+/**
+ * Patch @rmdes/indiekit-endpoint-webmention-sender controller to not silently
+ * mark posts as webmention-sent when the live page fetch fails.
+ *
+ * Root cause: when a post has no stored content (likes, bookmarks, reposts),
+ * the controller tries to fetch the published URL. If the fetch fails (page not
+ * yet deployed), it marks the post as webmention-sent with empty results — and
+ * it is never retried. This patch skips those posts instead so they are picked
+ * up on the next poll once the page is live.
