Steps to reproduce the bug

Hey, thanks for all your work - I'm new to typedoc but it's immensely helpful. I have a pretty simple repo with a README and a single module. Essentially, in the screenshot below I am viewing the README (index) page, but the nav has the current class on the modules page instead.

I think it would be better if the current class were not present in the nav in this case. Navigating to the modules page now shows different content, but the nav's current page indicator has not changed, which is confusing.

{
  "$schema": "https://typedoc.org/schema.json",
  "entryPoints": ["./src/index.ts"],
  "plugin": ["typedoc-plugin-merge-modules"],
  "defaultCategory": "General",
  "categoryOrder": ["General", "*"],
  "disableSources": true,
  "sort": ["kind", "source-order"],
  "visibilityFilters": {},
  "headings": {
      "readme": false,
      "document": true,
  },
}

I did try disabling typedoc-plugin-merge-modules (using 6.1.0) without change.

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.27.3
• TypeScript version: 5.7.2
