fix: broken layer5.io footer links (service-mesh-workshops, service-mesh-labs, newcomer) #1121

Description

@Oluwatunmise-olat

Current Behavior

Three footer links on docs.layer5.io point to old layer5.io URLs that no longer exist:

  • https://layer5.io/learn/service-mesh-workshops → 404 (renamed to /learn/workshops)
  • https://layer5.io/learn/service-mesh-labs → 404 (renamed to /learn/kanvas-labs)
  • https://layer5.io/newcomer (in README) → 404 (renamed to /newcomers)

The footer links appear on every page of docs.layer5.io and are defined in hugo.toml. The README links appear twice.

Expected Behavior

Footer links should point to the current URLs:

  • https://layer5.io/learn/workshops
  • https://layer5.io/learn/kanvas-labs
  • https://layer5.io/newcomers

Screenshots/Logs

Identified via the layer5.io Google Search Console coverage report (June 2026), which flagged these as contributing to 404s crawled from docs.layer5.io.
