I tried this in this repo, but I found that the relative link ../../what-s-new/what-s-deprecated-or-removed-from-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition#deprecated-features doesn't work from the markdown, and I don't think that page is in this repo. I suspect it will likely work in production.

> SharePoint 2010 workflows are deprecated for SharePoint On-Premise on July 16, 2026. If you’re using SharePoint 2010 workflows, we recommend migrating to SharePoint 2013 Workflows or using Power Automate with Azure on-premise data gateway or other supported solutions.

Don't use absolute links... make this relative by removing https://learn.microsoft.com

The page you're linking to doesn't exist in this repo, which is why you're getting a path build error. Use a root-relative link to clear the finding.
