Default staging deployment environment to "development" docs instead of "stable"

[jenna-winkler]

Description

The mintlify staging deployment environment currently defaults to showing "stable" (production) docs, but it would be more useful for PR reviews if it defaulted to "development" docs instead.

Question

Is this configurable?

[dosubot]

This isn't configurable via environment variables or deployment scripts. Mintlify uses the order of the versions array in docs/docs.json to decide which docs version is shown by default—the first one listed is the default for all deployments, including staging. To make "development" the default, move it to the top of the versions array in docs/docs.json. Note that this will also make "development" the default in production, since Mintlify doesn't support separate defaults for staging vs. production deployments. This is a known limitation of Mintlify's versioning system, which uses URL prefixing for docs versions and doesn't allow per-environment defaults [source] [source].
