Smart Validation for Segment in Commerce Pages

In commerce-related page types (Augmented Category, Augmented Product and Augmented Page) the segment is typically not used, at least when it is a commerce-led scenario. In such a case the segment is not used to build an URL (but it is a Storefront URL). Therefore, the segment does not need to be validated. Only in a hybrid scenario (when the settings "livecontext.policy.commerce-category-links", "livecontext.policy.commerce-product-links" or "livecontext.policy.commerce-page-links" are "true") the validation is done for these page types.
