Is there an option to disable automatic file creation from `SUMMARY.md`? #2413

Question

When mdbook serve or mdbook watch, mdbook will automatically create files that do not exist in dirs. It is convenient but sometimes may cause mistakes. For example, sometimes I type the wrong filename and save the SUMMARY.md, but mdbook helps me create the file, and I have to delete the file manually.

Is there an option to disable automatic file creation from SUMMARY.md? Like mdbook serve --no-create-file (the name --no-create-file may not be the best). And the mdbook compiler will not create files but raise warnings in the command line.

Version

mdbook v0.4.40

Set build.create-missing=false, see build options.
