-## SPA fallback: use `Accept` header map, not `try_files ... /index.html`
-
-The naive nginx pattern for a path-prefix SPA (`try_files $uri $uri/
-/matrix/index.html`) silently swallows asset 404s — a missing JS file
-returns `index.html` with a 200, so the JS runtime never loads and the
-page renders blank with no visible error (#685; fixed in PR #684;
-#686 filed the follow-up edge-case, addressed in PR #729).
-Extension allowlists (tried in #686 → PR #729) have the same maintenance
-problem: any new file extension the SPA ships breaks silently.
-
-The correct pattern (landed in PR #729, `hive-gateway.nix`) keys the
-fallback on the HTTP `Accept` header:
-
-```nginx
-# Outside the server block (appendHttpConfig):
-map $http_accept $matrix_spa_target {
-  default          "/__matrix_spa_no_html_fallback";
-  "~*text/html"    "/matrix/index.html";
-}
-
-# Inside the location:
-try_files $uri $uri/ $matrix_spa_target =404;
-```
-
-Top-frame navigations always send `Accept: text/html,...` (chrome /
-firefox / safari are consistent). Asset fetches (`image/*`,
-`application/javascript`, `*/*`) don't carry `text/html`, so they
-fall through to the trailing `=404`. No extension list to maintain;
-no named-location indirection needed.
