Heads-up: the anchor targets here won't resolve either — the hyphens are missing.

CONTRIBUTING.md doesn't use regular spaces. It uses U+00A0 (NBSP) as its word separator throughout — 1405 of them against 433 real spaces — and 29 of the file's 35 headings contain them. ## Ways to Contribute is really ## Ways<NBSP>to<NBSP>Contribute.

GitHub strips NBSP when generating the anchor instead of turning it into a hyphen, so the real ids have no hyphens. On the rendered page today:

## Ways to Contribute  ->  #waystocontribute   (not #ways-to-contribute)
## Review Process      ->  #reviewprocess
## Code of Conduct     ->  #codeofconduct

Visible directly at
https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md — the permalink href on a heading is #waystocontribute.

Contrast with README.md in this same repo: 0 NBSP, and its anchors do carry hyphens (#key-features, #quick-start). Same renderer, so NBSP is the only variable.

Of the 18 links changed here, 14 still 404 once this merges. The ones that work are #community, #license, #recognition and LICENSE — single-word anchors have no space to lose.

Second thing: the two CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md links point at a file that does not exist. There is no Code of Conduct anywhere in the repo — it is not in the root listing, code search returns 0, and

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MemTensor/MemOS/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md   -> 404

So line 432's "See our Code of Conduct for the reporting email" cannot be satisfied by a link at all; either that file gets added, or the sentence needs rewording.

For the anchors there are two ways out:

(a) point them at the ids that actually exist (#waystocontribute, #beforeyoustart, ...) — small diff, works today, but fragile, since normalizing the NBSPs later would break them all again;
(b) replace the NBSPs in the headings with regular spaces, after which the normal hyphenated anchors work — touches more of the file, but removes the cause. It would also fix this file's plain-text search and copy behaviour, which the NBSPs currently corrupt.

Happy to send (b) as a separate patch if that is the direction you want.
