I have also checked the variable `Info-directory-list`, and see the
following entry in it:

"/home/werner/.emacs.d/straight/build/auctex/"

Then I checked the doc directory as shown below:

$ ls /home/werner/.emacs.d/straight/build/auctex/doc/
auctex.info    history.texi         preview-faq.texi       tex-ref.pdf
auctex.info-1  install.texi         preview-latex.info     tex-ref.tex
auctex.info-2  intro.texi           preview-latex.texi     todo.texi
auctex.texi    macros.texi          preview-problems.texi  version.texi
changes.texi   Makefile             preview-readme.texi    wininstall.texi
copying.texi   Makefile.in          preview-todo.texi
faq.texi       preview-dtxdoc.pl    quickstart.texi
fdl.texi       preview-dtxdoc.texi  tex-ref.log
