- Add explicit permissions for GitHub Pages deployment (contents: write, pages: write)
- Fix Google Benchmark installation with local prefix and error handling
- Make benchmark execution more robust with fallback options
- Add proper error handling for Google Benchmark installation steps
- Ensure CI continues even if benchmark installation fails
