Updates documentation links across the repository to point to current GitHub Docs canonical pages (avoiding redirects/stale paths) and includes a minor formatting fix in an issue template file.
Changes:
- Updated redirected/stale GitHub Docs URLs in
README.md,docs/advanced-usage.md, anddocs/adrs/0000-caching-dependencies.md. - Kept existing anchors intact while moving to newer docs paths (e.g., caching example anchor in ADR).
- Adjusted
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.mdformatting (missing trailing newline per PR description).

Several documentation links had been moved as part of GitHub Docs site restructuring (
help.github.com→docs.github.com,guides/→tutorials/,using-github-hosted-runners/→concepts/runners/, REST API overview reorganisation). Leaving redirect chains in placedegrades link reliability and may break in the future if redirects are removed.
