Current evaluation

Rockcraft hardcodes many documentation slugs used in console errors, but lacks automated validation that their URLs remain valid; using intersphinx is under consideration.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The maintainer explicitly requested tests for all slugs, especially console-emitted links, and later recommended intersphinx; current source contains many doc_slug entries under rockcraft/extensions while no dedicated link or intersphinx tests were found. The need remains valid, although choosing between external link tests and dynamically generated links still requires design triage.

Issue body

### What needs to get done All slugs that are present in the Rockcraft codebase and especially those that are printed to the console must be tested to cope with changes of URL in the Rockcraft docs.in ### Why it needs to get done The Rockcraft docs evolve and that includes the base URL for certain pages. As such, if not tested, the slugs in the codebase can go obsolete and we won't know it unless we have tests.
