fix: skip deploy PR when only lastupdated timestamps or epub/pdf changed#15049
Merged
Conversation
When Sphinx rebuilds documentation without any content changes, it still updates the `<span class="lastupdated">` date in every HTML file and regenerates epub/pdf binaries. This caused a noisy automated PR (e.g. #15046) with no meaningful content change. The `has_changes` check in the deploy job now ignores: - HTML lines matching `lastupdated` or `Last updated on` - epub and pdf binary files (which regenerate alongside HTML) If all changes fall into those categories, no PR is created.
