Research direction

Start by locating the MS Docs verifier action and its handling of toc.yml, toc.md, index.yml, and index.md files. Trace how removed article links are detected, then define how the action should identify the last reference and verify that the article is deleted and redirected.

Description

For the MS Docs verifier action, if a PR removes a link to an article from a toc.yml, toc.md, index.yml, or index.md file, but doesn't delete that article, the action could check if that was the last reference to that article and it should be deleted and redirected.
