Building on recent improvements, the Starlight Links Validator now includes more features useful for large documentation sites like Cloudflare Docs:
- choose if link validation errors fail the build
- JSON error reports for external tooling
- GitHub Actions step output

The Artemis II crew Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Hammock Koch is shown at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in front of their Orion crew module. Astro’s mascot Houston is peeking out from behind the crew module wearing an astronaut helmet.

Good luck out there, astronauts!
Who will be the 100th registration for Astro Together London next week? The schedule is packed with excellent lightning demos from the core team, but it's the hangout time that I'm most looking forward to. It'll be a lot of fun. luma.com/lzh944vx
CLI output of the Starlight Links Validator plugin showing invalid links grouped by source file, with line numbers, error labels, and a summary reporting 4 invalid links across 2 files.
Used a large refactor to make validation reports in the Starlight Links Validator plugin more user-friendly and actionable:
- source locations for issues
- invalid links point to the source
- error messages link to docs with explanations and suggested fixes

Don’t wait
Don’t hesitate
It’s time to update
to Starlight 0.38
@astro.build v6 uses @clack/prompts thanks to some help from our friends at @e18e.dev. Congrats on the big release!
This is a beautiful full circle moment—clack was inspired by our work on the original `create-astro` CLI. Thrilled to finally upstream it!
Open source is better together! 🚀
OK, not the *main* story of the day... but, the v6 major upgrade guide was a BIG part of Team Docs life for months.
A lot of us worked on it. I hope it works for you when you upgrade! (And if it doesn't... well, that's just an opportunity to contribute yourself!)

Astro 6 is here and so is full @netlify.com compatibility on day one.
