[docs-scanner] Broken anchor link to idle states in Docker Offload settings #25591

Description

@docker-agent

File: content/manuals/desktop/settings-and-maintenance/settings.md

Issue

The Docker Offload settings table contains a broken anchor link. The "Idle timeout" setting description says:

Set the duration of time between no activity and Docker Offload entering idle mode. For details about idle timeout, see Active and idle states.

However, the file content/manuals/offload/configuration.md does not contain a section titled "Active and idle states" or an anchor #understand-active-and-idle-states. The configuration.md file only contains basic setup instructions and doesn't explain idle states at all.

The actual content about idle states is located in content/manuals/offload/about.md under the heading "Session management and idle state" (line 69).

Why this matters

A reader trying to understand what "idle timeout" means will click the link expecting to learn about active and idle states. Instead, they'll land on a configuration page that doesn't contain the promised information. This breaks the user's flow and leaves them without the context they need to configure the idle timeout setting appropriately.

Suggested fix

Change the link from:

[Active and idle states](../../offload/configuration.md#understand-active-and-idle-states)

To:

[Session management and idle state](../../offload/about.md#session-management-and-idle-state)

Or if you prefer to keep the link text as "Active and idle states", update it to:

[Active and idle states](../../offload/about.md#session-management-and-idle-state)
