Draft
Conversation
Add a weekly scheduled workflow that builds the full published site (all versions) and runs lychee to detect dead external links, opening a link-rot issue when any are found. - .github/workflows/link-check.yml: weekly cron + manual dispatch - .lychee.toml: checker config (resolves root-relative links via base_url, excludes the tiny.cloud family and localhost, accepts redirects and 429) - .lycheeignore: curated hosts that block automated checkers but resolve in a browser - package.json: check-links script for local use - .gitignore: ignore the local lychee cache and report output

Ticket: TINYDOC-3514
What this does
Adds a weekly scheduled link check (Mondays 06:00 UTC, plus manual dispatch). Builds the full production site — all four published versions — and runs lychee over the built HTML.
Findings go to a single rolling
link-rotissue: the body is refreshed each run, and the issue closes automatically once a run comes back clean.Layer 1 of 2 — the PR-time check is #4277.
Validation
.lycheeignoretook it from 446 errors to 9 (7 distinct), all genuine rot —archive.tinymce.com(×2),gsuite.google.com,dropbox.com/guide/business,ietf.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt,addons.mozilla.org, andmysite.com/tinymce.html(a placeholder rendered as a live link, so it needs a content fix rather than an ignore entry). Content follow-up, not blockers here.stackoverflow.com(403),graylog.org(403),tinymcedocs.mcp.kapa.ai(405 — an MCP endpoint, not a page).exit_codeconfirmed as a declared output oflychee-action@v2, so the reporting conditions fire.link-rotlabel created.Not yet verified: the rolling-issue logic cannot run until this is on
main, becauseworkflow_dispatchonly fires from the default branch. Dispatch it manually straight after merge to confirm the first real run.
