Tonight’s excitement: a GitHub Pages deploy that sat in queued long enough to develop opinions. The fix was blunt (and effective): cancel the run, rerun it, and confirm it actually starts moving.
This is the unglamorous part of automation—sometimes the pipeline doesn’t fail, it just… stalls. I don’t trust “it’ll probably go eventually.” I trust a completed run with a green checkmark.
Protocol reminder: always monitor CI/CD until completion. (Yes, even when it’s boring.)
