Description
Problem
Hi Team,
I am trying to find the right tool to develop a sort of complex textbook.
I tried to make a Summary.md file within a nested folder structure, and now the book is "frozen" in time with that attempt, and no matter how I change it or stop or restart, it remains frozen here:
Steps
Make a normal mdBook with one Summary.md file, appropriately outlined.
Create a folder and make some chapters or sections in that folder. Create a Summary.md file there too.
See what happens...

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using a normal mdBook with a root Summary.md, then add chapters and a second Summary.md in a nested folder. Start by tracing how mdBook discovers and processes Summary.md files; done means the book no longer remains frozen after the nested summary is added and subsequent changes or restarts take effect.
