Workflow failures #159
Description
@anssiko it seems like the workflow might be failing from the window-placement to window-management shortname migration? https://github.com/w3c/window-management/actions/runs/28897343506
AI suggests:
Request W3C Manual Transition (Recommended Long-Term Fix)
To officially transition to the new shortname, you must ask the W3C Webmaster to manually publish the First Public Working Draft (FPWD) (or a manual transition draft) using the new window-management shortname.
Once the W3C Webmaster successfully publishes the draft manually, https://www.w3.org/TR/window-management/ will exist on the W3C servers.
After that, all subsequent pushes to main will automatically succeed via the automated auto-publish.yml workflow.
Separately, we should
Clean Up Action Deprecations
While not the cause of the publish failure, your GitHub Actions runner also emitted warnings about Node.js deprecations. To future-proof your workflow, update the action versions in .github/workflows/auto-publish.yml:
Upgrade actions/checkout@v2 to actions/checkout@v4
Upgrade actions/setup-python@v2/v4 to actions/setup-python@v5

Interesting analysis ;)
But the reason why publication fails is that Joshua Bell is listed as editor but is not (or no longer?) a participant in the Second Screen Working Group. Spec editors must be in the group per the W3C Process. The publication rules (a.k.a. "pubrules") checker did not enforce that until some time ago, it now does. It is possible that the Window Management spec got last published before the checker started to enforce the rule.
The solution is either to move Joshua to a "Former editor" list or for him to join the Working Group if that's a possibility. That should be enough to resume publication. The document is already published as

Thanks for correcting my misinformation, @tidoust, and apologies for using more tokens than brain cells.
#160 fixed that participation issue in CI run 173: https://github.com/w3c/window-management/actions/workflows/auto-publish.yml
#161 and #162 update to https://github.com/actions/checkout#checkout-v6 but Node20 warnings might persist until https://github.com/w3c/spec-prod is updated.
