Details

I added the following lines to the rspress.config.ts :

route: {
    exclude: ["assets/**/*", "**/4-ignore.*"],
  },

expecting all assets in /docs and the 4-ignore.md not to have routes created for them and not appear in sidebars.

The routes are indeed not created but they still appear in the sidebar:

I don't really know if this is a bug but I would say that no-config sidebars should not display non-existing pages.
