fix(website): retry npm ci to dodge 'Exit handler never called!' crash#48
Merged
Conversation
npm ci intermittently crashes with 'Exit handler never called!' — a known npm bug under GitHub Actions runner memory pressure (8-min download then segfault). Retry up to 3 times with backoff, falling back to npm install which is more tolerant of lockfile state.

Problem
The Deploy Website workflow has failed twice in a row with:
This is a known npm bug triggered under GitHub Actions runner memory pressure —
npm cidownloads for ~8 minutes then segfaults. It is infrastructure-level, not content-level (the docs PR #46 itself passed all checks).Fix
Wrap the
npm cistep in a retry loop (3 attempts with 10s backoff), falling back tonpm installon final failure (more tolerant of lockfile state).--ignore-scriptsis preserved so postinstall doesn't run.This is a minimal, self-contained infra fix — no content changes.
Verification
npm install
