Link Health Check

Purpose

Keep the Digital Support Index trustworthy.

When

Use during MAINT, WEEK-GOV, or support index maintenance.

Check

• Do route card links exist?
• Do governance contract links exist?
• Do state source links exist?
• Do evidence target links exist?
• Are external URLs still valid?
• Are placeholders still acceptable?
• Are there stale routes that no longer appear in the governance map?

Output

One of:

• links OK;
• missing links added;
• stale links removed;
• placeholder marked;
• route parked;
• follow-up created.

Stop rule

Do not redesign the whole system during link checking. Fix links or create next pointers.
