Remove the pull_request/push triggers from the markdown link checker so it no longer runs automatically. A single flaky external link (e.g. a CDN returning 4xx to CI runners) fails the whole job, blocking PRs and opening tracking issues for little benefit. It can still be run on demand via workflow_dispatch from the Actions tab.

Summary
Stops the markdown document link checker from running automatically. The
pull_requestandpush(**.md) triggers are removed; onlyworkflow_dispatchremains, so it can still be run on demand from the Actions tab.Why
The checker fails the entire job on any single flaky external link — e.g.
webrtchacks.com/sdp-anatomy/(linked fromCommon/docs/Protocol.md) returns200for normal clients but a Cloudflare bot-filter4xxto GitHub Actions runner IPs. That repeatedly blocked unrelated PRs and opened "Link Checker Report" issues, for little benefit relative to the noise.Behaviour
workflow_dispatch; the repository guard and issue create/close steps are unchanged.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
