt behave when the site uses authentication.

Custom files respect auth: if they link to any non-public page, only signed-in users get the custom file. Anonymous visitors still receive the auto-generated llms.txt or llms-full.txt, which only list publicly available links.
