Conversation
The Release workflow triggered on `pull_request: closed [release]`, so its jobs
ran in the PR-merge ref context (refs/pull/N/merge). The github-pages
environment only allows deployments from the `main`/`release` branches, so the
deploy was always rejected ("Branch refs/pull/N/merge is not allowed to deploy
to github-pages"). The workflow had in fact never deployed successfully.
Follow the official VitePress GitHub Pages guide: trigger on `push` to the
release branch (plus workflow_dispatch). The run then executes in the `release`
branch context, which is now an allowed deployment branch for the github-pages
environment, so deploy-pages succeeds.
Also drop the `if: github.event.pull_request.merged == true` guards on all three
jobs (obsolete once the trigger is push/dispatch rather than pull_request).
