Oct 1, 2025Summary for 2025-10: Stabilized documentation deployment for linkedin/Liger-Kernel and protected benchmark data during gh-pages releases. By disabling mkdocs deployment in the current CI run, we prevented documentation build failures, and by implementing a data-preservation workflow that backs up benchmark data from gh-pages before deployment and restores it afterward, we preserved historical results and reduced release risk. These changes improve CI reliability and ensure consistent documentation and benchmarking history across releases. Key commits include 1c07943e9f3c4d84b2bcc48e790239039bfa2f10 and 99a90f7cc42a0606c1680cca3999cb498ab75723.
