Documentation Pipelines¶

Documentation pipelines cover the automation that validates and prepares documentation changes.

Scope¶

This includes:

• build validation for the documentation site
• link and structure checks where they are useful
• publishing preparation steps in CI
• documentation changes as part of normal pull request review

Relevant Tools¶

• GitHub Actions
• uv
• MkDocs build validation
• repository review workflows

Current Model¶

This repository builds the documentation site with MkDocs and publishes it through GitHub Pages in workflow mode. The expected pipeline shape is:

1. check out the repository
2. install the pinned documentation toolchain with uv
3. run mkdocs build --strict
4. upload the generated site as a Pages artifact
5. deploy from main

Typical Work Items¶

• ensure every documentation change can be previewed or built reliably
• fail fast on broken links or invalid navigation
• keep documentation CI lightweight enough that contributors will use it
• align publishing automation with the repository's branch and review model

Why It Matters¶

Documentation pipelines are part of controlled automation. They improve trust in the published content and reduce the chance that important onboarding or operational guidance silently breaks.
