Summary

Cleans up dead external links flagged by the Check Markdown links workflow (which has been failing on main continuously for ~7 weeks).

1. Cosmos SDK docs reorganization

The docs.cosmos.network site moved to a /sdk/<version>/... layout; all prior /main/... and /v0.47/modules/... paths now 404. Repointed every reference in both docs/ and old-docs/ to verified successors under /sdk/v0.50/ and /sdk/v0.47/build/. Anchor IDs (#parameters, #option-set, #the-distribution-scheme, #params) were verified to exist on the new pages.

Old (404) New
…/main/basics/tx-lifecycle …/sdk/v0.50/learn/beginner/tx-lifecycle
…/main/build/tooling/cosmovisor …/sdk/v0.50/build/tooling/cosmovisor
…/main/learn/advanced/config …/sdk/v0.50/learn/advanced/config
…/main/build/modules/distribution (+ #the-distribution-scheme, #params) …/sdk/v0.50/build/modules/distribution (anchors preserved)
…/v0.47/modules …/sdk/v0.47/build/modules
…/v0.47/modules/gov#parameters …/sdk/v0.47/build/modules/gov#parameters
…/v0.47/modules/gov#option-set …/sdk/v0.47/build/modules/gov#option-set

2. observatory.zone — defunct MEV dashboard

https://observatory.zone/dydx/mev returns 503 from origin consistently (Cloudflare reports x-do-orig-status: 503); the entire site is down, not transient. Removed the linkout in the MEV FAQ entry while preserving the surrounding sentence.

3. autostake.com — defunct provider pages

The whole autostake.com domain returns 404 (root, /networks/, /networks/dydx/). Removed the AutoStake rows from the state-sync, snapshot, and address-book provider tables in both docs/ and old-docs/. Each table retains alternative providers (Polkachu, Lavender.Five, Enigma, KingNodes). The AutoStake-operated RPC/peer/seed endpoint subdomains in inline-code blocks are left alone — those are operational infrastructure URLs, separate from the marketing site, and not flagged by the link checker.

Why this matters

The same broken Cosmos URLs also exist in the active docs/pages/ site (the workflow only scans old-docs/pages/), so this PR also silently fixes latent breakage on the live docs.

Test plan

  • CI: markdown-link-check-md and markdown-link-check-mdx should both pass.
  • Spot-check 2–3 rewritten links render correctly in the Vercel preview.
  • Confirm the MEV FAQ entry reads cleanly without the dropped link.
  • Confirm provider tables still render correctly with AutoStake rows removed.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Cosmos SDK docs reorganized to a /sdk/<version>/... layout, leaving prior
/main/... and /v0.47/modules/... paths returning 404. Repoint all references
to verified successors under /sdk/v0.50/ and /sdk/v0.47/build/.

The observatory.zone/dydx/mev dashboard origin returns 503 consistently
(not transient); remove the linkout while keeping the surrounding text.

Affects both the live docs and the legacy old-docs content.

The autostake.com domain returns 404 across all paths (root, /networks/,
/networks/dydx/), not just specific pages. Remove the AutoStake entries
from the state-sync, snapshot, and address-book provider tables. Each
table retains alternative providers (Polkachu, Lavender.Five, etc.).
