+// When a doc page links to a source-tree file with a relative path
+// escaping the docs directory (e.g. `[build.rs](../build.rs)` or
+// `[handler](../src/…/file_handler.rs)`), VitePress rightly flags it
+// as a dead link — those files aren't part of the built site. On the
+// deployed site the click would 404. Locally in an editor / on
+// GitHub, though, those relative paths ARE useful — they let a
+// reader jump to the actual source.
+//
+// This plugin bridges the two: at build time, links whose href
+// starts with `../` get rewritten to their equivalent GitHub blob
+// URL. Source stays terse and useful in-editor; deployed site links
+// resolve on GitHub instead of 404ing.
+//
+// Same repo the `editLink` already points at + the main branch —
+// keep in sync if the canonical repo ever moves.
