 Caddy edition map must list each `editions/<slug>` explicitly. A map output of `{http.request.cookie.tdpd_edition}` did not expand on Caddy v2.11.4 (only `flask` worked → 404 for `main`/views). After new tips appear, refresh the snippet map (or regenerate from `ls editions`) before `apply-dossiers-ngi-edition-switch` + `caddy-apply`.
