The ReadTheDocs build was failing because Sphinx's html_static_path referenced a non-existent _static directory, triggering a warning that was treated as an error by the -W flag in CI.

Changes

  • Added docs/source/_static/ and docs/source/_templates/ directories with .gitkeep files to satisfy Sphinx configuration requirements
  • These directories are standard Sphinx conventions for custom static assets and templates, initially empty until custom styling or templates are added

Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • docs.python.org
    • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python3 /home/REDACTED/.local/bin/sphinx-build -b html source build/html (dns block)
    • Triggering command: /usr/bin/python3 /home/REDACTED/.local/bin/sphinx-build -b html source build/html -W --keep-going (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
