Branch Survey

Suggested branch: fix/lint-lychee-exclude-blob (task lint-lychee-exclude-blob)

Implementation Steps

1. PyAutoPulse/.github/workflows/lint.yml: add --exclude '^https://github\.com/.*/blob/' \ after the raw.githubusercontent exclude; extend the header comment item 4 with "github.com blob pages (GitHub serves 503 to non-browser page views; a token does not help)".
2. PyAutoEyes/.github/workflows/lint.yml: same exclude line.
3. python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(...))" on both.

  Witness: lint workflow green on PyAutoPulse main and on the PyAutoEyes PR; lychee output shows the five github.com/.../blob/... links as Excluded, not Errors

Context

lint.yml in PyAutoPulse (merged 2026-10-02 in PyAutoPulse#2) and in PyAutoEyes runs lychee over
the prose markdown. On 2026-10-02 every https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/blob/<ref>/<file> URL
returned 503 Service Unavailable to any non-browser client (curl/lychee, any User-Agent,
from Actions and from a laptop; cpython's own README too) while githubstatus.com reported all
systems operational — GitHub's page-view bot protection, not API rate limiting. PyAutoPulse#2
lint failed twice on five such links; PyAutoEyes main lint failed the same way at 10:57 after
passing at 10:56. Passing GITHUB_TOKEN to lychee (--github-token, PyAutoPulse commit
b2d4a595) did not help: the post-merge lint on PyAutoPulse main still 503'd on the identical
set. PyAutoPulse main is therefore red on lint.

Task

1. PyAutoPulse .github/workflows/lint.yml: add --exclude '^https://github\.com/.*/blob/'
   to the lychee invocation (next to the existing issues/pull/commit/releases exclude). Keep the
   GITHUB_TOKEN env (harmless; still helps API-resolvable links). Update the header comment
   (step 4 of the workflow's numbered list) to say why blob pages are excluded.
2. PyAutoEyes .github/workflows/lint.yml: the same exclude line.
3. No prose edits: the links stay in the markdown (they are correct for humans); only the
   link-rot gate stops fetching them.

Out of scope

Replacing the links with raw.githubusercontent.com / Pages URLs; any lychee version pin.

Ship policy

Supervised: corrective PRs, end at PR-open, merge human (/prm). PyAutoPulse first (it is the
red main), Eyes independent.
