🚀 Enhanced Multi-Platform Deployment Workflow

This PR enhances the existing PR preview deployment workflow with intelligent failover capabilities.

✨ Key Features

  • Enhanced Vercel Deployment: Added and success tracking
  • Smart Netlify Fallback: Only deploys if Vercel fails or isn't available
  • Intelligent URL Detection: Determines which deployment succeeded and uses appropriate URL
  • Enhanced PR Comments: Shows deployment status and platform used with clear messaging

📊 Supported Deployment Scenarios

  1. Vercel Success (Primary): Uses Vercel deployment URL
  2. Vercel Fails → Netlify Fallback: Falls back to Netlify with success indication
  3. Both Fail: Shows failure status with suggestions for alternatives

🔧 Technical Implementation

  • Uses GitHub Actions outputs to track deployment success
  • Conditional job execution based on previous step outcomes
  • Robust error handling with meaningful user feedback
  • No conflicts between deployment platforms

🎯 Benefits

  • Reliability: Automatic failover ensures PR previews are always available
  • Efficiency: Only one platform deploys per PR (no resource waste)
  • Clarity: Clear indication of which platform is serving the preview
  • Flexibility: Easy to extend with additional deployment platforms

This maintains the existing workflow behavior while adding resilience through intelligent failover.

- Add enhanced Vercel deployment with success tracking
- Implement smart Netlify fallback when Vercel fails
- Add intelligent URL detection for deployment platform used
- Enhance PR comments with deployment status and platform info
- Support three deployment scenarios: Vercel success, Netlify fallback, both fail
