GET: /docs/extensions/
Some render happens in blog section while I want to preview docs/extensions only. And the file opened for preview is the last document rendered and not the preview url.
I think this can be improved.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the shown quarto preview .\docs\extensions\ command and trace how preview preparation chooses the browser URL after rendering other files. Check the preview entry point and render/preview URL handling; done means the browser opens the requested /docs/extensions/ URL rather than the last rendered PDF.
