What's Changing
In the Actions workflow that runs the link checker, Chrome is now explicitly installed in an earlier step.
I fixed a buggy URL in the Action's Slack notification step while I was at it.
Why
There's an open issue UmbrellaDocs/action-linkspector#62 that has not been addressed which is causing our link checker jobs to fail.
Details
As I understand it, linkspector uses Puppeteer to drive a headless Chrome browser through which it checks links. It seems the Puppeteer reference inside linkspector's dependency tree may be floating such that it now points at a Chrome version different than whatever Chrome has been getting provisioned on the Runner.
