Tough problem. The log does not contain any helpful info. Locally, bazel run //:docs_check executes successfully for me.

I'm always weary of changing the runffiles thing, we had such big issues with that in the past.
It might have unintended consequences though things seem to work well and pass the tests.

You are probably right to be weary. I thought it was ready because the workflows were green and thought some change on main fixed the underlying issue but it seems it did not. I tried a local build and it still fails.

But what to do with that? We are still incompatible and I still have no idea what could be the issue because the error messages are not helpful. Is our toolchain maybe too complex and we should re-think the complete approach?
