FIX: update GitHub pull requests doc link to final destination (#590)
mmcky commentedon Aug 3, 2026
The genuine finding here — the stale GitHub docs URL in
lectures/workspace.md— is fixed and merged in #590.The two FRED links reported as broken are false positives and need no change in this repo. Both return
200in well under a second from a normal network; the0 (Timeout)status is FRED throttling GitHub Actions runner IPs. They are already whitelisted for Sphinx inlectures/_config.ymlunderlinkcheck_ignore, but the link checker scans built HTML and never sees that configuration.The durable fix belongs in the action. Tracked upstream in QuantEcon/action-link-checker#2, which requests an
ignore-patternsinput plus deduplication so a recurring finding updates one issue rather than opening a new one each week. Duplicates #555, #556, #559, #564, #565, #567, #571 and #583 were closed in favour of this one.Note that until that upstream change lands, the weekly cron will keep filing this report — and it will grow to four FRED links once a release includes the Polars lecture, which carries the same URL.
