Part 4 of 4. Stack: #3795#3796#3797#3798 (this)

What this is

One section migrated end to end, as the investigation's proof: 147 links to repo-root-relative /content/ paths and 8 note shortcodes to native blockquote alerts. The source becomes standard Markdown that resolves in VS Code and GitHub as well as in Hugo, with unchanged published output.

Why /content/ rather than ../../../

@dwdougherty objected on #3732 that source-relative links produced long parent-traversal chains — fair: 3 levels on 34 of the 147 links, 2 or more on 100. Both GitHub's rendered view and VS Code resolve a leading slash against the repository root, so the /content/ prefix is what makes one link work in all three places.

It also behaves better on the doubly-mounted Active-Active tree, where the same source is served under two URLs:

Notation under /operate/rs under /operate/rc
relref /operate/rs/… /operate/**rs**/…
/content/…md /operate/rs/… /operate/**rs**/…
../…md /operate/rs/… /operate/**rc**/…

Repo-root-relative tracks relref exactly; source-relative is the one that diverges. So this notation is the faithful relref replacement, and the form it replaces was quietly changing behaviour on that tree.

Verified

No href differences across the migrated pages or either Active-Active mount, no new warnings, no errors, build time unchanged.

Caveat worth stating plainly: HTML parity is not feed parity. The .md/.json outputs were broken for these pages both before and after the notation change, which is why the pipeline fix in #3796 is a prerequisite in this stack rather than a follow-up.

Open question for reviewers

relref is unaffected and still works — 30,218 calls across 4,027 files build warning-free alongside these plain links. But Hugo resolves /develop/x, /develop/x.md and bare develop/x to the same correct URL with no warning, so it cannot distinguish "portable" from "merely working". A non-/content/ link builds a clean site and is silently broken in GitHub and VS Code. If we standardise on this, it wants a lint — .claude/hooks/check_shortcode_paths.py validates relref/image/embed-* today and gives plain Markdown links no validation at all.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only link and callout formatting in the redis-py section; no application or runtime code changes.

Overview
This PR migrates the entire content/develop/clients/redis-py section to portable Markdown so links work in Hugo, GitHub, and VS Code without changing published URLs.

Internal links: Hugo {{< relref "..." >}} calls are replaced with repo-root-relative paths such as /content/develop/clients/redis-py/connect.md#... (and _index.md where needed). That covers cross-links to other develop/operate/integrate/command pages across the redis-py guides (connect, async, failover, search examples, etc.).

Callouts: Eight {{< note >}} shortcodes become GitHub-flavored alert blockquotes (> [!NOTE] with blockquoted body), including notes on TLS/AMR, client-side caching, SCH/RESP3, query dialect defaults, and Pub/Sub failover message loss.

Hugo shortcodes for examples (clients-example, jupyter-example, alert, etc.) are unchanged; this is a notation-only docs refactor for link portability and editor preview.

…and callouts

Converts one section end to end as the investigation's proof: 147 links to
repo-root-relative /content/ paths, and 8 note shortcodes to native
blockquote alerts. The source is now standard Markdown that resolves in
VS Code and GitHub as well as here, and the published output is unchanged.

Repo-root-relative was chosen over source-relative after review feedback
about long parent-traversal chains. Both GitHub's rendered view and VS Code
resolve a leading slash against the repository root, so the /content/ prefix
is what makes a link work in all three places at once.

The notation also matters on the doubly-mounted Active-Active tree, where the
same source is served under two URLs. There, repo-root-relative resolves
exactly as relref does, while source-relative diverges by keeping the reader
inside the second mount. This form is the faithful relref replacement.

Verified against the relref baseline: no href differences across the migrated
pages or either mount, no new warnings, no errors. Note that HTML parity is
not feed parity, which is why the pipeline change lower in this stack is a
prerequisite rather than a follow-up.

I tested a bunch of links and looked at some of the callouts. LGTM.
