Audit PoC links against GitHub weekly

Sampling the corpus put 17% of the repositories it links to behind a 404,
so readers were following links to repositories that no longer exist. The
previous audit script was 630 lines, never wired to anything, and kept its
state under a gitignored directory.

Replace it with a check that batches repository lookups through GraphQL
and removes a link only when GitHub answers NOT_FOUND for it, so a
throttle or a network error can never drop one. A quarter of the corpus
runs each week, which stays inside the token's hourly budget and sweeps
everything within the month.
