Subject: [PATCH 1/5] docs: fix the dead links the online link check reports

The weekly online link check has failed every run; run 42809150911
listed 63 dead-link locations. 40 sit in eval cases, which the
standards caller now skips (melodic-software/standards#990). This fixes
the rest: renamed anchors on code.claude.com and platform.claude.com,
fragments only JavaScript renders (staticcheck, Chrome DevTools, Apple
HIG, unversioned npm docs), moved Bun and refusals pages, a deleted x.com
reply, an expired run link, a removed skill linked at its last commit,
and placeholder URLs moved into code spans. Two live pages that refuse
the runner get exact .lycheeignore entries.

maintenance-file-dead-links.yml listens for the link check under both
its current and its renamed name, so the rename in standards#990 does
not disconnect it.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] docs: keep section anchors that only JavaScript renders

A skill pointer must name its section
(.claude/rules/skill-bodies-state-current-rules.md), so the staticcheck,
Chrome DevTools Protocol and Apple HIG anchors return. lychee reads the
served HTML, where those pages carry no heading ids, so each exact URL
gets a .lycheeignore entry with its reason.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] docs: keep the template's upstream link and drop two
 stale fragments

The absorb-upstream record template goes back to a markdown link, so
filled records keep the link form the existing records use; its unfilled
placeholder URL gets an exact .lycheeignore entry. The code-tidying and
playwright fragments go: since the anchors were restored, this branch no
longer changes those plugins.
