I think I found a bug with Builder’s page functionality, when creating a new Page on the standard pages model, with a Blank template.

Steps:

1. Set up the Page model to support editing on our own site
2. Create a new Page on the Page model
3. Select Blank rather than an HTML template
4. Get redirected to the page editor

Expect:

1. To see the page editor load fine

Get:

1. The page editor breaks

Observations:

1. The new page record does not have any `html` key in the response from the API, when set up with a new template
2. This then leads to us having no content from Builder to render to the page
3. The editor then hangs, I guess it’s expecting other content on the page

Even if I allow the site to deal with the Builder response not having an HTML tag, and render the page just empty, the editor still breaks

it hangs like this:

And then shows the “we are having problems” modal

I don’t see any way to disable in-site editing either, to temporarily disable it and add some HTML to the empty page

I was able to work around this by reverting to the `builder.live` subdomain on the space, and then add a box in the page, and then put my site back in for the preview.

Definitely seems like a bug when setting up a new record
