Description

Problem Description

Our CI checks links in our docs using unbroken. For some reason, working Pluralsight links keep reporting failure.

Steps To Reproduce

Failed build log line: https://dev.azure.com/ms/react-native-windows/_build/results?buildId=232329&view=logs&j=c91ffb0c-93c6-5124-b5e5-2d77344377c2&t=1b2d5bd1-20f5-5a7b-1ec2-ef2ad101a8b1&l=14

Research direction

Start with the linked Azure build log and inspect how the documentation CI uses unbroken to check Pluralsight links. Reproduce the reported 403 for a working Pluralsight URL, then identify the relevant checker configuration or entry point. Done means the link is checked successfully or the false failure is clearly handled and verified in CI.
