[error-path]

README's "How it works" flowchart failed to parse on GitHub: graph is a reserved Mermaid keyword and can't be a node id. Renamed it to imports.

docs/**/*.md and CHANGELOG.md linked to sibling pages as name.html, which only exists in the Jekyll build (docs/Gemfile already enables jekyll-relative-links, on by default for GitHub Pages native builds). Those links 404 on github.com. Rewrote them as relative .md links so Jekyll converts them to .html at build time and GitHub renders them directly; also replaced three {{ '...' | relative_url }} Liquid links in plain doc prose with the same relative .md form (left docs/research/index.md's templated collection loop alone — Liquid is right there). Fixed one spec link (docs/specs/2026-10-21-seo-long-term-design.md) whose relative path was wrong regardless of extension.

Could not build the Jekyll site locally to verify end to end: Ruby 4.0.7's native gem extensions (bigdecimal, eventmachine, json) fail to compile on this machine's clang/SDK headers (stdckdint.h not found), unrelated to this repo. Verified instead from jekyll-relative-links' documented behavior and docs/_config.yml/docs/Gemfile's existing plugin list.

Added two offline checks so this class of bug fails CI instead of surfacing on github.com:

• scripts/check-md-links.mjs: every relative link and #anchor in README/CHANGELOG/CONTRIBUTING/SECURITY/docs//skills/ must resolve to a real file and a real heading, computed with no Jekyll build.
• scripts/check-mermaid.mjs: a ```mermaid flowchart node id can't be a Mermaid reserved word (graph, end, subgraph, ...) — the exact class of the README bug.

Chose a dependency-free .mjs script + vitest wrapper (tests/scripts/*.test.ts) over lychee or another external tool: the repo already uses this exact pattern for offline checks (scripts/check-site.mjs, scripts/metrics-path.mjs), and it plugs into the existing npm test/npm run check/ci.yml gate — which already runs on every PR regardless of path — with no new workflow step, binary install or network access. A full Mermaid grammar check needs mermaid's renderer (a DOM via jsdom or a headless browser), too heavy for this repo's two diagrams; the reserved-id lint covers the reported failure class directly.

Also caught up README.md with v0.5.0: added the Verification pass and Pre-PR self-check rows to the Features table and a Verification pass row to the Documentation table, both shipped in 0.5.0 but missing from README. docs/captain.md already correctly documents coupling.missing as info-only and the outcome-labels study; no stale claim found there.

Timing (rule 14): the new checks' vitest run was 160ms (tests/scripts/check-md-links.test.ts + check-mermaid.test.ts, 16 tests). Full npm run check under the CI-like env (rule 15) passed: typecheck, test 25.87s (1190 passed), test:slow 210.52s (551 passed, 1 skipped).

What and why

How it was tested

• npm run check passes
• npm run build:action run and action/dist committed (if src/ changed)
• docs/specs updated (if a contract in src/domain/types.ts or the policy changed)
