Problem

The README and the docs named SnapTrade, SimpleFIN, uv, Bun, Pydantic, SQLite, Keepfolio, Claude Code, Codex, and the rest without linking to them. Someone setting up live sync had no link to where the SnapTrade or SimpleFIN credentials actually come from.

Change

  • Every first mention of a third-party vendor per page now links to the vendor's site. The rule covers the README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING, PRIVACY, docs/, and the published Starlight site under docs-site/.
  • The live-sync guides link the SnapTrade sign-up, dashboard, and API docs, and SimpleFIN Bridge, at the point where each credential is introduced.
  • The MCP server list in docs/setup/api-keys.md names Exa, Bright Data, Financial Datasets, and the reference sequential-thinking server. Finnhub and OpenAI are linked in the env-var tables.
  • scripts/backlinks.py holds the vendor registry and applies the first-mention rule. It skips fenced code, inline code, front matter, headings, HTML blocks, existing links, and bare URLs, and it is idempotent. --check runs in CI so a new vendor mention cannot ship unlinked. Four focused tests in tests/python/test_backlinks.py.
  • uv.lock picks up the 2.3.1 version the release commit left behind.

Verification

  • uv run ruff format --check ., uv run ruff check ., uv run mypy src/, uv run pytest -m "not integration": all green locally (1156 passed, coverage 83.4%).
  • uv run python scripts/backlinks.py --check exits 0 on the branch.
  • Every URL added by this diff was probed with curl: all return 200 except fidelity.com, platform.openai.com, and gnu.org, which return 403 to non-browser clients. brightdata.com was confirmed through a search index because this machine's TLS stack cannot negotiate with it.
  • bun run build in docs-site/ builds all 21 pages.
  • markdownlint on every changed file reports only pre-existing MD060 table-alignment issues already present on main.

Made by Claude Fable 5.1 in Claude Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Added direct links throughout guides, reference pages, and project documentation to relevant tools, providers, and external resources.
    • Improved live-sync credential setup guidance, including SnapTrade user credentials and SimpleFIN setup tokens.
    • Added links across API key, troubleshooting, migration, sync, privacy, architecture, and CLI documentation.
    • Linked project terminology and roadmap references for easier further reading.
  • Chores

    • Added an automated check to verify documentation backlinks remain synchronized.

Readers setting up live sync had no link to SnapTrade or SimpleFIN, and the
README and docs named uv, Bun, Pydantic, SQLite, Keepfolio, and the rest
without pointing anywhere. Every first mention per page now links to the
vendor, the live-sync guides link the SnapTrade dashboard, API docs, and
SimpleFIN Bridge where the credentials come from, and the MCP server list
names its providers.

scripts/backlinks.py holds the vendor registry and applies the rule; its
--check mode runs in CI so a new vendor mention cannot ship unlinked.
uv.lock picks up the 2.3.1 version the release commit left behind.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a vendor backlinking script, applies external links across project documentation, adds unit tests, and runs backlink consistency checks in CI.

Changes

Documentation backlink automation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backlink discovery and rewriting
scripts/backlinks.py, .gitignore
Adds vendor metadata, protected-region detection, first-mention Markdown linking, target resolution, CLI write mode, and --check mode.

Backlink tests and CI validation
tests/python/test_backlinks.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Tests first-mention linking, protected regions, existing links, and idempotence. CI runs the backlink check before tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8eed1

This change adds vendor links and enforces them in CI, but some Markdown and HTML constructs can still be rewritten incorrectly and one documented first mention remains unlinked. The impact is limited to documentation correctness and CI consistency, so the change is mergeable with these fixes tracked.

An earlier image whose alt text named a vendor satisfied the first-mention
rule, so the README's architecture diagram hid the Claude Code and Codex
mentions from the linker. Alt text is now protected but never counts as a
link, and the docstring names the historical doc trees left out on purpose.

A four-backtick fence containing a three-backtick line used to close early,
and only five HTML tag names protected their contents. The fence now closes
only on a matching delimiter of equal or greater length, and every block-level
tag Markdown treats as an HTML block keeps its interior unlinked.

…are fence

Replaces the hand-picked tag list with the CommonMark rule: any open tag
other than a void element starts an HTML block, case-insensitively. A closing
fence must be the delimiter alone on its line, so a language-tagged backtick
line inside a fence stays content.

Spec fidelity

Originating request: link every third-party company or API the README and setup docs mention, including direct sign-up links for live sync (SnapTrade, SimpleFIN); open the PR, babysit it, merge when green.

Faithful. SnapTrade and SimpleFIN sign-up, dashboard, and API-doc links sit where each credential is introduced. Every registered vendor's first mention on every reader-facing page links to its site, across the README, AGENTS, CONTRIBUTING, PRIVACY, docs/, and the published docs site.

Interpretation. "Any mention" is applied as first mention per page, not every repetition. Linking the same vendor five times on one page adds noise without adding credit or discoverability.

Scope added.

  • scripts/backlinks.py with a --check step in CI. The request was for links; the tool is how they were applied without hand-editing 35 files, and the check keeps future pages from shipping unlinked. Reversible by deleting one CI step.
  • uv.lock picks up the 2.3.1 version the release commit left behind (one line).

Scope not covered.

  • Historical trees (docs/plans, docs/reports, docs/solutions, docs/adr, docs/brainstorms, docs/VISION.md) are left unlinked on purpose; they are dated records, not setup paths.
  • ITC Risk Models has no verified canonical URL, so it stays plain text rather than a guessed link.
  • Python and Git are linked in prerequisites only, not at every incidental mention of the language.
