| Unlike the [container web server](./container_web_server.md) URL, which changes with every run, the Standby URL stays the same for all runs of the Actor. You can share it publicly or hardcode it in applications that call the Actor: copy it from the **Standby** tab on the Actor's detail page rather than building it from the username and Actor name, because some Actors use a different hostname format. |

The Standby developer page was missing the Standby URL contract (stable across runs, unlike the per-run web server URL) and never pointed readers to authentication, scaling, the web server schema, or actor.json, all of which are documented elsewhere; the web server schema page had a single inbound link repo-wide. This adds the URL semantics to the env vars reference and the Standby page, and cross-links the Standby, container web server, Actor definition, and actor.json pages so each hands readers to the right reference.
