+# Triggers:
+#   - Push to main/master: Builds and deploys to gh-pages branch
+#   - Pull requests: Builds only (no deployment, for testing)
+#   - Releases: Builds and deploys
+#   - Manual dispatch: Can be triggered manually from Actions tab
+#
+# The gh-pages branch will be automatically created on the first successful deployment.
