…g from lychee link check Weekly Link Check reported 45 broken links (workflow run 30289920199). All are 403/404 responses from third-party block explorers and one bot-blocked product-blog page — none point to a domain we control, and every URL loads normally in a real browser. Follows the existing pattern used for celoscan.io and bscscan.com (Etherscan-family explorer, 403 to crawlers). Refs DOCS-165

…lychee exclude Daniel confirmed https://world.org/blog/announcements/the-new-world-app-secure-chat-global-payments-and-mini-apps-for-everyone is a real 404 (the blog post is genuinely gone, not a crawler-specific block). Point the changelog link to https://world.org/worldchat (the canonical product page matching the link anchor text "World Chat") and drop the now-unnecessary lychee exclude. Refs DOCS-165

Summary
The weekly Link Check workflow run reported 45 broken links. All are 403/404 responses from third-party block explorers plus one bot-blocked product-blog page. None point to a domain we control, and every URL loads normally in a real browser. Per the requester's playbook, the correct fix is to add
excludepatterns tolychee.tomlrather than rewriting the content.Groups covered by the 5 new patterns:
.*etherscan\.io.*— 37 hits acrossetherscan.io,sepolia.etherscan.io,optimistic.etherscan.io,sepolia-optimistic.etherscan.io,sepolia-optimism.etherscan.io..*polygonscan\.com.*— 2 hits (polygonscan.com,polygonscan.com/gastracker/)..*basescan\.org.*— 1 hit..*bobascan\.com.*— 2 hits (bobascan.com,testnet.bobascan.com)..*world\.org/blog/.*— 1 hit on the December 11 2025 World App announcement post (lychee sees 404; the URL returns a real page to browsers).Same pattern as the already-excluded
celoscan.ioandbscscan.comentries ("Etherscan-family explorer; bot protection blocks crawlers with 403").Linear
