Relative API reference link
Medium Severity
The create-a-browser link was changed from an absolute https://www.kernel.sh/docs/api-reference/... URL to a relative /api-reference/ path. API reference pages are generated from the remote OpenAPI spec and are not local MDX files, so relative /api-reference/ links fail mint broken-links.

Overview
Adds a “Request more video memory” section to
gpu-accelerationdocs covering the3GiBdefault vs6GiBlarge tier (vCPU/RAM), TS/Python/Go/CLI examples,video_memoryrules (requiresgpu: true, ties systemmemory, SDK 0.141.0+), deprecated2GiB/4GiBaliases, 2× billing for the large tier, and HTTP 529 /no_gpu_browsers_availablewhen large-tier capacity is exhausted (no fallback).Updates the whole-session memory guidance in
process-executionto note GPU defaults (6GiB/12GiBwith large video memory), fixes sentence case, switches the create-browser link to a relative path, and cross-links to the new video-memory section.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit bed735f.
