Following the work in #4087, I have decided to investigate possible issues with going further, towards Sphinx 9+ and docutils 0.22+. The following are extracts from the errors failing the build process (tested on Sphinx 9.1.0 and docutils 0.22.4). I have error logs with full tracebacks and more details available if needed.
Errors
peps/pep-0554.rst:29: (ERROR/3) Indirect hyperlink target (id="concurrency") refers to target "concurrency", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a unique reference.peps/pep-0683.rst:476: (ERROR/3) Indirect hyperlink target (id="documentation") refers to target "documentation", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a unique reference.peps/pep-0426.rst:748: (ERROR/3) Duplicate target name, cannot be used as a unique reference: "extras".peps/pep-0653.rst:722: (WARNING/2) Footnote content expected.peps/pep-0827.rst:1963: (WARNING/2) Footnote content expected.peps/pep-0697.rst:250: (ERROR/3) Indirect hyperlink target (id="reference-implementation") refers to target "reference implementation", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a unique reference.peps/pep-0791.rst:163: (ERROR/3) Indirect hyperlink target (id="id1") refers to target "motivation", which is a duplicate, and cannot be used as a unique reference.
All of those errors are coming from docutils, not from Sphinx, but they are hard-failing the parallel Sphinx builds.
