What's Wrong?

RSS feed content:encoded links missing /docs prefix, redirect away from the article

Labels: bug, docs

Summary

The "What's new" RSS feed at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/rss.xml embeds relative links inside each item's <content:encoded> body. RSS readers resolve those against the origin (https://code.claude.com), which strips the /docs prefix and redirects readers away from the actual digest to the Claude Code marketing page.

Feed URL

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/rss.xml

What Should Happen?

Expected

Anchors inside <content:encoded> should be absolute URLs (or at least prefixed with the docs basePath) so they resolve correctly when the HTML is rendered outside the /docs routing context.

Actual

The generator (Mintlify) emits docs-relative paths without the /docs prefix. They work on-page but break in the RSS feed.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

1. Subscribe to the feed in any RSS reader (NetNewsWire, Feedly, Reeder, etc.).
2. Open the most recent item ("Week 15").
3. Click the "Read the Week 15 digest →" link in the body.
4. Observe the redirect to https://www.claude.com/product/claude-code instead of the digest.

Example

Inside <content:encoded> for the Week 15 item:

<a href="/en/whats-new/2026-w15">Read the Week 15 digest →</a>

• Reader resolves to: https://code.claude.com/en/whats-new/2026-w15 → 302 → https://www.claude.com/product/claude-code ❌
• Correct URL: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w15 → 200 OK ✅

Every weekly item in the feed (Week 13, Week 14, Week 15, …) has the same pattern.

Note

The per-item <link> elements (e.g. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new#week-15) resolve correctly — this bug is only in the links inside the body content.
