Gate your CI/CD pipeline on broken doc links

Markdown Broken Links Checker

Checks the TypeScript repo README for broken hyperlinks, images and anchors, then fails the run if any dead link is found — so you can wire it straight into a pre-deploy CI/CD step. 403 and 429 responses are treated as alive to avoid false positives from bot-blocking sites. Returns a per-link report and a SUMMARY record. Swap in your own raw Markdown URL.
