Eight cloud.google.com documentation links across 7 skills return 404 #206

Description

@ayobamiseun

A link check across all skill markdown files found 8 unique cloud.google.com documentation URLs that return HTTP 404 (verified twice, following redirects). These appear in the "references"/further-reading sections that agents and users are directed to. In each case a current working page exists — the docs have moved.
