From ceb7e0bd0c5b651e71af944afc335606c875d718 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Payne Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 20:55:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add doc link validator script (closes #103) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add scripts/validate_doc_links.py — scans all markdown files in the repository, extracts inline and autolinks, and verifies each URL via HTTP HEAD request (with GET fallback for servers that reject HEAD). Features: --root : repository root to scan (default: repo root) --fail-on-broken : exit 1 if any broken links found --json : emit JSON report for CI consumption --ignore : comma-separated URL prefixes to skip Ignores non-HTTP URLs, localhost/127.0.0.1, and private IP ranges. Requires only Python stdlib — no external dependencies. Smoke-tested against this repo: 2 unique URLs checked, 0 broken. Addresses 4.8: Doc Link Validator acceptance criteria.
