404 Error Accessing /keystatic Route After Enabling Astro's Built-in i18n Feature

The problem

Hello, I'm currently working on a project using Astro and integrating keystatic for content management. Initially, everything worked fine, and I was able to access the keystatic admin panel through the /keystatic route without any issues.

However, after enabling Astro's built-in internationalization (i18n) feature, which required changing my routing to include a top-level directory for each locale (e.g., [locale].astro), I've encountered a problem. Now, when I try to access the /keystatic route, I receive a 404 Page Not Found error.

My pages directory looks like this:

/pages
   |_ [locale].astro
        |_ index.astro
   |_ index.astro

Basicaly the top level index.astro is there because it needs to exist in there and has no content inside.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set up a basic Astro project with keystatic integration.
2. Enable Astro's i18n feature.
3. Create a top level route for the locales (e.g. [locale].astro) and create a page using your locales and the getStaticPaths method.
4. Attemp to access any of /keystatic, /en/keystatic or /keystatic/en/ routes.

Expected Behavior:

Access to the /keystatic route should remain unaffected by the addition of locale-specific routing, allowing me to manage my content as before.

Actual Behavior:

After enabling i18n and creating a [locale].astro top level route, accessing the /keystatic route results in a 404 Page Not Found error.

Question:

Is there a known workaround or configuration change that needs to be applied to maintain access to the /keystatic route while utilizing Astro's i18n feature and this structure for the routing? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

• using the prefixDefaultLocale: false astro i18n routing strategy should work
• when using prefixDefaultLocale: true, there are currently a couple of issues. in the upcoming astro 4.6 it should be able to work around these with a "manual" i18n routing strategy - see the pr for this

Yeah I did this and I had to change the /[locale] directory to /[...locale] because single routes can't have undefined as value. I don't know if this is the right way.
