Research direction

Start by locating how documentation URLs and versioned paths are generated in this repository, then inspect the routing or redirect configuration for unversioned links. Compare the current and v4 examples from the issue; done means versioned documentation URLs are used consistently and unversioned URLs redirect to the current version without breaking existing links.
