Research direction
Start by running make serve_docs, then make one documentation change and observe whether the Sphinx autobuild process repeats indefinitely. Inspect the serve_docs entry point and the autobuild configuration mentioned by the issue; done means one change triggers a normal rebuild and the process stops rebuilding when no further changes are made.
