# check-english-links.js returns 0 if no links are broken, and 1 if any links
# are broken. When an Actions step's exit code is 1, the action run's job status
# is failure and the run ends. The following steps create an issue for the
# broken link report only if any links are broken, so `if: ${{ failure() }}`
# ensures the steps run despite the previous step's failure of the job.
