ci(pages): exclude game dump from Pages deploy (fixes syncing_files timeout) - #46
Merged

Conversation
deploy-pages regenerates the full static dump (`python -m app.dump`) and uploads it to GitHub Pages. Since the game category grew to ~962k records, the artifact holds ~1M per-record files and the deploy step times out at `Current status: syncing_files` / `Error: Timeout reached, aborting!`. Mirror the TechAPI homepage workflow: after assembling `_site`, drop `_site/v1/games` and remove `games` from `_site/v1/index.json`. Games stay available as versioned data in the TechAPI repo; every other collection is still published. This keeps the deploy within the Pages sync window. (Latent since the ~1M import on 2026-07-12; only surfaced now that the setup-python crash in #45 was fixed and the deploy step actually runs.)

Problem
After #45 fixed the
setup-pythoncrash,deploy-pagesnow runs to completion — and fails at the deploy step:Root cause:
deploy-pagesregenerates the full static dump (python -m app.dump) and uploads it to GitHub Pages. Since thegamecategory grew to ~962k records (Wikidata + RAWG, 2026-07-12), the_siteartifact holds ~1M per-record files, which exceeds the fixed GitHub Pages deployment window — the sync never finishes.This was latent:
deploy-pageslast succeeded at #41 (before the big game import), then failed atsetup-python(cache:pip / Node 24) so the size problem was masked until now.Fix
Mirror the TechAPI homepage workflow (which already does this and deploys reliably): after assembling
_site, drop the games dir and strip it from the index manifest.No engine/runtime code touched — deploy assembly only.
