Description

I'm not sure if it's me, but whenever I try and start the docs server it just hangs at random points.

Right now it's hanging at

[INFO] Starting the development server...

But earlier today is was hanging while updating the build.

Once it dies, the process seems irretrievable. I can't kill it. When I shut down my system (Linux Mint), the shutdown log tells me it's waiting for a node process to quit. Never seen that befoe.

It's only started doing this today.

I have a horrible feeling it's the FHIR4 docs (which are massive)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang when the docs development server reaches “Starting the development server...” or while updating the build, with attention to the large FHIR4 docs. Inspect the node process after the server becomes unresponsive and compare it with the shutdown behavior. Done means identifying the cause and documenting or verifying a reliable fix for the hanging process.
