Combination with starlight-sidebar-topics causes issues

[mavam]

Describe the bug

I've co-deployed https://github.com/HiDeoo/starlight-sidebar-topics with this plugin and get an error when I build the site:

astro  v5.5.2 ready in 378 ms

┃ Local    http://localhost:4321/docs
┃ Network  use --host to expose

18:29:52 watching for file changes...
The collection "docs" does not exist or is empty. Please check your content config file for errors.

Then further down also:

18:29:59 [ERROR] [AstroUserError] The slug `"guides/quickstart"` specified in the Starlight sidebar config does not exist.
  Hint:
    Update the Starlight config to reference a valid entry slug in the docs content collection.

Thanks for the feedback 🙌

The first version has been definitely focused on laying the groundwork for the approach and not really on compatibility with the ecosystem but this is definitely planned and in my todo list 👍

I too was trying to combine these two plugins. I'm not sure if this is the same issue (if not and you want me to open a different one I can), in my case after installing the AutoSidebar and already having starlightSidebarTopics configured, my topics showed up, my sidebar group headings showed up, but none of the pages within them (which are autogenerated).

In my case I had to make sure that starlightAutoSidebar(), came before starlightSidebarTopics(sidebarConfig, sidebarOptions), in the order of starlight plugins array, since they are loaded in order. That resolved the immediate problems I encountered and all my pages show up again. I've yet to really explore the power of both combined, so I may find further issues later but for now that may help others.

In my case nothing changed at all, I tried adding a badge but nothing happened. Same with changing the title using label.
