Summary

Every run of .github/workflows/deploy.yml (Fly.io) has failed since it existed — FLY_API_TOKEN was never set as a GitHub Actions secret, so flyctl deploy fails immediately with "no access token available". red-alert.fly.dev doesn't even resolve in DNS.

Meanwhile the app has actually been live and auto-deploying this whole time via Vercel's GitHub integration (an Import Project connection with zero repo config — no vercel.json), which is where real users reach it: https://red-alert-ten.vercel.app.

Changes

  • Added a live-demo link near the top of the README.
  • Split the deploy section into Vercel (documented as what's actually running, including an honest note about the app's long-lived-process architecture vs. serverless) and Fly.io (relabeled as prepared-but-never-connected, not the live pipeline). Left the Fly setup instructions intact — they're still valid for anyone who wants to actually finish connecting it.

Docs-only change, no code touched.

FLY_API_TOKEN was never set as a GitHub secret, so flyctl deploy fails
immediately with "no access token available". red-alert.fly.dev doesn't
even resolve. Meanwhile the app has been live and auto-deploying on Vercel
via its GitHub integration the whole time (undocumented — no vercel.json,
just an Import Project connection), which is where real users actually
reach it.

Added a live-demo link, documented Vercel as what's actually running today,
and relabeled the Fly.io section as prepared-but-not-connected rather than
implying it's the live pipeline. Left the setup instructions intact since
they're still valid for anyone who wants to finish connecting it.
