Ahh, the auto_search_views setting was the key! I definitely overlooked it flipping between the guides
Thank you very much for explaining everything, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions!

Ok that makes sense.
I have that setup, and when I click the view link in the admin it goes to the expected url: siteroot/news/10
But I still get a 404. siteroot/news works, I can retrieve all the items perfectly.
I added some echo statements…
