[DOCS-349](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-349)
([coder.com#877](https://github.com/coder/coder.com/pull/877)) has
shipped to production and baked for at least one Vercel cycle.
>
> Without DOCS-349, the relative links in this PR resolve to broken
docs-route URLs (`/docs/helm/coder/values.yaml` -> 404) instead of
GitHub URLs tagged with the displayed docs version. DOCS-349 fixes the
rewriter to classify these as GitHub blob/tree URLs with the page's
resolved ref.
## TL;DR
Converts 121 absolute
`https://github.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main/<path>` links across 39
docs markdown files to relative paths. After this lands AND DOCS-349
deploys, every one of these links will follow the displayed docs version
(mainline tag on bare URLs, explicit tag on `/@vX.Y.Z/`, `main` on
`/@main/`) instead of always pointing to `main`.
## Why
Today a reader on `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` follows a
`compose.yaml` link and arrives at `main`'s `compose.yaml`, which
doesn't necessarily match what the docs page describes. Helm values,
Terraform templates, and source-code references in particular drift
across versions. The fix is to let the coder.com rewriter substitute the
page's resolved ref into the URL; that only works on relative links.
## Example payoff (post-DOCS-349)
| URL | Today (absolute, always `main`) | After (relative + rewriter) |
|---|---|---|
| `/docs/install/docker` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.34.1/compose.yaml` (today's
mainline) |
| `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.30.0/compose.yaml` |
| `/docs/@main/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |
## Scope
- **121 conversions** across **39 files**.
- Verb breakdown: `tree/main` (directories) and `blob/main` (files),
both flipped to relative paths.
- Line anchors (`#L23-L24`) and query strings preserved verbatim.
- Conversion is mechanical: relative path computed from the doc file's
directory to the target via `os.path.relpath`. Any path starting at the
same directory or below gets a `./` prefix; otherwise `../` chains.
## Rebased on main
The branch was rebased onto `main` after the DOCS-350 hotfix
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339)) merged. The hotfix
repointed 3 `docs-backend-contrib-guide` refs in `backend.md` to `main`,
which then needed the same `main` -> relative conversion this PR is
doing for the other 121 links. The conflict was resolved by reapplying
the mechanical conversion to `backend.md` after taking the hotfix's
content. Net result: those 3 links land here as relative, same as
everything else. New HEAD `3f501cb622`.
## Inline fix folded in: dead `nix` link
- `docs/about/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md:7` -> `../../../nix`
The original absolute URL `https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/nix`
already returned 404 today. Repointed to `flake.nix` (modern Nix
entrypoint, what the prose "Nix environment" semantically refers to).
Closes [DOCS-357](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-357) here since
the `check-docs` Linkspector job surfaced it during rebase; cheaper to
fix inline than in a separate single-line PR.
## Out of scope (filed separately)
- [DOCS-350](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-350): 3 dead
`docs-backend-contrib-guide` branch refs in `backend.md`
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339), merged).
- [DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352): 10 SHA-pinned
`(blob|tree)/<sha>` links pending intent review.
- [DOCS-355](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-355): code-server
analog (4 absolute `(blob|tree)/main` links in `coder/code-server`).
- [DOCS-356](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-356): 2 upstream
content bugs in `coder/code-server/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (independent of
this PR).
## Not triggering `/coder-agents-review`
Docs-only edit; per `AGENTS.md` the bot review is reserved for
product/CI changes.
## Pre-mortem
| Concern | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Merging before DOCS-349 deploys regresses ~120 currently-working links
into 404s on coder.com | Clear DO-NOT-MERGE banner; tracked as blocker
in Linear. |
| Relative path computed incorrectly (off-by-one `..`) | Verified all
114 newly-relative non-md/non-image paths resolve to existing files in
the repo (only exception is the pre-existing dead `nix` link above). |
| Line anchors stripped during conversion | Preserved by the
substitution regex; verified `#L<n>-L<m>` cases in `airgap.md` and
`speed-up-templates.md`. |
| Future code reorgs change file locations | Relative links will start
pointing to nothing. Same failure mode as absolute links pointing to
renamed files; can be caught with a future link-checker job. |
## Validation
```
$ grep -rE 'github\.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main' docs --include="*.md" | wc -l
0
$ git diff --stat origin/main | tail -1
39 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-)
```
114 newly-relative paths verified to resolve to existing repo files
(Python `os.path.exists` check on each computed target).
<details>
<summary>Decision log + planning context</summary>
**Why relative over `(blob|tree)/{{currentDocsVersion}}/...`
templating**: relative paths require zero markdown-system support and
zero upstream churn beyond this one PR. Templating would require a
preprocessor on `coder.com` side AND a convention upstream authors have
to remember; relative paths just work in a plain editor and
`github.com`'s own renderer too.
**Why `./` prefix on same-directory targets**: makes the conversion
grep-able later (`grep -E '\((\.\./|\./)'`).
**Why preserve `#L<n>-L<m>` anchors verbatim**: the anchor is meaningful
to the linked file's content, not to the URL form; keeping it as-is
preserves authorial intent. If the file later changes such that the line
range drifts, that's a different problem the SHA-pin audit
([DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352)) will surface.

## Drive-by external link fix folded in
`docs/about/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md:296` cited
`https://reflectoring.io/meaningful-commit-messages/` which is returning
HTTP 503 (the host appears to be down site-wide right now). `check-docs`
Linkspector flagged it after the rebase. Replaced with
`https://cbea.ms/git-commit/` (Chris Beams' canonical "If applied, this
commit will..." article, confirmed 200), which is the original source of
the rule the prose recites anyway.
Several relative links in the docs pointed at pages that no longer exist
or rendered incorrectly on coder.com.
Fixes:
- `start/first-template.md`: IDE links repointed from the removed
`../ides.md` / `../ides/web-ides.md` to their current homes under
`user-guides/workspace-access/`.
- `tutorials/example-guide.md`: contributing link repointed to
`../about/contributing/documentation.md`.
- `about/contributing/backend.md`: the `migrations/testdata/fixtures`
and `full_dumps` references (and the `000024_example.up.sql` example)
used relative paths that escape `docs/` and render as bogus
`/docs/coderd/...` routes on the site. Normalized to the canonical
`github.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main/...` form already used by ~120
other source links in the docs.
- Normalized extensionless directory links (`ai-coder/ai-gateway`,
`user-guides/workspace-access`, `install`) to their `/index.md` targets
for consistency with the rest of the docs.
This class of bug is invisible to the local doc checks (`make
lint/markdown` / `pnpm check-docs` only run markdownlint + table
formatting); only CI's Linkspector job validates link targets. Found via
a relative-link audit while investigating the docs preview on #25816.
Source-link version-awareness (so older docs versions don't all point at
`main`) is tracked separately in DOCS-268 and will be handled in the
coder.com render layer.
Linear: DOCS-278
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a deprecation warning callout to the top of the main Coder Tasks
docs page (`docs/ai-coder/tasks.md`).
The message reads:
> Beginning June 2026, Coder Tasks will be deprecated. Support for Tasks
will be maintained on Coder's ESR release and through Coder v2.36. After
v2.36, support for Tasks will only be on our 12-month ESR release for
Coder Premium Customers.
Uses the existing `> [!WARNING]` admonition pattern already used for
deprecations elsewhere in the docs (e.g.
`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/mcp.md`).

## Summary
This PR updates the note on the Tasks documentation page to more clearly
explain the relationship between Premium task limits and the AI
Governance Add-On.
## Problem
The previous wording:
> "Premium Coder deployments are limited to running 1,000 tasks. Contact
us for pricing options or learn more about our AI Governance Add-On to
evaluate all of Coder's AI features."
The "or" in this sentence could be interpreted as two separate paths:
(1) contact sales for custom pricing that might not require the add-on,
OR (2) get AI Governance. This led to confusion about whether higher
task limits could be obtained without the AI Governance Add-On.
## Solution
Updated the note to be explicit about the scaling path:
> "Premium deployments include 1,000 Agent Workspace Builds for
proof-of-concept use. To scale beyond this limit, the AI Governance
Add-On provides expanded usage pools that grow with your user count.
Contact us to discuss pricing."
This makes it clear that:
1. Premium includes 1,000 builds for POC use
2. Scaling beyond that requires the AI Governance Add-On
3. Contact sales to discuss pricing for the add-on
