Frank 2e33ec36c1 docs: three dangling links, and a gate so they cannot accumulate
The vault is the project's source of truth, so a link to a page that does not
exist is a promise the repo cannot keep. Three were dangling:

- Dankclaw/Gitea.md pointed twice at dankclaw/compose.yaml — **which this
  session retired**. The clean cutover obligation from my own change: the page
  now describes the unit that publishes 3000 and the canonical Caddy unit, and
  records why the compose file is gone.
- Dankclaw/Hermes-Dashboard.md linked [[LAN DNS]]; the page is [[LAN-DNS]].
- LLM/frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4.md linked [[Observability on Dankclaw]]; the
  page is [[Observability]].

scripts/check-vault-links.py + a seam keep it that way. The checker models
Obsidian's rules, which took three corrections to get right — and each was a
false positive that would have sent me editing healthy docs:

  1. Wikilinks are case-insensitive. A case-sensitive matcher reported 45
     breaks; 39 were `[[qBittorrent]]` vs qbittorrent.md.
  2. `[[folder/Note]]` resolves by path suffix, not by stem.
  3. `%20` in a markdown link is URL-encoding, not a filename.

Validating the linter against the resolver it models is the prerequisite for
trusting any of its output — the same discipline that caught a bad assertion of
my own earlier tonight.

"""Report unresolved links in the docs vault (serverAppConfigs-docs).
The vault is the project's source of truth, so a link to a page that does not
exist is a promise the repo cannot keep. This models **Obsidian's** resolution
rules rather than a naive one — three separate false-positive classes were found
while writing it, and a linter that cries wolf is worse than no linter:
1. Wikilinks are **case-insensitive** (`[[qBittorrent]]` -> `qbittorrent.md`).
A case-sensitive matcher reported 45 breaks; 39 were this.
2. A path-qualified wikilink (`[[folder/Note]]`) resolves by **path suffix**,
not by stem, and must not be stem-matched. Treating the whole string as a
stem reported the PP pages as missing when they exist one directory down.
3. `%20` in a markdown link is URL-encoding. Dealing in raw text reported
`Network%20Architecture.md` as missing beside the real file.
Exit status is 1 when any link is unresolved, so it gates a test.
