Current Behavior

Current router redirects in Nuxt config:

router: {
    trailingSlash: false,
    extendRoutes(routes, resolve) {
      routes.push(
        {
          path: '/',
          redirect: '/guides/overview/why-cypress',
        },
        {
          path: '/guides',
          redirect: '/guides/overview/why-cypress',
        },
        {
          path: '/plugins',
          redirect: '/plugins/directory',
        },
        {
          path: '/guides/dashboard/dashboard-introduction',
          redirect: '/guides/dashboard/introduction',
        }
      )
    },
  },

• Redirects for /, /guides, /plugins work.
• Redirect for /guides/dashboard/dashboard-introduction does not work.

The issue persists for redirects added in https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-documentation/pull/3610/commits/559dd988985ec67f60353a2ca30934b63e3b471a as well.

@matthamil I don't want this to be a blocker for launch, so if we don't resolve it by release time we can temporarily rely on Cloudflare page rules to handle the redirects.

I tried fixing this by building a custom redirector via a router middleware, but it seems the router middleware get removed when doing nuxt generate....which makes sense.
