Research direction

Locate the reported URLs in the Bazel documentation pages listed in the Linked From column, then verify each destination and its replacement if needed. Start with the affected pages such as /install, /remote/rules, /contribute/maintainers-guide, and /docs/android-instrumentation-test. Done means the 15 reported external links are corrected or removed and the links no longer fail verification.
