Previously docusaurus.config.ts had `onBrokenLinks: 'warn'`, so broken
internal links produced advisory warnings during build but didn't gate
merges. Tightening to `throw` surfaces every broken internal route at
build time. Three classes of issue fell out:
1. Stale `/docs/...` and `/docs/6.0.0/...` references in the 6.0.0
versioned snapshot. The user-facing docs section was renamed
`docs` → `user-docs` (routeBasePath) at some point after 6.0.0 was
cut, but the snapshot's links still pointed at the old prefix. The
live site redirects /docs/* → /user-docs/* at runtime, but
Docusaurus's onBrokenLinks checker doesn't honor redirects.
Bulk-rewrote /docs/* → /user-docs/* across the snapshot (and one
/docs/api → /developer-docs/api).
2. Bare-relative MDX links like `[Label](./mcp)` (no .md/.mdx
extension). Docusaurus renders an absolute href in SSR HTML, so
static crawlers see correct links — BUT React Router's `<Link>`
component on the client side resolves the bare path relative to
the current URL on click, so when the page URL has a trailing
slash (e.g. /extensions/overview/), `./mcp` becomes
/extensions/overview/mcp (404). This is exactly the broken-flow a
user reported on /developer-docs/extensions/overview/. Added the
`.md`/`.mdx` extension to all 44 such links across 17 files; this
makes Docusaurus resolve them to the canonical doc URL at the
<Link> level, so SPA navigation works regardless of trailing slash.
3. Miscellaneous content fixes:
- 4 `/configuration/feature-flags` references in 6.0.0 snapshot
pointed at a page that doesn't exist in that version (the
dedicated feature-flags page was added later). Repointed to the
`#feature-flags` anchor inside `configuring-superset.mdx`.
- 3 references to `superset-core/src/superset_core/rest_api/decorators.py`
in extensions docs were rendered as relative URLs, resolving to
/developer-docs/extensions/superset-core/... (404). Converted to
absolute GitHub URLs.
- 1 `/storybook/?path=...` link in extensions/components/index.mdx
pointed at a non-existent route. Repointed to the existing
`/developer-docs/testing/storybook` page that explains how to
run Storybook locally.
- 4 unclosed-paren markdown links in 6.0.0 installation-methods.mdx
(pre-existing source bugs).
Build now passes with `onBrokenLinks: 'throw'`. Note that
`onBrokenAnchors` is still `'warn'` (default); a separate effort
should tighten that and fix the surviving anchor warnings (currently
~60 instances of `/community#superset-community-calendar`).
