Description
Describe the bug
On any page of the LoopBack 4 website, links to any API Docs page are broken. Evidence of the last time this was working correctly is the last good capture by the The Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) was March 22, 2022: https://web.archive.org/web/20230322024014/https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/apidocs.index.html
Here is just one example:
On the LoopBack 4 Home Page select API DOCS from the main menu, then LoopBack 4 from the dropdown menu; this navigates to: https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/apidocs.index.html; but displays:
Page Not Found
[ Edit this page](https://github.com/strongloop/loopback.io/blob/gh-pages/pages/404.md)
Sorry, but the page you were trying to view does not exist.
This is similar to another this bug I reported which was never resolved: https://github.com/loopbackio/loopback-next/issues/8990

Research direction
Start from the LoopBack 4 Home Page API DOCS menu and compare its LoopBack 4 destination with the reported apidocs.index.html URL. Inspect the linked pages/404.md context and the documentation navigation that produces the broken link. Done means the API Docs menu reaches an existing API Docs page instead of Page Not Found.
