+"""Test for validating documentation links.
+
+This module contains tests that validate the links in the project documentation.
+It uses the linkchecker tool to verify that links are not broken.
+
+The tests build the documentation using `uv run --group docs mkdocs build` and then
+run linkchecker on the generated site to ensure all links are valid.
+
+There are two test functions:
+1. test_docs_links_are_valid() - Checks internal links only (suitable for CI)
+2. test_docs_external_links_are_valid() - Checks external links (may skip in CI)
+
+Requirements:
+- linkchecker must be installed (included in dev dependencies)
+- The mkdocs documentation must be buildable
