Nick Vigilante cfb03f52db fix: update stale docs URLs across non-TS files (#25750)
Closes [DOCS-256](https://linear.app/coder/issue/DOCS-256). Sibling to
[DOCS-253](https://linear.app/coder/issue/DOCS-253) (#25740).

Updates docs URL references across the non-TypeScript surface of
`coder/coder` to match the current docs site structure. Source-of-truth
for redirects is `coder/coder.com/redirects.json` (parent ticket
[DOCS-209](https://linear.app/coder/issue/DOCS-209)).

## What changed

| Area | Files | URL mapping |
|---|---|---|
| Top-level README | `README.md` | `/docs/workspaces` ->
`/docs/user-guides/workspace-management`, `/docs/templates` ->
`/docs/admin/templates`, `/docs/ides` ->
`/docs/user-guides/workspace-access` |
| Docs source | `docs/admin/security/0001_user_apikeys_invalidation.md`
| `/docs/admin/audit-logs` -> `/docs/admin/security/audit-logs` |
| Docs source | `docs/install/cloud/azure-vm.md` |
`/docs/coder-oss/latest/install` -> `/docs/install` |
| Dogfood | `dogfood/coder/guide.md` | `/docs/ides` ->
`/docs/user-guides/workspace-access` |
| Helm | `helm/coder/values.yaml` | `/docs/admin/workspace-proxies` ->
`/docs/admin/networking/workspace-proxies` |
| Enterprise coderd | `enterprise/coderd/coderd.go` |
`/docs/admin/encryption` -> `/docs/admin/security/database-encryption`
(error message) |
| Release tooling | `scripts/release/main_internal_test.go` |
`/docs/admin/upgrade` -> `/docs/install/upgrade` (test fixture, matches
`generate_release_notes.sh`) |
| AI bridge | `aibridge/client.go` | repinned to current `main` SHA on
renamed `docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/monitoring.md`, line range `#L47-L57`
|
| Example templates | 12 `examples/templates/*/README.md`,
`examples/parameters/*`,
`examples/parameters-dynamic-options/README.md`,
`examples/workspace-tags/README.md`, `examples/parameters/main.tf`,
`examples/examples.gen.json` (regenerated) | `/docs/workspaces` ->
`/docs/user-guides/workspace-management`, `/docs/templates/parameters`
-> `/docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/parameters`,
`/docs/templates/dev-containers` ->
`/docs/admin/integrations/devcontainers`, `/docs/dotfiles` ->
`/docs/user-guides/workspace-dotfiles`,
`/docs/about/architecture#agents` ->
`/docs/admin/infrastructure/architecture#agents` |
| Live notification templates (DB) | New migration
`000510_fix_dormancy_notification_docs_urls.up.sql` and `.down.sql` plus
the four regenerated SMTP/webhook goldens under
`coderd/notifications/testdata/rendered-templates/` |
`/docs/templates/schedule#dormancy-threshold-enterprise` ->
`/docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/schedule#dormancy-threshold`,
`/docs/templates/schedule#dormancy-auto-deletion-enterprise` ->
`/docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/schedule#dormancy-auto-deletion`
|

The migration uses `REPLACE(body_template, ...)` scoped by template id
and `LIKE '%/docs/templates/schedule%'`, so it works regardless of which
intermediate state (`000232`, `000262`, `000305`, or `000311`) is
currently in the row.

## What did not change

Historical SQL migrations `000232`, `000262`, `000305`, and `000311` are
not modified because migrations are immutable history. The 18 remaining
stale URL references in those files are superseded at runtime by
migration `000510`. This decision matches the pattern used in the A1
sister PR (#25740).

## Verification

- `go test ./coderd/database/migrations/... -count=1` (UP+DOWN)
- `go test ./coderd/notifications/ -run TestNotificationTemplates_Golden
-update -count=1` to regenerate the four `.golden` files
- `go test ./scripts/release/ -run Test_removeMainlineBlurb -count=1`
- `make pre-commit` (gen + fmt + lint + slim build) ran clean as part of
the commit hook

I also fixed a pre-existing emdash on line 35 of
`examples/templates/azure-linux/README.md` that the lint flagged once
the file entered my diff. The line was already in `main`, but `make gen`
rewrites `examples/examples.gen.json` whenever a `README.md` changes, so
the line came back as a `+` in the diff against `origin/main` and the
`lint/emdash` step refused it.

<details>
<summary>Pre-mortem</summary>

| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Migration overwrites future template edits | Used `REPLACE` instead of
full body overwrite. `WHERE id IN (...) AND body_template LIKE
'%/docs/templates/schedule%'` further scopes the write |
| Goldens drift from migrated body | Regenerated goldens via `-update`
after the migration was in place, so the goldens reflect the
post-migration state |
| Down migration leaves stale URLs | Down migration reverses the REPLACE
so a rollback restores the prior URLs |
| Fragment loss when redirect strips fragment | Verified the destination
`schedule.md` contains `## Dormancy threshold` and `## Dormancy
auto-deletion` anchors |
| Terraform parse breakage in `examples/parameters/main.tf` | Only
comments changed; Terraform parser is unaffected |
| Test fixtures in `scripts/release` diverging from
`generate_release_notes.sh` | Updated to match the script, which already
emits `/docs/install/upgrade` |

# Remote Development on AWS EC2 VMs (Linux)
Provision AWS EC2 VMs as [Coder workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/user-guides/workspace-management) with this example template.
## Prerequisites
### Authentication
By default, this template authenticates to AWS using the provider's default [authentication methods](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs#authentication-and-configuration).
The simplest way (without making changes to the template) is via environment variables (e.g. `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`) or a [credentials file](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html#cli-configure-files-format). If you are running Coder on a VM, this file must be in `/home/coder/aws/credentials`.
To use another [authentication method](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs#authentication), edit the template.
## Required permissions / policy
The following sample policy allows Coder to create EC2 instances and modify
instances provisioned by Coder:
```json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:GetDefaultCreditSpecification",
"ec2:DescribeIamInstanceProfileAssociations",
"ec2:DescribeTags",
"ec2:DescribeInstances",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceTypes",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceStatus",
"ec2:CreateTags",
"ec2:RunInstances",
"ec2:DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications",
"ec2:DescribeImages",
"ec2:ModifyDefaultCreditSpecification",
"ec2:DescribeVolumes"
],
"Resource": "*"
},
{
"Sid": "CoderResources",
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:DescribeInstanceAttribute",
"ec2:UnmonitorInstances",
"ec2:TerminateInstances",
"ec2:StartInstances",
"ec2:StopInstances",
"ec2:DeleteTags",
"ec2:MonitorInstances",
"ec2:CreateTags",
"ec2:RunInstances",
"ec2:ModifyInstanceAttribute",
"ec2:ModifyInstanceCreditSpecification"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:ec2:*:*:instance/*",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"aws:ResourceTag/Coder_Provisioned": "true"
}
}
}
]
}
```
## Architecture
This template provisions the following resources:
- AWS Instance
Coder uses `aws_ec2_instance_state` to start and stop the VM. This example template is fully persistent, meaning the full filesystem is preserved when the workspace restarts. See this [community example](https://github.com/bpmct/coder-templates/tree/main/aws-linux-ephemeral) of an ephemeral AWS instance.
> **Note**
> This template is designed to be a starting point! Edit the Terraform to extend the template to support your use case.
## code-server
`code-server` is installed via the `startup_script` argument in the `coder_agent`
resource block. The `coder_app` resource is defined to access `code-server` through
the dashboard UI over `localhost:13337`.
