Update InfluxDB 3 table index cache documentation and fix Enterprise CLI broken link

[Copilot]

Updates the documentation for InfluxDB 3 table index cache configuration options to match the actual CLI help text and fixes a broken link in the Enterprise CLI documentation.

Configuration Changes

table-index-cache-max-entries

• Fixed default value: Changed from 1000 to 100 to match CLI help text
• Enhanced description: Now explains that this setting "specifies the maximum number of table indices to cache in memory" and "helps manage older snapshot/parquet files for retention purposes and improves database startup performance for longer-running databases"
• Added important usage note: Documents that setting to 0 enables unlimited cache size

table-index-cache-concurrency-limit

• Fixed default value: Changed from 8 to 20 to match CLI help text
• Enhanced description: Now explains that this setting "limits the maximum number of concurrent operations between the table index cache and object store" and "controls how many parallel requests can be made to object storage when loading or updating table indices"

Link Checker Fix

Fixed a broken link where the Enterprise CLI documentation incorrectly referenced --buffer-mem-limit-mb with a link to the Enterprise config options page. The buffer-mem-limit-mb option is only available in InfluxDB 3 Core (properly scoped with {{% show-in "core" %}} shortcodes), so the fragment #buffer-mem-limit-mb doesn't exist on the Enterprise config options page.

Fixed: Removed --buffer-mem-limit-mb from /influxdb3/enterprise/reference/cli/influxdb3/serve.md while keeping it in the Core CLI documentation where it belongs.

These configuration options are "behind the scenes" settings that help manage database performance, particularly for retention purposes and database startup optimization with longer-running databases.

Fixes #6301.

@copilot Add documentation for the flag in content/influxdb3/{enterprise,core}/reference/.

The documentation for the table-index-cache flags is already available in both content/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/config-options.md and content/influxdb3/core/reference/config-options.md. Both files use source: /shared/influxdb3-cli/config-options.md, so they automatically include the updated table-index-cache documentation from commit 34713b3.

The updated documentation appears in both enterprise and core with the corrected default values (100 and 20) and enhanced descriptions explaining their purpose for managing snapshot/parquet files and database startup performance.

@copilot The link-check check fails:

Error: Broken link: file:///home/runner/work/docs-v2/docs-v2/public/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/config-options/index.html#buffer-mem-limit-mb - Cannot find fragment

That link should only show in Core, not Enterprise.

Fixed the broken link issue in commit 309e26c. The problem was that the Enterprise CLI documentation (/influxdb3/enterprise/reference/cli/influxdb3/serve.md) incorrectly included a reference to --buffer-mem-limit-mb with a link to the Enterprise config options page. However, the buffer-mem-limit-mb section is only available in Core (wrapped in {{% show-in "core" %}} shortcodes), so the fragment #buffer-mem-limit-mb doesn't exist on the Enterprise config options page.

The fix removes the --buffer-mem-limit-mb entry from the Enterprise CLI documentation while keeping it in the Core CLI documentation where it belongs.

@copilot "TOC" (table of contents) are the anchor elements at the top of the page that link to link fragments (for section headings) inside the page--for example:

<li><a href="#buffer-mem-limit-mb">--buffer-mem-limit-mb</a></li>
