 Description   

There are certainly existing tools that can do this, but, for a start:

grep -ERho 'https://[a-zA-Z/.#-]+' . | sort | uniq | xargs curl -I | grep '^HTTP/1.1 404'

This task should run rarely.

We could also have something crawl the docs and API websites similarly. That wouldn't catch URLs in comments, but would catch user-facing stuff.
