✅ Automated URL checking

Add an automated URL checker to run once per week. Subscribe to the action to get notifications.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to subscribe to an Action:

How do you view the URL(s) that failed? I can only see successful ones with [ OK ] in the log and then the failed message with no prior URL:

@thisiskeithb error show up in there, but they are hard to spot. It would be nice if they were captured in a list and summarized at the end.

Ah, I misunderstood the script and assumed it'd stop after finding a bad URL.

As for "subscribing" to an Action per the Notifications for workflow runs page:

Notifications for scheduled workflows are sent to the user who initially created the workflow. If a different user updates the cron syntax in the workflow file, subsequent notifications will be sent to that user instead.

This will be a thinkyhead-only notification, so it might be better to bump the timeline out to once a month and someone on the team can manually check the logs each time it runs so the workload is spread out.

…or have the script create a new Issue with a list of bad URLs?

Automate all the things!

One "weird" way to get a notification would be to have the action add a comment to an existing issue, then anyone could subscribe to the issue. Might be worth exploring. I'll see if it can add a comment to this issue, for a start.
