# Step 12: put the local action definitions back. This job switches the
# work tree to the deploy branch, which does not carry .github/actions/ —
# and post-job steps of composite actions (rust-cache's save) resolve
# their action.yml from the workspace at job END. Without this, every
# run since the branch switch was added has ended "failure" on the post
# step even when the deploy itself fully succeeded — a red X that reads
# as a broken deploy but means nothing. `always()` so it also runs when
# a step after the switch genuinely failed, keeping the real error the
# only one reported.

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.

In @.github/workflows/nightlydepolyci.yml at line 207, Update the workflow step
containing the git checkout to remove the || true failure suppression, then
verify that .github/actions/setup-rust-android/action.yml exists after checkout
so restore failures stop the job and missing action definitions are detected.
