Description

I recently submitted PR #2234 in relation to removing two entries from data/clients.json whose authors have archived their respective repos.

But this got me thinking that there is clearly scope here to avoid this problem in the future, your CI/CD could/should check clients.json for archived repos. It should not be really left to humans to clean it up.

Research direction

Start with data/clients.json and inspect the repository's existing CI/CD configuration, using PR #2234 for context on the archived-client cleanup. Define a check that detects archived client repositories and verify that CI reports the condition clearly; done means stale entries cannot pass unnoticed.
