Fixes the failing Cloudflare Pages CI deployment by preventing the infinite accumulation of old Pagefind search index chunks in the cloudflare-pages branch.
Previously, our deployment step used the actions-gh-pages action with keep_files: true. While this correctly protected older, stable versions of the docs (like v1.5.0), it also prevented Git from deleting stale files in the dev folder. Every time a PR was merged, Pagefind generated hundreds of newly hashed search chunks, which piled up next to the old ones. This caused the dev directory to quietly balloon to over 4,000 files, repeatedly breaking Cloudflare Pages' 20,000 file limit.
Key Changes:
Removed the generic actions-gh-pages deployment step.
Implemented a targeted Git deployment script that pulls the cloudflare-pages branch, explicitly wipes the old dev folder and copies over the fresh build.
Older, stable version directories remain completely untouched.
In the versioned release workflow, the older pagefind search indexes from previous deployments are pruned for the same effect
