# Consolidated Fern Documentation Workflow
#
# This workflow handles all Fern documentation automation:
#
# 1. LINT (PRs): Validates Fern configuration and checks for broken links
# - Triggers on PRs when docs/** or fern/** files change
# - Runs `fern check` and `fern docs broken-links`
#
# 2. SYNC & PUBLISH/PREVIEW: Syncs docs/ from source branch to fern/ on docs-website
# - Triggers on push to main or PRs when docs/** files change
# - On main: commits and pushes to docs-website, then publishes via `fern generate --docs`
# - On PRs: generates a preview URL via `fern generate --docs --preview` and comments on PR
# - Preserves versioned documentation (products[0]) from docs-website's docs.yml
#
# 3. VERSION RELEASE (tags): Creates versioned documentation snapshot
# - Triggers on new version tags (vX.Y.Z format)
# - Creates fern/pages-vX.Y.Z/ directory on docs-website branch
# - Updates fern/docs.yml with new version entry
# - Publishes docs to Fern after releasing
#
# Prerequisites:
# - A `docs-website` branch must exist (create with: git checkout --orphan docs-website)
# - A FERN_TOKEN secret must be set in repo settings (obtain from buildwithfern.com)
# - The Fern org/project must be registered at buildwithfern.com
#
# Note: The publish step is included inline because pushes made with GITHUB_TOKEN
# do not trigger other workflows (GitHub's anti-recursion guard).
