With STATIC_BUILD set, the Astro config attaches no adapter, so a static build emits plain files and no serverless function. The three preview routes, which only make sense with a server, are prerendered with no paths in static mode by a small integration. Nothing changes when STATIC_BUILD is unset.

An Astro adapter is the piece that aims a build at a particular host and produces its serverless function. With
STATIC_BUILD=truethe Astro config attaches no adapter, so a static build emits plain files that any host can serve, and emits no serverless function. Nothing changes when the flag is unset.Three routes only make sense with a server: the pages, posts and paths preview routes, and the TinaCMS island endpoint. In static mode a small integration builds them with no paths, so they add nothing to the output and the build needs no adapter. It marks each route to be built ahead of time in Astro's route-setup hook, and gives it an empty
getStaticPathsas the file loads.This layer alone is not enough for a static build to finish. The build then stops on the server islands, the parts of a page a server normally renders after the page loads. #805 handles those, and together the two build marronage from
developas 167 static pages, with no serverless function and no server-island requests.Part of #710. This is the first of three pull requests that bring the static-build experiment into develop, with #805 and #807 built on top of it.
