LinkedIn has no public API for follower counts, and the Marketing
Developer Platform needs an approved app plus OAuth tokens that expire,
which is a lot of machinery for one number. The logged-out company page
does carry the count, so read it from there.
It is scraped, so it is fragile in two ways: the markup can change, and
LinkedIn serves an auth wall to some datacentre ranges, which GitHub
Actions runners are. Both are handled by writing nothing rather than
failing — the collector catches its own errors and the combiner already
skips fields whose file is absent, so a blocked run loses this number
and nothing else. The regex deliberately ignores abbreviated counts like
"10K followers": no number beats a wrong one.
