/**
 * Doc-sync gate: verify that every relative Markdown cross-link resolves to a
 * file that exists. Docs in this repo link to each other by relative path
 * (`[topic](../implemented/2026-…-….md)`, `[the cookbook](adding-a-tool.md)`);
 * a rename or a move silently breaks those links, and nothing caught it before
 * review. The RFC tree reorganization (one `docs/rfc/` with proposed/
 * implemented/ rejected/ subfolders, every file renamed to a dated slug) is the
 * motivating case: ~40 inter-doc links were rewritten by hand, and a single
 * fat-fingered path would have shipped a dead link.
 *
 * Detection is AST-based, mirroring verify-md-wrap: parse each file with
 * mdast-util-from-markdown + GFM, then walk every `link`, `image`, and
 * `definition` node. A target is checked when it is a RELATIVE path; these are
 * skipped because they are not ours to verify:
 *   - absolute URLs with a scheme (`https:`, `http:`, `mailto:`, …),
 *   - protocol-relative URLs (`//host/path`),
 *   - root-absolute paths (`/foo` — no stable base in a repo checkout),
 *   - pure in-page anchors (`#section`).
 * For a relative target the `#fragment` and `?query` are stripped, the path is
 * resolved against the linking file's directory, and the result must exist on
 * disk. This is checker, not fixer: it reports and never rewrites.
 *
 * Scope is the other doc-sync gates' set plus the two AGENTS.md files AND the
 * repo-authored agent-skill Markdown under `.agents/skills/` — those skill
 * files cross-link into the docs tree (e.g. the dsh-code-review skill cites the
 * RFC index), so a rename must not silently break them either: README.md,
 * docs/** /*.md, packages/* /README.md, AGENTS.md, packages/AGENTS.md,
 * .agents/skills/** /*.md. The root and packages/ CLAUDE.md are symlinks to the
 * AGENTS.md files, so they are deduped by real path.
 *
 * Run: `tsx scripts/verify-md-links.ts`.
