TestDocsRelativeLinks walked only docs/developer; widening it to all of
docs/ immediately surfaced the same class of rot the gate was built
for, outside its old reach:
- docs/index.md was the old monolith's landing page: linked the deleted
api-reference.md, 10 directory-style area links, and escaped the docs
tree to README/AGENTS/.env/compose. Rewritten as a portal whose every
link resolves, with one representative endpoint doc per API area and
pointers to the new writing-ui-docs.md standard.
- directory-style links in user stubs (devices/, ../operations/)
- case-mismatched links (Development.md) in contributing.md
- monolith-era pointer (API_REFERENCE.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md) and
escaped AGENTS.md links in contributing/development.md
- docs/development/calibre-opf-implementation.md double-up escapes, a
link to the removed repo-root plan file (absorbed here), and a
source-code hyperlink the docs site can't serve (now inline code)
- operations/operations.md linked three never-written guide pages as
aspirational links - they stay plain text until pages exist
HANDS-OFF (project owner, 2026-11-02): docs/user/filters/** and
docs/user/searching-and-filtering.md are exempt as link sources so no
future checker failure can force edits to the filter documentation.
Files linking INTO them remain checked.
PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md had drifted out of reality (podman-only rule
while the stack runs docker; verifier scripts wired to Makefile targets
nobody runs). Trashed it, its two verifier scripts, and the Makefile
targets; the rules that still matched reality (docker runtime, schema
in place until release, server binary only via Docker, services layer,
integration-test pool rules) are absorbed into the new AGENTS.md.
The library-visibility family-lens rule now has a real home:
- AGENTS.md: the standing rule agents auto-discover (new media
endpoints MUST thread the visible-library set; 403, never silently
pass; history of the 2026-10-13 leak).
- docs/developer/library-visibility.md: the full explanation (helpers,
SQL pattern, per-item content gates, series per-library), linked
from the developer docs index.
Stale doc links updated (docs index, contributing, development).
- Renamed root INDEX.md to index.md (lowercase)
- Changed navigation title from "Documentation Index" to "Index"
- Removed caps lock for cleaner appearance
- Renamed subdirectory INDEX.md files to section-specific names:
- user/INDEX.md → user/user-guide.md
- developer/INDEX.md → developer/development.md
- operations/INDEX.md → operations/operations.md
- contributing/INDEX.md → contributing/contributing.md
- developer/api/INDEX.md → developer/api/api-reference.md
- developer/api/collections/INDEX.md → developer/api/collections/collections-api.md
- Updated all internal links to use new filenames
- Updated navigation.go to skip subdirectory INDEX files from sidebar
- Added Dockerfile to include docs directory in container build
This fixes the issue where multiple 'INDEX' links appeared in the sidebar,
making navigation confusing. Now each section has a descriptive name.
