I have an /about page and I'm using regular HTML a tags to redirect a user to an external site. However, upon navigating back to the I'm presented with a 404. This issues persists throughout all routes and until the process is restarted. Is this in any way just an issue in dev mode?

so interestingly enough, I cannot recreate it anymore. Even going back to my original project, the issue doesn't exist.

The only notable thing I can mention is that in the process of creating a new project it asked me to update pnpm, which I did, but it said it wasn't setup properly and after running the needed command the issue is gone?

Could you provide us more details? Screenshots, code of problematic page route or even reproduction (https://nextjs-faq.com/minimal-reproduction-repository) would help to solve this in a blink 😉

That's pretty possible you didn't had something installed yet from deps 😄
