Deploy Documentation has failed all 145 runs since it was added — enable Pages or delete the workflow

What was found

.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml runs on every push to main that touches
docs/** or README.md. It has never succeeded, in 145 runs over more than
seven months.

Sampled across the whole history — every sample failure:

run	date	commit	conclusion
#1	2026-01-26	`f587ca71` (the Copilot PR that added the workflow)	failure
#74	2026-07-24	`78aaaa98`	failure
#138–#143	2026-09-06	six consecutive merges	failure
#144	2026-09-07 14:26	`6d9fd0a4` (PR #1740)	failure

Total runs: 145. No sampled run succeeded.

Root cause — one step, unchanged since January

The job dies at step 3 of 6, Setup Pages (actions/configure-pages@v5), in
about 5 seconds:

##[error]Get Pages site failed. Please verify that the repository has Pages
enabled and configured to build using GitHub Actions, or consider exploring the
`enablement` parameter for this action.
Error: Not Found - https://docs.github.com/rest/pages/pages#get-a-apiname-pages-site

GitHub Pages is not enabled on this repository, and enablement: false is what
the action resolves. Steps 4, 5 and 6 (Create documentation site,
Upload artifact, Deploy to GitHub Pages) are skipped on every run and have
therefore never executed once.

Two facts worth having before ruling

1. A previous repair was made to a step that has never run. The workflow
carries this comment above step 4:

# QUICKSTART.md and PROJECT_SUMMARY.md were copied here unguarded and
# have never existed in this repo, so every triggering push failed the
# deploy. `docs/` is copied without `|| true` for the same reason: if
# the documentation tree vanishes we want to hear about it.

That diagnosis named a real bug, but it was not the reason the deploy failed —
the job never reaches step 4. The fix is untested by construction and remains
untested today. This is the same failure mode ADR-0049 is about: a declared
thing that is not enforced, so nothing tells you it is wrong.

2. If Pages were enabled, what ships is a redirect back to GitHub. Step 4
writes _site/index.html as a full-page <meta http-equiv="refresh"> to
https://github.com/objectstack-ai/hotcrm#readme. It also copies README.md to
_site/index.md and the whole of docs/. into _site/ — but the index.html
takes precedence for a visitor, so the published site's front door is a gradient
splash that bounces the reader straight back to the repository they came from.
No static-site generator, no nav, no rendering of the copied markdown.

Why this is yours and not a seat's

Both options need something a seat cannot do or should not decide:

Enabling GitHub Pages is a repository setting (Settings → Pages → Source:
GitHub Actions). No agent seat can flip it.
Deleting the workflow is a product decision — whether HotCRM should
publish a documentation site at all.

Options

	option	what it means for the business
A	Delete the workflow	The reference app stops pretending to publish a docs site. `main` stops carrying a permanent red check. Cost: nothing, today — the site has never existed, so no reader loses anything. If a published docs site is wanted later it is a fresh, designed piece of work, not a resurrection of this file.
B	Enable Pages, keep the workflow	You get a published site at `objectstack-ai.github.io/hotcrm` — whose landing page immediately redirects visitors back to the GitHub README. To be worth anything it then needs step 4 rewritten to actually render `docs/**`, which is a real piece of work and the first time steps 4–6 would ever run.
C	*Enable Pages and* rewrite the site step**	The only option that ends with a docs site a reader benefits from. Largest scope: pick a generator, decide the information architecture, handle the four locales `docs/` carries.

Recommendation

A — delete it.

The project is at the startup stage and the standing ruling is to focus on core
capability (2026-08-04) and not to invest in gradual/incremental work while the
user count is small (2026-08-27). A docs site whose only shipped behaviour would
be a redirect back to GitHub is not core capability. HotCRM's documentation is
already read where it lives — in the repository, which is the whole premise of
"business logic under 100k tokens, small enough to hand an agent in one context
window".

Deleting also removes a standing false signal: a red check on main that
everyone has learned to ignore is worse than no check, because it trains readers
to ignore red.

Fallback if A is wrong: if you do want a public docs URL for
customer-facing or marketing reasons, rule C, not B. B buys the URL and
nothing behind it.

Confidence gap: I did not check whether anything outside this repository
links to objectstack-ai.github.io/hotcrm. Since the site has never been
published, any such link is already broken, but if one exists in marketing
material that changes which option you want.

After the ruling

A → a seat deletes .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml in a small PR. Not
governed, so it can land through the queue normally.
B → you flip the Pages setting; the next docs/** push proves it.
C → this card becomes the parent for a designed docs-site change.

Found while following PR #1740 to merge (director seat, 2026-09-07). The failure
is not caused by #1740 or #1739 — it predates both by seven months and fires
on any push touching docs/**; #1740 touched docs/STATUS.md, which is why it
surfaced now.

决策箱勤务:补四棱卡面块 · ⛔ 本席不改卡片正文,⛔ 不代裁

repo:hotcrm 执行席 · session session_019YKN9TPqDSSXUaYqp2j7MZ · R55,2026-09-07T15:0xZ。

⚠️ 本卡由总监席(os-zhuang)立,证据、三选项、推荐与"裁后动作"都齐,⭐ 还自报了一个置信缺口(没查外部是否有链接指向 objectstack-ai.github.io/hotcrm)——那一条本席同样没查,原样留着。

⛔ 缺的只有一样:四棱卡面块。 它是四维决策框架在卡面上的序列化,也是分诊代裁置信门的输入,按「决策卡落卡必带四棱块」补在这里。⛔ 本席不裁本卡:选项 B / C 是功能新增,A 是删除一个已声明能力,三条都在人工地板上;且本席跑在默认判断档,置信门第 ⑤ 条(档位硬门)本就不达。

四棱卡面

① 实际业务需求 —— 零,而且是实测的零

⭐ 这一轴罕见地不需要推断:这个工作流的步骤 4、5、6 从未执行过一次,145 次运行、七个多月,每次都死在步骤 3。⇒ 那个"文档站"从来不存在,所以 ⛔ 没有任何读者会因为删掉它而失去什么。

⚠️ 反向也要说清楚:也没有实测证据表明有人想要它。判据要求实测而非"读起来像有用",而这里连一次成功发布都没有可供观察。

② 项目长远合理性 —— 指向 A

⭐ 卡片挖出的那条事实是本轴的关键:有人修过一个从未运行过的步骤(步骤 4 里 QUICKSTART.md / PROJECT_SUMMARY.md 的注释)。那次修复在构造上无法被验证,今天依然未被验证。⇒ 这正是 ADR-0049 讲的形状:声明了但没有强制,于是没有任何东西告诉你它是错的。

⛔ 选项 B 把这个形状保留下来并给它一个 URL —— 声明面扩大,兑现面仍旧为零。契约优先 / no workarounds 下,B 是四个选项里唯一让情况变更不诚实的。

③ 防 AI 写代码犯错 —— 决定性,而且理由不在文档站上

⭐ 真正的代价不是缺一个站点,是 main 上有一道恒红的检查,而所有人都学会了忽略它。

对本仓尤其贵:它是「AI 写企业软件」的参考实现,它的门禁行为本身就是展品的一部分。一个训练读者(和 agent)忽略红色的仓库,教的正是本平台声称要消灭的习惯。⛔ 恒红比无检查更差,因为它消耗的是红色这个信号的可信度。

⇒ 本轴要求声明面与兑现面重合:A(删掉声明)与 C(兑现声明)都满足,⛔ B 单独不满足。

④ 创业阶段不扩散需求 —— 强烈指向 A

维护者 2026-08-04:「我们是一个创业项目,应该先专注于核心能力」· 2026-08-27:「项目在创业阶段,用户也很少,短期不考虑渐进。」

A 是减面:删一个文件。
B 是"渐进"的教科书形态 —— 先买 URL,内容以后再说。⭐ 2026-08-27 的裁决恰好点名拒绝这种分阶段形状。
C 是真实的多周程序(选生成器、定信息架构、处理 docs/ 的四个 locale),需要 appetite。

⇒ 零拉动 ⇒ 荐不扩散。

四棱结论:①零实测拉动 · ②指向 A · ③排除 B · ④强烈指向 A。⇒ 四棱同向 A,与总监席的推荐一致,⛔ 但四棱同向不构成放行 —— 它在人工地板上(删除已声明能力 / 功能新增),置信门第 ② 条与第 ⑤ 条各自独立地挡住代裁。

⭐ 并且卡片自己给的回退序是对的:若你要一个公开文档 URL,裁 C 而非 B —— B 买到的是 URL,后面没有东西。

你要做的

回一个字母:A、B 还是 C。(A 之后由本席派一张小 PR 删掉 .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml,非治理面,走常规队列。)

Ruling recorded — option A: delete the workflow (director seat, decision batch #80, 2026-09-08)

Maintainer's reply, verbatim (live PM chat, 2026-09-08T00:1xZ; this card was presented in chat on 2026-09-07 ~14:30 with recommendation A and carried into batch #80):

其他同意

⇒ .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml is deleted. It has never succeeded in 145 runs (step 3, actions/configure-pages@v5, fails because Pages is not enabled; steps 4–6 have never executed), and the site it would publish is a full-page redirect back to the GitHub README. A published docs site, if ever wanted, is a fresh designed piece of work, not a resurrection of this file.

Not governed (.github/workflows/** is not in hotcrm's governed set), so the PR lands through the queue normally. The change is one file deletion plus a changeset.

Label: needs-user-decision → pm:queue. ⛔ Not dispatched by this seat.

✅ 三条腿本席已跑(`origin/main` @ `ebb67fe9`,2026-09-08T00:3xZ)

动作面 — ⛔ 无在飞 PR 触 .github/workflows/。
卡引用面 — ruling 已录(batch #80)。本卡是 PR #1740 落地跟进时由总监席发现的,与 #1739 / #1740 无因果关系(它比两者早七个月)。
工作项面 — ⭐ 本席实测:.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml 仍在(2565 bytes)。全仓引用 deploy-docs 的只有两处:它自己,以及 CHANGELOG.md(历史发布条目)。

Zone 1 — rulings (immovable)

⭐ 已裁 A:删除 .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml。 ⛔ 不得改成"修好它"、⛔ 不得只禁用触发条件。整个文件删掉。
⛔⛔ CHANGELOG.md 里那处 deploy-docs 引用 ⛔ 一个字都不许动。 它是已发布的历史条目,而本仓刚刚(changeset version silently rewrites four lines of the published 3.0.0 release notes — prettier is ON by default and mangles forecast_category into forecast*category #1602 / fix(changesets): stop re-formatting release notes that already shipped #1739)裁定 CHANGELOG.md 由 changeset version 独占、⛔ 绝不手工编辑。⇒ 一条提到已删工作流的历史记录是正确的历史,不是待清理的残留。
⛔ 不新增 gate、不新增测试。⛔ 永不碰 content/docs/releases/。
.github/workflows/** 不在本仓 governed 集内 ⇒ 常规落地路径:draft PR → 回报停手,⛔ 不入队不 approve,由本席复核后入队。
卡片关联只写 PR body(Fixes #1744)。

Zone 2 — PM mechanism assumptions. ⚠️ Unverified. Test each.

⚠️ 自己再查一遍全仓对这个工作流的引用,⛔ 不要继承本席那两条命中。特别看:别的 workflow 是否用 workflow_run / needs 依赖它、README 或 docs 是否链接 objectstack-ai.github.io/hotcrm、有没有 badge 指向它。⭐ 若发现任何活引用,停手回报 —— 那会改变删除的形状。
⚠️ 删除会不会让某个必查门禁消失? 若 Deploy Documentation 曾被列进分支保护的 required checks,删掉工作流会让那个 required check 永远 pending。⛔ 本席没有验证这一点(需要仓设置读权限)。若你能测,测;测不了就在报告里明说未测。
⚠️ changeset:删一个从未成功过的工作流,对用户不可见。⭐ 这可能正是 skip-changeset 那个"唯一例外"的适用场景(AGENTS.md:给不向用户交付任何东西的 PR)。⛔ 但别猜 —— 让 Check Changeset 告诉你,并在报告里写明你选了哪条及依据。
⚠️ 删除后 main 上那道恒红检查要过一次推送才会消失。⛔ 不要在报告里宣称"红色已消失",只报你观察到的。

Zone 3 — suggested route (measurement beats this)

⭐ 本卡的价值不在删掉一个文件,而在拿掉一个假信号。 ruling 的话值得进 PR body:"a red check on main that everyone has learned to ignore is worse than no check, because it trains readers to ignore red."
PR body 值得记一句 ruling 的另一半:若将来真要文档站,那是一件重新设计的活,⛔ 不是复活这个文件。
pnpm verify 全绿是完成条(删 workflow 不影响它,但仍要跑)。
⭐ 卡这么小,诚实的报告就是短的;⛔ 不要注水。

Final report: machine-checkable fields only — gates / line_budget / deviations / files_changed。

⛔ Worktree-first。⛔ 绝不 git stash。⛔ 绝不 force-push。

改动:一个文件删除,−89 行。⛔ CHANGELOG.md 未动(本席独立复核:diff 里 changelog 文件数 = 0)。

⭐ 你的 `open_question` —— 本席能答,而且答案是 A

你问:Deploy Documentation 是否曾被配成 main 的 required status check?若是,删掉工作流会让它永远 pending。⭐ 你测不了就明说测不了,⛔ 没有省略、也没有猜 —— 这正是本席要的。

答案:A —— 它从来不可能是 required PR check。 两条独立读数:

① 机制上不可能。 本席读了工作流自己的触发器(origin/main 上,你删掉之前的版本):

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
    paths: [ 'docs/**', 'README.md' ]
  workflow_dispatch:

⇒ ⛔ 没有 pull_request 触发器。 它只在推上 main 之后跑。分支保护的 required checks 只能从在 PR 上报告的 check 里选 —— 一个从不在 PR 上出现的 job 无法被选为 required。

② 观测上从未出现。 本轮本席在 9 个 PR 上逐个读过 check runs(#1736 / #1737 / #1746 / #1748 / #1749 / #1751 / #1752 / #1753 / #1754),Deploy Documentation 在其中任何一个上都没有出现过。⭐ 其中 PR #1736 改的正是 docs/** —— 若它会在 PR 上报告,那一个必然出现。

⇒ 合并本 PR 不会留下任何永远 pending 的门禁。⛔ 无需任何人去改分支保护。

⭐ 记名:这是"测不了就说测不了"的正确结局。 你把它作为 open_question 交上来、附上两个选项与后果,本席用你没有的读数(其它 PR 的 check 列表 + 工作流触发器原文)把它关掉了。⛔ 若你当时省略不报,这个风险会静静跟着 PR 合并进去。

三处判对

⭐ 独立重搜,⛔ 未继承本席的读数。 结论一致:全仓 deploy-docs 只剩 CHANGELOG.md 那条历史条目,且未动。另核了 workflow_run / needs 依赖与 README/badge 链接,皆无。
⭐ skip-changeset 是查依据后用的,不是为了把红变绿。 你引了 AGENTS.md 对该标签的定义(给不向用户交付任何东西的 PR),并指出该 gate 自身的 if: !contains(labels,'skip-changeset') 条件 —— ⇒ 删一个从未成功过的工作流,确实命中那条"唯一例外"。
⛔ 没有宣称 main 上的红已经消失。 你明写那要等合并后的下一次推送。⭐ 这与本席派发令第 4 条一致,而它是最容易顺手写错的一句。

⚠️ 一处流程,记在本席账上

你上一轮的最后一句是 "I'll wait for this notification before continuing" —— 那是意图不是结果,按本车道纪律读作停摆,⛔ 不读作交付、也 ⛔ 不判死。本席当刻 SendMessage 续派并附了前台执行姿态句,你随即完成。

⭐ 值得记的是当时的实际状态:提交 6fb78249 已经在本地做好且正确,而远程分支停在 ebb67fe9(= main 的 tip,空推)。⇒ 停摆发生在"做完了但没推"的位置 —— 最容易被误读成什么都没做的那个位置。⛔ 若当时按"无远程产出"判死重派,就会重做一份已经做好的工作。⇒ 正向证据要看到 worktree,不能只看远程分支。

⚠️ 你把那次空推申报为"write-route probe(写路径探针),有意为之"。⭐ 申报本身是对的;⛔ 但它也是这次误判风险的来源 —— 一个空的远程分支对外看起来与"从未开始"相同。下次:探完写路径就把提交推上去,别让分支停在空态。
