Corrects the variables reference: an undefined or mismatched {{placeholder}} renders as literal text instead of failing the build, names are case-sensitive, and mint validate catches them. Also updates the configure settings mint-instructions topic, and trims the publish/repo topic back under its 8,000-byte limit, which it went over on main.

Based on a support conversation where a variable name mismatch left placeholders unreplaced on a live site.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only corrections with no code or configuration changes.

Overview
Updates documentation to match actual variables behavior after support feedback where mismatched names left {{placeholders}} visible on production.

organize/settings-structure.mdx and mint-instructions/configure/settings.mdx no longer say undefined or missing variables fail the build/deploy. They now state that names are case-sensitive, unmatched placeholders still publish as literal text, and mint validate is what flags undefined variables before release.

mint-instructions/publish/repo.mdx has minor GitLab provider copy edits (webhook test wording, OAuth scope note) and list formatting only—no behavioral doc change there.
