Walkthrough

This PR consolidates application documentation by expanding about-applications.mdx with complete app type guidance, Device/IoT flow details, and management instructions, while removing the separate add-and-manage-applications page. Device authorization polling is corrected to 10 minutes. Configuration and cross-document links are updated to point to the new consolidated guide.

Changes

Device flow timing and documentation consolidation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Device authorization flow timing updates src/content/docs/authenticate/device-authorization-flow/overview.mdx, src/content/docs/authenticate/device-authorization-flow/troubleshooting.mdx	Device code expiration documented as typically 10 minutes instead of 30 minutes in polling guidance and error troubleshooting.
URL redirect configuration astro.config.mjs	Astro config adds redirect mapping from /build/applications/add-and-manage-applications/ to /build/applications/about-applications/.
Application documentation expansion and consolidation src/content/docs/build/applications/about-applications.mdx, src/content/docs/build/applications/add-and-manage-applications.mdx	About-applications.mdx frontmatter updated and body expanded with application type overview (Back-end, Front-end, M2M, Device/IoT), Device/IoT section documenting RFC 8628 Device Authorization Grant with polling behavior, new "Manage applications" walkthrough covering add/configure/delete steps, expanded FAQs, and Resources section. Add-and-manage-applications.mdx content fully removed.
Cross-document link migrations src/content/docs/authenticate/manage-authentication/manage-authentication-applications.mdx, src/content/docs/developer-tools/guides/deploy-on-vercel.mdx, src/content/docs/developer-tools/sdks/backend/remix-sdk.mdx, src/content/docs/get-started/guides/byo-code.mdx, src/content/docs/get-started/guides/start-with-starter-kit.mdx, src/content/docs/get-started/switch-to-kinde/auth0-to-kinde.mdx, src/content/docs/integrate/third-party-tools/cloudflare-zero-trust.mdx	Links across guides, SDKs, and comparative docs updated to redirect users from the removed add-and-manage-applications page to the expanded about-applications page.

Poem

🐰 A consolidation tale, so fair and bright,
Application docs merged into unified light,
Device flows timed true, ten minutes elapsed,
Old paths redirected, fresh guidance clasped,
One guide now holds what two once knew! 📚✨

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1

❌ Failed checks (1 inconclusive)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'update: Applications in Kinde' is vague and overly generic; it uses non-descriptive language that doesn't convey the specific nature of the changes (merging docs, adding Device/IoT type, adding management steps/FAQs, or restructuring content).	Consider a more specific title that highlights the main change, such as 'Merge application pages and add Device/IoT documentation' or 'Consolidate application guides and add missing app types'.

Thanks for this — the merge of the two application pages and the new Device & IoT section are solid improvements. A few things to address before merge:

Must fix

1. Stale relatedArticles metadata

about-applications.mdx still references the deleted page's page_id (6c70b7ae-1b1b-43bb-bea1-9b3ec88dd082). That ID is also referenced on other pages (callback-urls, getting-app-keys, rotate-client-secret, link-to-homepage, etc.). Can we remove or replace it so related articles don't point at a removed doc?

2. expires_in timing

The Device & IoT section says to stop polling after expires_in "(typically 30 minutes)", but the device authorization overview example shows "expires_in": 600 (10 minutes). Can we confirm the actual default and align both docs?

3. astro.config.mjs formatting noise

The diff reformats a large number of existing redirects (quote style, single-line vs multi-line). Could we revert the formatting-only changes and keep just the new redirect?

"/build/applications/add-and-manage-applications/": "/build/applications/about-applications/",

That would make this much easier to review and reduce merge conflict risk.

4. Internal links still point to the old URL

These 7 pages still link to /build/applications/add-and-manage-applications/ (redirect works, but canonical links would be better):

• get-started/guides/byo-code.mdx
• get-started/guides/start-with-starter-kit.mdx
• get-started/switch-to-kinde/auth0-to-kinde.mdx
• authenticate/manage-authentication/manage-authentication-applications.mdx
• integrate/third-party-tools/cloudflare-zero-trust.mdx
• developer-tools/sdks/backend/remix-sdk.mdx
• developer-tools/guides/deploy-on-vercel.mdx (uses absolute URL)

5. Stale frontmatter description

description still only mentions backend, frontend, and M2M, while ai_summary and keywords were updated. Worth aligning for SEO/snippets.

6. Missing app_context

The deleted page had app_context: settings > applications. If in-app doc linking depends on that, consider adding it to the merged page.

Nits

• Missing trailing newline at EOF in about-applications.mdx

---

Overall direction looks good — happy to approve once the metadata and config noise are cleaned up.
