Description

Audits and updates outdated pre-merger references in contributor-facing documentation.

This is part of the Cacti Cleanup Initiative (goal #4: Improve documentation).

Changes (5 files, 30 lines)

  • CONTRIBUTING.md — Fixed fork URL (hyperledger/cactihyperledger-cacti/cacti), upstream remote URL, and Code of Conduct link
  • docs/docs/cactus/contributing.md — Updated 17 outdated references: repo URLs, issue template links, fork/clone instructions, and project naming (Cactus → Cacti)
  • docs/docs/cactus/build.md — Fixed clone URL, directory name, and 11 Cactus → Cacti naming references
  • CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md & docs/docs/cactus/code-of-conduct.md — Updated Code of Conduct links from defunct wiki.hyperledger.org to current LF Decentralized Trust governance docs

Audit Summary

Found 689 references to the old hyperledger/cactus repository URL across markdown files. This PR addresses the contributor-facing subset — the files new contributors read first. Additional cleanup PRs can follow for package-level and Weaver docs.

Not Changed (intentionally)

  • @hyperledger/cactus-* npm package names (still valid published package names)
  • CHANGELOG.md (historical record)
  • Blog posts (historical context)

Anything in this directory is archived documentation. I'll suggest keep it as it is.

Agreed. I would even suggest to remove the archived documentation (it will stay in git history and it is no longer up-to-date)

This PR supersedes and replaces hyperledger-cacti#4197.

As discussed in the original PR's review by @sandeepnRES and @RafaelAPB, updating the documentation inside docs/docs/cactus/ is unnecessary as it is archived and outdated.

To resolve this cleanly, I have:
1. Retained @abhigyan1102's URL and naming fixes for the root level CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
2. Completely removed the deprecated docs/docs/cactus/ directory to prevent future contributor confusion.

The original author has been credited via the Co-authored-by tag for their fixes.

Fixes hyperledger-cacti#4197
