Description

Add a CI step that checks links in blog posts touched by a PR. It should use the Netlify preview URLs for the changed posts rather than crawling the full site.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Inspect the repository's existing CI workflows and Netlify preview setup first, then trace how a PR identifies changed blog posts and their preview URLs. The work is done when CI checks links only for posts touched by the PR and avoids crawling the full site.
