Research direction

Locate the documentation configuration containing the linkcheck builder and linkcheck_ignore snippet, then inspect how the existing entire_domain and GitHub URL entries are used. Update the default ignore list for GitHub links and run the available linkcheck or documentation checks to confirm those links are ignored.
