documentation-index-member-stale
Reports an Index Section entry for a member that is no longer relevant.
What it does
Reports an entry that targets a document or direct child directory path not owned by the current index tree.
Why it matters
The Index Section should describe the current direct members rather than removed or unrelated paths.
Examples
Assume docs/old.md has been removed.
