Breakpoint Edit Link in DevTools Points to permanently-removed.invalid Instead of DevTools Documentation #416

Description

When editing a breakpoint in Microsoft Edge DevTools, the documentation/help link displayed points to:

https://permanently-removed.invalid/devtools-loc

In Google Chrome DevTools, the corresponding link correctly points to:

https://goo.gle/devtools-loc

The Chrome link works and provides documentation about DevTools localization, but in Edge it's replaced with a non-working permanently-removed.invalid domain. This appears to be an overly broad URL rewriting/sanitization issue in Edge's Chromium build process — removing a valid, helpful documentation URL.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Edge DevTools (F12).
  2. Set a breakpoint in any JavaScript file.
  3. Attempt to edit the breakpoint (click the pencil/edit icon).
  4. Observe the documentation/help link shown in the breakpoint editor UI.

Expected Behavior

The link should direct users to the appropriate DevTools documentation (as it does in Chrome via goo.gle/devtools-loc).

Actual Behavior

The link points to https://permanently-removed.invalid/devtools-loc, which is unreachable.
