Looks like Snowflake URLs are failing for an unrelated page 👾 edit to add: that CI run seems to flake a lot on external URLs?

The setting key referenced here (catalogExplorer.enabled) appears inconsistent with the release notes in this repo, which refer to catalogExplorer.enable (e.g., release-notes/release-2025-11.qmd:39, release-notes/release-2025-12.qmd:42). Please confirm the correct setting name and update this link/text so users aren’t directed to a non-existent setting.

it is in fact catalogExplorer.enabled, my apologies for not recognizing that for release notes 😬

that CI run seems to flake a lot on external URLs?

You are entirely correct, but it does usually pass when run a second time. For now, we think the protection it gets us from stale links is worth re-running the CI when it is flaky. Maybe we should put the retries into the GH action itself.
