docs: fix orbit_troubleshooting.md redirect and create a real troubleshooting page
## Problem `docs/source/orbit_troubleshooting.md` contains: ```yaml redirect_to: 'remote/_index.md' ``` This redirects users looking for troubleshooting help to the Orbit Remote *landing page* — which has no troubleshooting content. There is currently **no troubleshooting page** anywhere in `docs/source/`. A user hitting an error and searching for "troubleshooting" gets redirected to marketing content. ## Proposed solution Two parts: **Part 1 (required):** Fix the redirect in `docs/source/orbit_troubleshooting.md`. Option A (recommended): Point it to a new `docs/source/troubleshooting.md` that you create as part of this issue. Option B: If a proper troubleshooting page already exists in the GitLab docs site at a known URL, point there. **Part 2 (recommended, same MR):** Create a minimal `docs/source/troubleshooting.md` with the most common errors. Starter content from existing sources in the repo: **Orbit Local errors:** - `"Table 'Definition' does not exist"` → repo not indexed yet. Run `glab orbit local index <path>`. - `"Could not set lock on file"` → another `orbit` process is running. Wait or kill it. - `"list_contains source_tags"` → known bug with certain filter combinations. Workaround: remove the `source_tags` filter. - `"unrecognized subcommand 'mcp'"` → `orbit mcp serve` is not yet implemented. **Orbit Remote errors:** - Exit code 2 → feature flag `knowledge_graph` not enabled for your group. Contact your GitLab admin. - Exit code 3 → not authenticated. Run `glab auth login`. - `"insufficient_scope"` on MCP endpoint → token needs `mcp_orbit` scope, not just `read_api`. ## Affected files - `docs/source/orbit_troubleshooting.md` (update redirect) - `docs/source/troubleshooting.md` (new file — recommended) ## Validation - Navigating to the troubleshooting redirect leads to actual troubleshooting content - `mise run lint:docs` passes - Lychee link check passes on all links in the new file ## Hackathon notes - **Difficulty:** L0 - **Estimated effort:** 1–2h - **No server needed:** Yes - **Prerequisites:** None — Markdown only - **How to test:** Follow the redirect and confirm the destination has troubleshooting content; verify each error message listed in the new page is accurate
