Netlify app auto-build fails on PRs (duplicate of the workflow's CLI preview deploy) #49

Description

Summary

The Netlify GitHub App's automatic build of this site (beautiful-dodol-cb9543) fails, putting four red ✗ checks on PRs (Header rules, Pages changed, Redirect rules, netlify/.../deploy-preview) even when the real build is green. Observed on #48, where it failed twice on independent runs, so it is not transient:

Why this is noise, not breakage

So the app's auto-build duplicates what the workflow already does, on Netlify's own build infrastructure — and that duplicate is what fails. The failure surfaced with #48 (theme repointed to the quantecon-theme.mystmd v2.1.0 release zip); the same app check passed on #45 (June 5). Plausible causes for the app build specifically: Netlify build-image Node version too old for the v2.1.0 theme's install, or its dashboard-configured build command failing on the release-URL template fetch — the deploy logs (dashboard access required) will say.

Options

  1. (Recommended) Disable the Netlify app's automatic builds in the dashboard (Site configuration → Build & deploy → Stop builds), keeping the site as a CLI deploy target for the workflow. Removes the duplicate build and the red ✗s; nothing else changes.
  2. Keep the app builds and fix the dashboard build settings (Node version / build command) using the failed deploy logs above.

Either way the decision/config lives in the Netlify dashboard, not this repo — filing here for visibility and tracking.

Context

The repoint itself is #48, part of the theme's Phase 0 release modernisation (QuantEcon/quantecon-theme.mystmd PLAN.md).
