[QUESTION] Why does the app not work properly without build before start

Question

After weeks of struggling to find out why multi page setup does not work for me, I found out that it was because I switched the docker container command to use yarn start instead of yarn build-and-start.

I'm wondering why yarn needs to build to make some options work, shouldn't the options loaded from the yaml file work fine without needing to build?

Is there a way to improve that ?

I also suspect that this was introduced when we enabled the yaml file to be edited and saved from the browser.
