## Changes 🏗️https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dd635fa1-d8ea-4e5b-b719-2c7df8e57832
Using [LaunchDarkly](https://launchdarkly.com/), introduce the concept
of "beta" blocks, which are blocks that will be disabled in production
unless enabled via a feature flag. This allows us to safely hide and
test certain blocks in production safely.
## Checklist 📋
### For code changes:
- [x] I have clearly listed my changes in the PR description
- [x] I have made a test plan
- [x] I have tested my changes according to the test plan:
- [x] Checkout and run FE locally
- [x] With the `beta-blocks` flag `disabled` in LD
- [x] Go to the builder and see **you can't** add the blocks specified
on the flag
- [x] With the `beta-blocks` flag `enabled` in LD
- [x] Go to the builder and see **you can** add the blocks specified on
the flag
### For configuration changes:
- [x] `.env.example` is updated or already compatible with my changes
🚧 We need to add the `NEXT_PUBLIC_LAUNCHDARKLY_CLIENT_ID` to the dev and
prod environments.
Github Blocks use an URL transformer passed to `Requests` to convert web
URLs to the API URLs. This doesn't always work with the anti-SSRF URL
pinning mechanism that was implemented in #8531.
### Changes 🏗️
In `Requests.request(..)`:
- Apply `validate_url` *after* `extra_url_validator`, to prevent
mismatch between `pinned_url` and `original_hostname`
- Simplify logic & add clarifying comments
