Previously, issue_comment (/glimpse) events would overlay packages/action/ from main after checking out the PR head. This meant every action/core code change required merging to main before it could be tested — causing wasted debugging cycles (the cursor overlay actually worked much earlier than we thought). Replace the overlay with a `pnpm build` step that always rebuilds the action dist from the checked-out source. This works for both event types: - pull_request: rebuilds from PR source (fixes stale dist edge cases) - issue_comment: rebuilds from PR head, so /glimpse tests the branch's code Also remove the GG_DEBUG_TRACE debug infrastructure (trace start/stop, tracePath interfaces, upload-artifact step) added during the cursor debugging session — no longer needed now that the root cause is identified.

Problem
When
/glimpseis triggered viaissue_comment, GitHub always runs the workflow from the default branch (main). Our workaround was to overlaypackages/action/from main after checking out the PR head — which meant every action/core code change required merging to main before it could be tested.This caused significant wasted debugging time: the cursor overlay actually worked much earlier, but we couldn't see it because our code changes were being silently ignored.
Fix
Replace the overlay step with
pnpm build, which rebuilds the action dist from whatever is currently checked out:issue_comment(/glimpse): checks out PR head → builds from it → action uses PR branch's code ✅pull_request: checks out merge commit → builds from it → also fixes stale dist edge cases ✅External users are unaffected — they use
uses: DeDuckProject/git-glimpse@v1(published action), not this workflow.Also removed
GG_DEBUG_TRACEtrace infrastructure (tracePathinterfaces,context.tracing.start/stop, upload-artifact step) — was debug scaffolding for the cursor investigation, no longer needed.debug-cursor.mjs— local debug script, was untracked.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
