  • Remove blanket HTTP 403 acceptance from lychee config, which was masking genuinely dead links (e.g., make.com/en/integrations/apify-instagram-scraper).
  • Add --max-redirects 5 to properly follow redirects instead of reporting 302 as errors.
  • Add bot-blocking domains (soundcloud.com, fandom.com, remax.com.tr) to .lycheeignore to avoid false positives from sites that return 403 to non-browser clients.
