+Gets 3.0 out the door by temp fixing Sphinx rebuild not copying CSS.
+
+IMPORTANT: ONLY LOCAL DEVELOPER MACHINES NEED THIS!
+
+## Who should use this?
+
+If `./make.py clean` seems like the only way to get `./make.py html` or
+`./make.py serve` to serve your modified CSS, then yes, it's for you.
+
+## How do I use this?
+
+1. `cd` to the repo root
+2. `touch .ENABLE_DEVMACHINE_SPHINX_STATIC_FIX`
+3. `./make.py html` with working CSS change updates copying
+
+## When should I be careful?
+
+Keep the following in mind:
+
+1. It is a temp fix which *seems* to work with both:
+
+   * `./make.py html`
+   * `./make.py serve`
+
+3. No real config options other on/off via file presence
+
+## What's Broken in Sphinx?
+
+1. Sphinx has a long-standing bug which fails to copy static files
+   https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1810
+
+2. The fix is slated for 8.2.0 and the fix PR merged on Jan 13, 2025:
+   https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/pull/13236
+
+3. No, Arcade 3.0 **will not wait** for the following:
+
+   1. Sphinx 3.2.0 to ship the fix for the problem
+   2. Themes to become compatible
+   3. Plugins to become compatible
+   4. Our customizations to be tested with all of the above
