Mondays 05:23 UTC: re-run the ETL cold against the live archives, and if the
output differs by a byte, gate it on the unit suite and a production build,
commit it to main, and dispatch the Pages deploy. If nothing changed, say so
in the run summary and touch nothing.
The gates run inside this workflow because they cannot run after it: a push
made with GITHUB_TOKEN fires no push workflows at all — GitHub's recursion
guard — so an unguarded push would deploy nothing and be checked by nothing.
The same guard is why the deploy and a visible CI record are dispatched
explicitly afterwards; dispatch events do go through where push events do
not. ci.yml gains a workflow_dispatch trigger for exactly that call.
Also corrects pages.yml's claim that configure-pages enables Pages on first
run. It cannot: the action's `enablement` input requires an admin-scoped
token, which GITHUB_TOKEN is not. If the site has never been enabled, the
first deploy fails at that step and the one-time fix is Settings → Pages →

Builds on a push to main and deploys the result, so the thing is reachable
without checking it out and running a dev server.
Two details a project site needs that a root deployment does not:
The base href is set from the repository name at build time. The app is served
from a subdirectory there, and `DataLoaderService` fetches its catalogues with
relative URLs — those resolve against `<base>` rather than the current path, so
without it a deep link would ask for /body/assets/data/stars.bin.
Pages serves a static tree with no rewrite rules, so /body/mars has no file
behind it and returns 404. Answering that 404 with the app lets the router
render the route. The status stays 404, which crawlers will notice and readers
will not; the alternative is hash URLs, which everyone notices.
Verified against a server that mimics both behaviours: the root loads the star
field with all six catalogue assets at 200, and /body/mars boots through
404.html and renders Mars at 3,390 km with its assets still resolving.
