Research direction
Start by locating the unbroken configuration or CI entry point used to check npmjs.com URLs in this repository. Reproduce the 403 behavior from GitHub CI or Microsoft's network context, then determine how the check should handle these false positives. Done means documentation checks no longer block on affected npmjs.com URLs.

Description
When queried npmjs.com URLs are queried from GitHub CI machines or from Microsoft's network (perhaps behind its proxies) fail with 403 Forbidden Request. Trying to add enough headers don't help too

These URLs are deemed broken by unbroken, thereby leading to documentation fixing PRs getting blocked due to these false positives.
