| 3 | ### Regenerate https://docs.vlang.io/ (the GitHub Pages site served from the |
| 4 | ### `main` branch of https://github.com/vlang/docs ), on every change to |
| 5 | ### doc/docs.md that lands on master. |
| 6 | ### |
| 7 | ### Historically docs.vlang.io was updated by the FreeBSD machine that also runs |
| 8 | ### cmd/tools/fast/fast.v . When that single machine stops, the site silently |
| 9 | ### goes stale (see issue #27038, where it was stuck at the 2026-02-09 snapshot). |
| 10 | ### Generating and deploying from CI removes that single point of failure, the |
| 11 | ### same way modules.vlang.io is deployed from module_docs_ci.yml . |
