Mintlify rejects `groups` values that it can't evaluate safely:

- `includes` can't be empty. Omit `includes` to allow every group.
- `includes` can't be empty. Omit `includes` to allow every group, or set `groups: []` to deny access to everyone.
- `excludes` can't contain the `*` wildcard.
- Group names can't be empty strings.
- Rules can only contain `includes` and `excludes`.
- A single `groups` list can't mix group names and rule objects.

If any page has an invalid `groups` value, Mintlify fails the deployment and doesn't update your site. The deployment error lists each affected page path.
