Description

Some changes have not been reflected after deployment, even though they work correctly locally. One example is the issue with the index styling of some buttons on the main page.

This PR updates the deployment workflow to use more recent action and Node.js versions. It also removes keep_files from the final deployment step, which was preserving old files even after they had been removed from the local build.

Keeping old files in the deployment could result in differences between the local build and the deployed site. Removing this option ensures that the deployed files more closely reflect the current build output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The site deployment workflow now uses Node 22, a pinned checkout action, deployment concurrency, an updated workflow path trigger, and cleaned publish output.

Changes

Site deployment workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deployment workflow controls
.github/workflows/build-and-deploy-site.yml
The workflow cancels overlapping deployments, watches its own workflow file, pins the checkout action, uses Node 22, and removes keep_files: true from deployment.

Use one concurrency group for all gh-pages writers.

.github/workflows/build-and-deploy-site.yml uses pages-deployment, but .github/workflows/deploy-site-preview.yml uses a different group and also pushes to gh-pages. Overlapping runs can race on the branch. The preview workflow retries this race only in prune; the preview deployment push has no equivalent coordination, so a push can be rejected and the deployment can fail. Set the preview workflow's group to pages-deployment as well. This shared group is sufficient to serialize these writers.

Decided to ignore this, by removing this additional improvement because fixing this will affect other workflows, and this is out of the scope of this PR.
A follow up PR for this would be great.

@Katotodan, understood. The shared concurrency change is outside this PR scope.

Would you like me to open a follow-up GitHub issue for the gh-pages writer coordination?

A few things I’d just like to confirm:

Do we know that the stale files were the cause of the button styling issue? It might also be worth ruling out the Node version, caching, or deployment trigger.
Since clean: true changes the cleanup behavior on gh-pages, can we confirm there isn’t anything intentionally maintained there outside site/build (apart from pr-preview)?
Could we mention the action switch and the removed workflow trigger in the PR description for future reference?
Also, just confirming that Node 22 is the intended project version; if so, maybe pin setup-node as well for consistency with the pinned checkout action.

The gh-pages concurrency issue makes sense to handle separately since it touches the preview workflow as well.

@vedant21-ctr According to @Katotodan, none of the folders other than pr-preview are needed, so they can be safely removed. Also, Node has been updated from version 20 to 22 in most of the other workflows, so it's fine.
