## Goal

Find and fix broken links and dead assets, then add a scheduled check.

## Acceptance criteria

- Every internal and external link resolves
- Dead assets are replaced or removed
- A scheduled check runs and reports failures to an owner
- External link failures are distinguished from internal ones

## What lands as proof

A clean check run plus the schedule that will catch the next rot, since links break after the ticket closes.

## Questions

### What does the agent actually change?

The ticket is scoped to one outcome: find and fix broken links and dead assets, then add a scheduled check. Work that serves that outcome is in scope, and anything outside it is left for a separate ticket, so the pull request stays reviewable.

### How do I know the work is done?

The pull request carries the evidence, not only the diff. Here that means every link resolving, the check running on a schedule afterwards, so a reviewer can confirm the result without reproducing the work locally.

### How much oversight does this need?

None is required before the run starts. Every claim this ticket makes can be checked by machine, so the agent works straight through and a person reviews the finished pull request like any other.
