The `home` help token returned by the Studio backend resolves to a retired readthedocs page. Override it in the help-urls thunk with the current Open edX educators quickstart URL until the backend help_tokens config is migrated. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
Fixes the broken "Getting started with Studio" link in the Studio home page sidebar. It was pointing at a retired
edx.readthedocs.iopage and now points at the current Open edX educators quickstart.Problem
The sidebar link ("New to … Studio?" → "Getting started with … Studio") gets its URL from the
homehelp token, which is served by the Studio backend (/api/contentstore/v1/help_urls, built fromcms/envs/help_tokens.ini+HELP_TOKENS_BOOKS). On this deployment that token still resolves to a retired readthedocs URL, so the link 404s.Change
Override the
hometoken in the help-urls thunk after it's fetched, so the sidebar link resolves to the working docs page:https://docs.openedx.org/en/latest/educators/quickstarts/build_a_course.htmlsrc/help-urls/data/thunks.jshometoken is only consumed by the Studio home sidebar, so the override is fully contained.help_tokensconfig todocs.openedx.org; that's a broader, backend-repo change and is noted in the comment.
