Atif Ali 062c0fdd3b docs: rebrand Windsurf doc page to Devin Desktop (#28205)
## Summary

Cognition (maker of Devin) rebranded the Windsurf Editor as Devin
Desktop on June 2, 2026, after acquiring it from Codeium in July 2025.
Our docs still referred to the editor as Windsurf and linked to a dead
`codeium.com` domain.

## Changes

- Renamed `docs/user-guides/workspace-access/windsurf.md` to
`devin-desktop.md`, rewritten to lead with Devin Desktop branding, note
the Codeium -> Windsurf -> Devin Desktop history, and use current links
(`windsurf.com`, `docs.windsurf.com`) instead of dead `codeium.com`
ones.
- Updated `docs/manifest.json` and
`docs/user-guides/workspace-access/index.md` to reference the new page.
- Updated remaining Windsurf mentions to Devin Desktop in
`docs/ai-coder/ide-agents.md`, `docs/ai-coder/index.md`,
`docs/reference/glossary.md`, and
`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/clients/index.md`.
- Added `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` to `.github/.linkspector.yml` ignore
patterns; both rate-limit repeated automated requests with 429s (same
class of issue as the `codeium.com`/`marketplace.visualstudio.com` fix
in #28203).
- Switched every module reference from `windsurf` to the new
`devin-desktop` registry module (`docs/about/contributing/modules.md`,
the three `get-started/customize-your-template/*.md` Terraform
tutorials, and the main doc page's module link), since the new module
actually renders `display_name = "Devin Desktop"` / `slug =
"devin-desktop"` in the UI (the old `windsurf` module hardcodes
"Windsurf Editor").

<summary>Scope notes / sequencing</summary>

The `devin-desktop` module referenced here is being added in
[coder/registry#1050](https://github.com/coder/registry/pull/1050) (not
yet merged/released). That PR is itself gated on
[coder/coder#28214](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/28214)
(whitelisting the `devin:` URI scheme) shipping in a released Coder
version first. This docs PR can merge independently, the module link
will 404 until #1050 is released, same as any
docs-ahead-of-registry-release sequencing.

The Terraform code samples now show `module "devin-desktop"` because
that module's `display_name`/`slug` are properly parameterized (unlike
`windsurf`, which hardcodes "Windsurf Editor"/`windsurf` regardless of
what's passed in), so the docs stay accurate to the rendered UI.

</details>

## Validation

- `make lint` (docs lint, markdownlint, repo checks) passes.
- Manually verified the new outbound links (`docs.windsurf.com`) return
200; `windsurf.com`/`devin.ai` are rate-limited (429) from this
environment too, hence the added ignore patterns.

Stacked on #28203 (targets that branch so the diff here stays scoped to
the rebrand; will retarget to `main` once #28203 merges).
