Pointing at a doc instead of duplicating its prose next to the code is what
the comment-block lint pushes people toward, and nothing checked that the
pointers still resolve. The reorg that prompted the preceding commit broke
41 references and every one of them merged green.
Two arms: repo-root-relative `docs/` paths, and relative markdown links
resolved against the linking file. Scope is every tracked file rather than a
type list — the dead references were in css, html and an ignore file as well
as in markdown and nix.
Three controls, because a link checker whose extractor quietly matches
nothing passes forever while checking nothing: each arm must have found
candidates, and at least one pointer must have resolved. Any of those failing
exits non-zero and says the script is broken rather than the tree.
Escape hatch is the `lint:allow` marker the tracker-tag lint already uses.
Its only current users are in reference-docs.nix, where a path naming a file
the derivation synthesizes into $out is correct precisely because the repo
does not have it.
Also runs in the pre-push hook alongside the other two.
