Exclude all static sidebar paths.

The static sidebar already defines /search and /settings. This set omits search and settings, so enabled route extensions for either path render duplicate navigation entries.

Proposed fix 
 const STATIC_SIDEBAR_PATHS = new Set([
   '',
   'api-docs',
   'catalog',
   'cost-insights',
   'create',
   'docs',
   'platform-overview',
+  'search',
+  'settings',
 ]);
