Deploy workflow: don't fail the run in post-job cleanup after the branch switch - #657
Conversation
…witch Run 32625812211 deployed successfully — every step green, APK pushed, Pages rebuilt — and was still marked failed. The only failure was the post step of the setup-rust-android composite action: the runner resolves a local action's action.yml from the workspace at job end, but by then the job has switched the work tree to the deploy branch, which does not carry .github/actions/. The same error was present in run 32580483451 underneath the missing-script failure, so every deploy since the branch-switch design will end red on this regardless of how well the deploy went. A final always() step now restores .github/ from the app commit that was checked out at the start (its objects are local, so this works on the orphan branch too). It runs after the push, so nothing restored can leak into the deployed tree, and it runs on genuine failures as well — keeping the real error the only one the run reports.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow’s cleanup fix can still fail to restore the action definitions while reporting that step as successful, allowing the original misleading post-job failure to recur.

Do not silently suppress a failed restore.
If git checkout fails, || true reports success and leaves the local action definitions unavailable. A post-job action can then fail to load action.yml, reproducing the workflow failure this change is intended to prevent. Remove the suppression and verify a required file such as .github/actions/setup-rust-android/action.yml after the checkout.

Run 32625812211 (triggered by #655's merge) deployed successfully — APK built, signed, verified, pushed to

The same error sat underneath the missing-script failure in run 32580483451, so every deploy will end red on this regardless of how well the deploy went — a red ✗ that reads as a broken deploy but means nothing.Fix: a final

It runs after the force-push, so nothing restored can reach the deployed tree — and on genuine failures it keeps the real error the only one reported.With this + #656 merged, the next deploy should be fully green: website built with the deploy log,
rust/targetjunk purged from the branch by the fresh orphan commit, and no phantom post-step failure.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
