docs: guidelines-links - Record validation findings and remediation plan - #591
This repository enforces changelog, release, and label automation for all PRs and issues.
See the organisation-wide Automation Governance & Release Strategy for required rules.
Linked issues
No new issue association or closing reference is proposed by this metadata update. T050 is the existing specification task reference, not a new native issue association.
What changed
Record the T050 link-analysis findings and remediation recommendations, and subsequent Phase 2 guideline-pointer, mapping and specification updates for specification 003.
The inspected comparison at head b8333c17677b90a2f7e7479e780e84b821e1d775 against base 0b708380c90dd959f94a02aa1489350c119e67b7 contains 20 changed files: 13 guideline files, including three archived guidelines; five specification/report files; the Markdown lint configuration; and the changelog. The original four-file report/configuration contribution, linked below at its historical revision, remains historical context for this scope:
The guideline changes introduce relocation, consolidation or archival pointer text; they are not uniformly complete document replacements. The other updates expand the G-to-N mapping in the consolidation manifest; update the specification to phase-2-in-progress and record acceptance/sign-off clarifications; and mark T049 and T056 complete in the task register. Those recorded task states do not independently verify pointer validity, content preservation or whole-outcome completion. T050 remains unchecked.
The committed link-validation report retains the analysis timestamp 2026-11-11T06:14:11.469Z and records 888 internal links: 732 working, 156 broken and zero unknown. The original PR summary describes coverage across 145 Markdown files. These are historical recorded analysis results, not a fresh validation of the current comparison.
The committed remediation report retains timestamp 2026-11-11T06:14:38.408Z and records zero fixed links and 156 needing review. Neither report establishes that the subsequent pointer or N-document changes have been validated. This PR does not establish completion of link correction.
Audience & placement
Audience: Ash, for guidelines documentation and specification review.
Location: the existing specification 003 reports, consolidation manifest, specification and task register; 13 guideline documents; repository Markdown lint configuration; and Unreleased changelog.
Boundary: recorded analysis, remediation recommendations and partial Phase 2 pointer/mapping work, not verified completion of the guidelines refactor.
Preview / Screenshots
Review the current 20-file diff. No interface changes or screenshots are included.
Notes
Recorded findings
The original summary groups the broken links as:
Template placeholders: 25, including file-structure and topic/name placeholder references.
Missing components: 70+, including ContactForm, ScrollBackToTop and PortfolioLightbox.
External paths: 14, including data, reports, development tools, tasks and styles references.
Broken anchors: seven.
Misplaced references: 40, including TSX and external-path references.
These are the original summary’s approximate categories, not a newly verified, mutually exclusive breakdown.
Remaining work recorded for T050 Phases 2–5
Review removal or commenting of template placeholders.
Map missing components to the N-document consolidation.
Correct broken anchors.
Re-run validation against the applicable convergence requirements.
These are recorded follow-up items, not implementation authorised by this PR description.
Recorded validation
The inspected PR baseline is head b8333c17677b90a2f7e7479e780e84b821e1d775 against base 0b708380c90dd959f94a02aa1489350c119e67b7. Linear records the PR as merged on 2026-11-11T21:13:09Z; merge does not establish completion of the documented acceptance or validation requirements.
The latest returned results include successful branch validation, configuration-drift detection, guard-contract checks, Vitest head/base jobs, changelog checks and “No new test failures”. These check results do not independently establish complete link validation, pointer validity or content-preservation coverage.
Specification Validation failed. Its inspected log checks the test-merge revision 17aae150a522c10bdb5243b249f57b761f45c1fa, combining the head and base above, and reports 24 MD060 table-formatting issues in three files before exit code 1.
Netlify deploy-preview and its Header rules, Pages changed and Redirect rules checks recorded failures; Vercel reported success. Earlier author comments report local build/pre-push validation and attribute failures to pre-existing infrastructure or formatting debt. Those reports do not independently establish the cause or baseline provenance of the current failures. Neither preview status establishes production deployment or acceptance.
The returned CodeRabbit review is COMMENTED at b7da14bacec05943e06f9e4842e4def45e794d98, an earlier revision than the current head. Existing review conversations and later CodeRabbit capacity limits do not establish approval of the current 20-file diff.
No commands or tests were executed during this metadata assessment. The complete inventory of 888 individual link results was not independently revalidated.
The shared checklist’s WCAG AA wording below does not weaken the repository’s stronger WCAG 2.2 AAA requirements.
Changelog

Review comments at
@.github/specs/003-refactor-guidelines/link-remediation-report.json:
- Line 974: Update the remediation guidance so links targeting `/data/` are
corrected to the existing documentation under `src/app/data/` before suggesting
that maintainers create a new directory. Keep the centralised data system under
`src/app/data/mock/` in view for UI and component content.
- Line 975: Update Recommendation 3 to remove the template placeholder from its
list of missing files, while retaining guidance for genuine missing documents
such as ContactForm.md or references from N-documents.
After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.
I've updated the remediation recommendations to address the CodeRabbit review comments:
Line 974 (Recommendation 2)
Before: References to /data/, /reports/, /dev-tools/ may need those directories/files created
After: References to /data/ should be corrected to point to src/app/data/ (existing documentation location) before creating new directories. Keep the centralised data system under src/app/data/mock/ in view for UI and component content
This clarifies the remediation priority: correct links to existing paths first, rather than creating new directories.
Line 975 (Recommendation 3)
Before: Missing files like FILE*STRUCTURE.md, ContactForm.md should be created or referenced from N-documents
After: Missing genuine documents like ContactForm.md should be created or referenced from N-documents; template placeholders should not be preserved as document names
This removes the template placeholder FILE*STRUCTURE.md from the list of files to create, while retaining guidance for legitimate missing documents.

… Keep a Changelog compatibility
The Keep a Changelog format legitimately uses repeated headings like 'Added',
'Fixed', 'Changed', and 'Removed' under each version. MD024 was incorrectly
flagging these as errors. Disabled MD024 in .markdownlint.json and added
trailing newline to CHANGELOG.md to satisfy MD047.

- Mark T049 (Execute pointer operations) as IN PROGRESS
- Document Phase 1 completion: 5 Type 1 pointers created
- Reference commit ed06602 for pointer operations
- Track ongoing Phase 2 work (Type 2/3 pointers)
Clarify what constitutes successful link remediation for T050: fixed links
must resolve to existing N-documents or preserved G-documents, with
relocation notes for archived references.

Status field updated from 'implemented' to 'phase-2-in-progress' to reflect
actual work state: specification is complete, but Phase 2 implementation
(T050–T069) is actively underway. Readers can now see at a glance that
work is ongoing.

The Netlify deploy preview is failing with the same pre-existing infrastructure issues:
Pages changed — Configuration drift detected
Header rules — Rule validation failure
Redirect rules — Rule validation failure
These failures are not caused by this PR's documentation changes. They relate to Netlify configuration that was already in an inconsistent state before this rebase.
Markdown Linting: The 24 MD060 errors reported are pre-existing issues that exist on the main branch in:
guidelines/_archive/wordpress-block-patterns.md
guidelines/content-type-colours.md
guidelines/nova-news-dark-mode.md
These files appear as "changed" in this PR because the rebase resolved conflicts by taking main's version. The linting errors are unrelated to the specification documentation changes being made here.
Specification Changes:
✅ Spec documentation (5 clarification commits)
✅ No lint issues introduced by this PR's own changes
✅ Pre-existing table formatting debt on files touched during conflict resolution
