 - **Secret documentation:** Before proposing (audit) or implementing (fix) any documentation related to secret definitions or usage, the agent must consult [`elastic/observability-github-secrets`](https://github.com/elastic/observability-github-secrets) and its root `README.md` as the Observability org source of truth for secret management. The fix stage must not add guidance that contradicts or extends beyond that source.
 - Treat leading `-` (and similar) in **table cells** as potentially intentional (for example icon or status placeholders); avoid “cleaning” them without evidence of a real defect.
-- Preserve existing markdown link fragments (`#...`) unless target-heading verification proves a correction is required; when editing links with fragments, validate against the target heading slug first. This includes icon-prefixed headings where the valid slug starts with `-`: the `-` character is a valid replacement for a leading icon in heading text and therefore a valid part of the anchor slug (for example, changing `[Lab 01: Troubleshooting](01-installation-setup.md#-troubleshooting-quick-reference)` to `[Lab 01: Troubleshooting](01-installation-setup.md#troubleshooting-quick-reference)` is invalid when the verified slug is `#-troubleshooting-quick-reference`).

 - Do not hand-edit **auto-generated** documentation in the fix PR (docs-only); the audit should steer fixes toward generators, templates, or other sources of truth, and the PR body should record any follow-up that is outside this workflow’s scope.
 - Preserve or lightly refresh **legacy inline comments** that still document useful context or history; avoid deleting them only for brevity.
