Subject: [PATCH] docs(start): fix broken routing-side guide link in
 authentication primitives

The "routing-side guide" links in the Authentication Server Primitives guide
used a relative path (`../../../../router/guide/authenticated-routes.md`).
While that resolves as a file path, it renders to an invalid site URL
(`/start/latest/router/guide/authenticated-routes`) and 404s.

Use the absolute cross-project doc path that the rest of the docs already use
for Router links, e.g. `/router/latest/docs/framework/react/guide/authenticated-routes`.

Closes #7701

-This guide covers the **server-side primitives** for building authentication in TanStack Start: session cookies, session lookup, OAuth, password-reset hardening, CSRF, and rate limiting. It pairs with the [routing-side guide](../../../../router/guide/authenticated-routes.md) (`_authenticated` layout, `beforeLoad`, redirects, RBAC).

 If you can use a managed solution like [Clerk](https://go.clerk.com/wOwHtuJ) or [WorkOS](https://workos.com/), prefer that — they handle most of what this guide describes. Read on if you're rolling your own.
