Fix for #6614 — README quick-start link to config docs is broken (404)

Problem

The Next Steps and Get Help sections in docs/QUICKSTART.md used bare filenames (e.g., wrtc.md, PROTOCOL.md) instead of docs/-prefixed paths. When GitHub renders these links from the repo root, they all 404 because the target files live in docs/, not the repository root.

Links Fixed (6 total)

Before (broken) After (working)
FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
wrtc.md docs/wrtc.md
PROTOCOL.md docs/PROTOCOL.md
WHITEPAPER.md docs/WHITEPAPER.md
../CONTRIBUTING.md CONTRIBUTING.md (correct from within docs/)
API_WALKTHROUGH.md docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md

Verification

Each target file confirmed to exist at the corrected path:

docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md ✓
docs/wrtc.md ✓
docs/PROTOCOL.md ✓
docs/WHITEPAPER.md ✓
CONTRIBUTING.md ✓
docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md ✓

Closes #6614

…#6614)

The 'Next Steps' and 'Get Help' sections used bare filenames instead of
docs/ prefixed paths. When rendered on GitHub from the repo root, these
links all 404 because the target files live in docs/ not the root.

Fixed links:
- FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md → docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- wrtc.md → docs/wrtc.md
- PROTOCOL.md → docs/PROTOCOL.md
- WHITEPAPER.md → docs/WHITEPAPER.md
- ../CONTRIBUTING.md → CONTRIBUTING.md (correct relative path from docs/)
- API_WALKTHROUGH.md → docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md

Review for RustChain PR #6633, head d60cbaa.

Requesting changes. This PR is intended to fix QUICKSTART relative links, but most of the new targets are still broken when resolved from docs/QUICKSTART.md, and the PR also adds an unrelated test file that can fail local unittest discovery.

Validation performed locally:

git diff --check origin/main...HEAD
python -m py_compile tests/test_p2p_blocks.py
python -B -m unittest discover tests -p test_p2p_blocks.py -v

Results:

  • git diff --check origin/main...HEAD passed.
  • python -m py_compile tests/test_p2p_blocks.py passed.
  • python -B -m unittest discover tests -p test_p2p_blocks.py -v failed with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pytest'.

Specific blockers:

  1. docs/QUICKSTART.md lives inside docs/, so links like (docs/wrtc.md) resolve as docs/docs/wrtc.md on GitHub, not docs/wrtc.md. I checked the new targets locally:
docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md     exists
docs/docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md does not exist
docs/wrtc.md                    exists
docs/docs/wrtc.md               does not exist
docs/PROTOCOL.md                exists
docs/docs/PROTOCOL.md           does not exist
docs/WHITEPAPER.md              exists
docs/docs/WHITEPAPER.md         does not exist
docs/docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md    does not exist

For links from docs/QUICKSTART.md, the existing same-directory docs should generally stay as wrtc.md, PROTOCOL.md, WHITEPAPER.md, FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md, etc. Adding docs/ in front makes them point one directory too deep.

  1. The PR adds tests/test_p2p_blocks.py containing only import pytest. That file is unrelated to QUICKSTART link correction and creates an import-time failure under unittest discover when pytest is not installed. It should be removed from this docs PR unless it is part of a separate, intentional test change with a real test body and dependency assumptions.

  2. The CONTRIBUTING.md change should be intentional. ../CONTRIBUTING.md from docs/QUICKSTART.md points to the root contributor guide, while CONTRIBUTING.md points to docs/CONTRIBUTING.md. Both files exist, but the link text says "Contribute code", so the root guide may still be the better target unless the docs guide is explicitly desired.

Reviewed PR #6633 at head d60cbaa.

I think this needs changes before merge because the core link fix appears inverted for a file that already lives under docs/. GitHub resolves relative markdown links from the containing file, so changing docs/QUICKSTART.md links from wrtc.md, PROTOCOL.md, WHITEPAPER.md, and API_WALKTHROUGH.md to docs/wrtc.md, docs/PROTOCOL.md, etc. would point readers to docs/docs/... and remain broken. The FAQ link has the same issue: from docs/QUICKSTART.md, FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md is the sibling path, while docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md resolves one directory too deep.

The CONTRIBUTING.md change also goes the wrong direction. From docs/QUICKSTART.md, the repository-root file is ../CONTRIBUTING.md; changing it to CONTRIBUTING.md points to docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, which does not exist.

One more concrete issue: tests/test_p2p_blocks.py is unrelated to the docs link fix and only contains import pytest with no assertions. It should be removed from this PR unless there is a real regression test tied to #6614; otherwise this is a non-doc file added to a doc-only PR and can create unnecessary dependency/collection noise.

Suggested fix: keep sibling docs as bare filenames, keep root-level CONTRIBUTING as ../CONTRIBUTING.md, and drop the empty test file.

Merged + paid 10 RTC (Low #2867 — docs). Reserved at RTC904d9080…. Thanks @crowniteto — Low/docs tier is the auto-merge path; recurrence-watch is for Critical/High claims only.

Thanks for fixing the QUICKSTART links, but this currently makes several docs links point to docs/docs/....

docs/QUICKSTART.md already lives inside the docs/ directory. After this change, links such as docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md, docs/wrtc.md, docs/PROTOCOL.md, docs/WHITEPAPER.md, and docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md resolve relative to docs/QUICKSTART.md as docs/docs/..., which does not exist.

I checked the edited links from the repo root:

docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md -> docs/docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md missing
docs/wrtc.md -> docs/docs/wrtc.md missing
docs/PROTOCOL.md -> docs/docs/PROTOCOL.md missing
docs/WHITEPAPER.md -> docs/docs/WHITEPAPER.md missing
docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md -> docs/docs/API_WALKTHROUGH.md missing

This branch also no longer merges cleanly into current origin/main (git merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD reports a conflict in docs/QUICKSTART.md). The docs-local links should stay relative to the current file, e.g. FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md, wrtc.md, PROTOCOL.md, etc., while root-level files need ../... if they are outside docs/.

Thanks for the doc-link fixes! This now conflicts with main in docs/QUICKSTART.md (and the new tests/test_p2p_blocks.py is an empty stub — please drop it or add a real test). Could you rebase on latest main and resolve the QUICKSTART conflict? Happy to merge once it's clean.

Thanks for looking at the QUICKSTART links — but I think this rewrite goes the wrong direction, and there's an unrelated file mixed in. Two things before it can merge:

  1. The relative paths look inverted. docs/QUICKSTART.md lives in docs/, and GitHub resolves its relative links from that directory. So:

    • [FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md](FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md) already resolves correctly to docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md. Changing it to docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.md makes it resolve to docs/docs/FAQ_TROUBLESHOOTING.mdbroken.
    • [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) is correct (CONTRIBUTING is at repo root). Changing it to CONTRIBUTING.md points at docs/CONTRIBUTING.mdbroken.

    Could you double-check the actual on-disk locations and confirm which links are genuinely broken on main? If a specific link 404s, I want to fix that one correctly rather than prefix everything with docs/.

  2. Unrelated file: the PR adds tests/test_p2p_blocks.py containing only import pytest (empty stub, no newline). Please drop it — a docs link fix shouldn't add a placeholder test.

Happy to merge a tightly-scoped version once the link direction is confirmed against the real paths. 🦞
