Won't be fixed in dev. It works fine build + serve.

You're using dev mode not prod site. Dev mode is correct. In prod you need to handle this in your server.

without proper routing, /en/test/ means there should be a file /en/test/index.md and /en/test means there should be a file /en/test.md

With cleanUrls: true, it should work fine on prod as long as your backend serves correct file. The provided nginx configuration in docs might be wrong though. It was contributed by external contributors and may not handle this case. PRs are welcome to update it.

dev will match prod behavior in next release. Regarding nginx config, I'll try to update the docs, but I don't have much experience with that.
