Only 404 lint unique files (#15452)

## DESCRIBE YOUR PR The 404 link checker GitHub Action was processing over 9,000 pages despite the repository containing only ~2,200 source files. The Sentry docs use a "common files" architecture where a single source file generates multiple URLs across platforms and guides and we were checking every generated page independently. Also made moves to what's bundled during the build to avoid Vercel's 250MB limit on serverless function size. **Implemented source-based deduplication using the existing /api/source-map endpoint:** - Fetch source-map that maps each slug to its source file - Track which source files have been checked - Only check one page per unique source file - Always check API-generated pages (no source file) **That gets us...** - ~72% faster - Checks ~2,200 unique pages instead of 9,000 - ~72% fewer HTTP requests - Massive reduction in server load - Same coverage - Still validates all pages, just efficiently ## IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT? Help us prioritize incoming PRs by letting us know when the change needs to go live. - [ ] Urgent deadline (GA date, etc.):  - [ ] Other deadline:  - [ ] None: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+ ## SLA - Teamwork makes the dream work, so please add a reviewer to your PRs. - Please give the docs team up to 1 week to review your PR unless you've added an urgent due date to it. Thanks in advance for your help! ## PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST *Make sure you've checked the following before merging your changes:* - [ ] Checked Vercel preview for correctness, including links - [ ] PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs (subject matter experts) - [ ] PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the [Sentry docs team](https://github.com/orgs/getsentry/teams/docs) ## LEGAL BOILERPLATE  Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms. ## EXTRA RESOURCES - [Sentry Docs contributor guide](https://docs.sentry.io/contributing/) --------- Co-authored-by: getsantry[bot] <66042841+getsantry[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

+# 404 Link Checker
+
+This script checks all documentation pages for broken internal links (404s).
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage (with deduplication - recommended)
+bun ./scripts/lint-404s/main.ts
+
+# Show progress for each page
+bun ./scripts/lint-404s/main.ts --progress
+
+# Skip deduplication and check all pages (for debugging)
+bun ./scripts/lint-404s/main.ts --skip-deduplication
+
+# Filter to a specific path
+bun ./scripts/lint-404s/main.ts --path platforms/javascript
+```
+
+## Deduplication
+
+By default, the checker **deduplicates common files** to improve performance.
+
+### Why?
+
+The Sentry docs use a "common" file system where documentation is shared across multiple platforms. For example:
+
+- `/platforms/apple/common/configuration/index.mdx` is rendered as:
+  - `/platforms/apple/guides/ios/configuration/`
+  - `/platforms/apple/guides/macos/configuration/`
+  - `/platforms/apple/guides/watchos/configuration/`
+  - ... and many more
+
+Without deduplication, the checker would fetch and test the same content dozens of times, which:
+
+- Takes much longer to run
+- Wastes CI resources
+- Provides no additional value (the content is identical)
+
+### How it works
+
+1. The checker fetches a source map from `/api/source-map` that maps each slug to its source file
+2. It tracks which source files have been checked
+3. For common files, it only checks the first instance
+4. **API-generated pages** are always checked (they have no source file)
+
+This typically reduces the number of pages checked from **~9,000 to ~2,500**, a **72% reduction**.
+
+### When to use `--skip-deduplication`
+
+Use this flag to skip deduplication and verify that all rendered pages work correctly, even if they share the same source. This is rarely necessary but can help debug issues with:
+
+- Path routing
+- Platform-specific rendering bugs
+- Edge cases in the build system
+
+## Ignore List
+
+The `ignore-list.txt` file contains paths that should be skipped during checking. Add paths here (one per line) if they're known to be inaccessible or are special cases.
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+- `0` - No 404s found
+- `1` - 404s were detected
