LGTM. htmltest in a container works well and keeps doc builds free of new dev dependencies. One note for later: we already have an in-tree link checker (docs/src/checkref) built on w3c-linkchecker, but it has been a silent no-op for a while since recent w3c-linkchecker refuses file:// URIs, so it validates nothing. This CI check is a real improvement over that. If we ever want something more actively maintained than htmltest, lychee (Rust, async) is excellent. I'd keep it CI-only via Docker though: there is no Debian apt package for it, so it is not a good fit for the local make checkref target where we rely on apt-installable deps. |

There are a few broken links, so continue-on-error is set to true for now.
This is just one tool of many. I tried:
