If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

If I have a route like this:

/categories/[category]/
+-- index.astro
+-- [page].astro

In which each endpoint exports getStaticPaths, one for matching the base route with the category param, another for the category param with pagination.

If I include the following in astro.config.mjs:

// ...
redirects: {
  '/categories/[category]': '/category/[category]/1',
},
// ...

Running astro build yields this error:

[ERROR] [build] Failed to call getStaticPaths for /categories/[category]
[GetStaticPathsRequired] `getStaticPaths()` function is required for dynamic routes. Make sure that you `export` a `getStaticPaths` function from your dynamic route.

What's the expected result?

I would expect this setup to build without errors. It's my understanding that configured redirects are supported in static render mode, and even if this isn't the case, the error doesn't make sense and took far too long to for me to track down the source of the problem.
