Closing as a duplicate of #587, which carries the same two FRED findings plus one genuine stale link.
Both FRED URLs are false positives: they return
200in well under a second from a normal network, and 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, so it re-reports them every week.The fix belongs in the action rather than in this repo. Tracked upstream in QuantEcon/action-link-checker#2, which requests an
ignore-patternsinput plus deduplication so a recurring finding updates one issue instead of opening a new one each week.The real finding in #587 is fixed in #590.
