Description

#2955 fixes some broken links in the docs - mdoc warns about this, but it's a runtime warning log rather than a compiler warning so fatal warnings don't catch it. I'm not sure whether failing on warnings can be configured here or if this needs an issue in mdoc.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2955 and the repository's mdoc task configuration, then check whether mdoc exposes a setting that turns broken-link runtime warnings into task failures. Done means the mdoc task reliably fails when documentation contains broken links, or the issue is redirected to mdoc if that behavior cannot be configured here.
