Description

"This mixin aims to provide a common interface for pulling XBlock settings from the LMS SettingsService." -> 404

XBlock settings are represented as dictionary stored in django settings and populated from environment *.json files (cms.env.json and lms.env.json) -> 404

I may have misunderstood but it looked like there has been a lot of recent refactoring here, so I'm not sure I'd be able to find the proper URLs to update.

Research direction

Start with the documentation source for xblock-utils/settings-and-theme-support.html and inspect the two links to edx-platform that now return 404. Check the current Open edX locations for SettingsService and the XBlock settings configuration, then update the broken references and verify both links resolve.
