Link checker was experiencing transient timeouts on open-std.org PDF links. Configure lychee with retry logic and extended timeout to handle flaky upstream servers.

Changes

  • Added --max-retries 3 flag to retry failed links before marking as timeout
  • Added --timeout 30 flag (increased from default 20s) for slow-responding servers
args: --verbose --no-progress --accept 200,201,202,203,204,206,429 --max-retries 3 --timeout 30 '**/*.md' '**/*.rst'

Eliminates false positives from temporary network issues without requiring manual workflow re-runs.

- Add --max-retries 3 to retry failed links up to 3 times
- Add --timeout 30 to increase timeout from default to 30 seconds
- This should handle temporary failures and slow responses from open-std.org
