Browsers never load that file when you visit a page, so nothing looked broken. Every build was green. The file was in the repository. And the URL was dead.</p> <p>If you want the ending first: <strong>declaring any entry under <code>module.mounts</code> for a target root replaces Hugo&rsquo;s default mount for that root.</strong> I had mounted one subfolder of <code>static</code>, and in doing so had silently unmounted everything else in it.</p>
