Erich Blume c7a51ae253 Reject wiki-links with spaces and fix existing ones
Update doc-links task to detect and reject wiki-links that have spaces
in the target or around the pipe separator. Fix all 60 existing links
that had spaces (e.g., [[target | Text]] → [[target|Text]]).

This ensures compatibility with obsidian.nvim which doesn't handle
spaced wiki-links correctly.
