Two checks that cannot be decided by reading one file, and the thirteen dead links they uncovered.

The parser was blind to two places links live

Links inside table cells and inside MDC prop blocks (to:, href:) never reached doc.links. The framework index points at every framework page from a table; the adapter index points at every adapter from a card group. None of it counted.

Fixing that surfaced 13 broken links in packages/evlog/README.md that no check could see before:

- ([example](./examples/nextjs))
+ ([example](https://github.com/HugoRCD/evlog/tree/main/examples/nextjs))

examples/ sits at the repository root, so ./examples/… resolves from the root README (a symlink) and 404s from the package copy, which is what npm and GitHub display. Same class as the ./LICENSE bug in #596, thirteen times over, in the table a reader uses to find their framework.

D-02 now measures the description

A search result shows about 160 characters. 38 of 97 pages were over it, one as long as 251, so the tail of the sentence was never read by anyone. All 38 rewritten to fit, none by truncation:

- The cheapest moment to add structured logging is before the first request. Pick evlog on day zero and your application inherits a structured surface, typed catalogs, an audit trail, AI SDK telemetry, and a drain pipeline you don't have to build later.
+ The cheapest moment to add structured logging is before the first request. Pick evlog on day zero and the rest of the system inherits it.

The check only applies to pages that serve a route. A SKILL.md description is a routing decision for an agent (M-06) and is long on purpose; my first version flagged those too, which was wrong.

D-11 finds the pages nothing suggests

voice.md promises the docs suggest the next move rather than waiting to be searched. A page nothing links to breaks that promise, and the navigation is not a substitute: it lists what exists, it does not say when you need it.

32 routes at first, 12 after the parser learned to read tables and cards. The 20 that cleared were false positives. The 12 that remain are mostly section indexes reached only by the nav, which the rule documents as the honest exception.

One check I broke and fixed

Harvesting inline code from table rows made T-15 fire on evlog/browser in a row that says it is deprecated: the deprecation guard reads the sentence around a symbol, and a table row had no sentence. Row text is now kept for context only.

doctrine.test.mjs also caught me shipping D-11 before writing it. Both rules are now in rules/docs.md.

Checks

116 scanner tests, six new. evlog-docs lint passes. One commit. No changeset.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@HugoRCD, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 19 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds corpus-wide documentation checks for description length and inbound links. It extends Markdown parsing for links and table rows, integrates findings into lint scores, updates page descriptions, and converts framework README links to absolute GitHub URLs.

Changes

Documentation quality

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reach and description linting
.agents/skills/write-evlog-content/references/rules/docs.md, scripts/content-lint/...
Adds 50–160 character description checks and orphan-page detection. Link extraction now covers prose, tables, and MDC props. Findings affect lint scores.
Documentation metadata and external links

Revises descriptions across the documentation sections and changes framework example links to absolute GitHub URLs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d454

The PR adds repository-wide documentation reachability and description checks, but the current implementation can treat a page’s self-link as sufficient reachability and can flag section indexes that the rules exempt. These false negatives and false positives make the checks unreliable, so the PR should not merge until those cases are corrected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the retention guarantee.

The description says that errors and slow requests are never dropped. The same page allows error: 0 and retains slow requests only when a matching duration condition is configured. Qualify the description to state the default behavior and the required tail-sampling configuration.

Suggested wording
-description: Two-tier sampling: head sampling drops noise by level, tail sampling rescues events by outcome. Errors and slow requests are never dropped.
+description: Two-tier sampling: head sampling drops noise by level, while tail sampling keeps configured outcomes. Errors are kept by default, and slow requests are kept when a duration condition matches.
