Replaced dead links with verified-working URLs (all checked with GET, HTTP 200):

  • docs/admin/collections#preview -> https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/preview
  • docs/fields/slug -> https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/text (slug field is documented on the Text Field page)
  • docs/upload/transformers -> https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/upload/transformers
  • docs/migration-guide/v4#... -> https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/migration-guide/v4
  • lexical.dev/docs/api/interfaces/lexical.EditorConfig -> https://lexical.dev/docs/api
  • monaco typedoc page -> https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/
  • nodemailer.com/smtp/ -> https://nodemailer.com/
  • stripe.com/docs/api/app_info -> https://docs.stripe.com/api

All replacements verified HTTP 200:
- docs/admin/collections#preview -> /docs/admin/preview
- docs/fields/slug -> /docs/fields/text (slug field documented there)
- docs/upload/transformers -> /docs/beta/upload/transformers (v4/beta docs)
- docs/migration-guide/v4#... -> /docs/beta/migration-guide/v4
- lexical typedoc interface -> lexical.dev/docs/api
- monaco typedoc -> monaco-editor site root
- nodemailer.com/smtp/ -> nodemailer.com
- stripe.com/docs/api/app_info -> docs.stripe.com/api

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs: fix dead external links" matches the changeset. The PR replaces outdated external documentation URLs across eight docs and README files, and the title names that main change. It is short and specific. The title is not vague, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description lists each replaced URL and states the reason for each change. It names the verification method (GET requests returning HTTP 200). These match the eight link updates in the file summaries, so the description relates directly to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Link to the appInfo documentation.

The Stripe API overview does not describe the appInfo fields. Link to the Stripe Node SDK’s “Writing a Plugin” section instead. (docs.stripe.com)

Link to the native slug-field reference.

The new page documents the older slugField() helper and says useAsSlug defaults to title. It does not document the native type: 'slug' field shown here. Link to docs/fields/slug.mdx in the repository until its documentation page is available. (payloadcms.com)

Resized output is not cached, and anyone who can read a file can request it at any size within these limits. Before enabling dynamic resizing on a public collection, see [Securing dynamic resizing](https://payloadcms.com/docs/upload/transformers#securing-dynamic-resizing) for how to restrict it with access control, tighten the limits, and cache the output.

Restore the security section anchor.

This link now opens the top of the transformer page, not “Securing dynamic resizing.” That heading is also absent from the page’s table of contents. Add #securing-dynamic-resizing to direct readers to the safeguards. (payloadcms.com)
