Adds a MegaLinter configuration to stop Lychee (URL checking) from scanning GitHub Actions workflow files, reducing false-positive link failures from placeholders and runtime-only endpoints.
Changes:
- Introduced a repository-level
.mega-linter.ymlconfiguration file. - Configured Lychee to exclude
.github/workflows/from URL checks.
