ci(validate-docs): ignore LinkedIn URLs in link check#35
Merged
Conversation
LinkedIn returns 404 for unauthenticated HTTP fetches as part of its anti-scraping defense, even when the profile exists and is publicly accessible in a browser. The README's author byline link to https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiradeepchhaya/ now triggers a flake-prone "dead link" failure on every PR. Add LinkedIn to the markdown-link-check ignore list — same treatment already applied to manage.auth0.com (auth-walled) and claude.ai (rate-limited).

Problem
LinkedIn returns 404 for unauthenticated HTTP fetches (anti-scraping defense), even when the profile exists. The README's author byline link to `https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiradeepchhaya/\` now triggers a flake-prone "dead link" failure on every PR's Link Check job.
Fix
Add `^https://(www\.)?linkedin\.com` to the markdown-link-check ignore list — same treatment already applied to `manage.auth0.com` (auth-walled) and `claude.ai` (rate-limited).
