Workflow file for this run

name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
# Deployment depends on the same verify workflow CI runs, and publishes the
# artifact that workflow produced. A commit whose tests, lint, catalog
# validation or bundle budget fail cannot reach the live site — previously this
# workflow ran only `npm run build`, so a red CI run and a green deploy could
# happen from the same push.

# One deployment at a time, but never cancel one that is already running.
#
# `cancel-in-progress: true` looks right for a deploy and is not. Pages keys a
# deployment by the commit SHA, and `actions/deploy-pages` cancels its
# deployment when it is interrupted or times out — after which that SHA is
# spent. A later run for the same commit does not retry it; it is rejected
# immediately with "Deployment cancelled", and re-running the job cannot help
# because the commit is the identity. Recovering needs a *new* commit.
#
# On 2026-08-06 two merges landed four minutes apart. The second cancelled the
# first mid-deployment, which left a deployment stuck in progress; that blocked
# the next one with "due to in progress deployment", and once it was cancelled
# to clear the block, every retry of the same commit failed instantly. The site
# served a two-day-old catalog through all of it.
#
# Queued runs still collapse to the newest, which is the behaviour worth having:
# skip the middle, never interrupt the one in flight.

# Everything that gates what is about to be published, and nothing that does
# not. `site_only` drops the Expo app's job — it verifies an app this deploy
# never publishes, and its dependency check consults a remote version map, so
# it went red and skipped this deploy on four separate days without a single
# line of the site changing. See the note at the top of verify.yml.

# The action's default is ten minutes, and on 2026-08-06 every run hit
# it while Pages was still reporting `deployment_queued`. The action
# then cancels and fails — but Pages went on to publish afterwards, so
# the site was correct and current while eight consecutive deploy runs
# showed red. A job that reports failure on a deployment that
# succeeded is worse than a slow one: it is the freshness alert's
# third failure mode inverted, and a permanently red deploy is one
# nobody reads when it finally means something.
#
# Ten minutes is the action's ceiling, not its default — asking for
# more is accepted, warned about, and ignored:
#
# Warning: timeout value is greater than the allowed maximum -
# timeout set to the maximum of 600000 milliseconds.
#
# So the wait cannot be extended, and on a slow morning this step will
# fail while Pages goes on to publish. That makes its verdict
# unreliable in one direction only, which the next step settles by
# reading the site.

# The deployment is what the visitor gets, so that is what decides whether
# this job passed. The step above reports on its own timer; this one reads
# `generatedAt` off the live catalog and compares it with the artifact just
# built. A slow-but-successful deploy goes green, a genuinely failed one
# still goes red, and neither depends on how long Pages happened to take.
