A month ago I disabled a GitHub Actions workflow. It was the right call and I made it in about ninety seconds.
The workflow pre-rendered static HTML for a site I run — read the JSON sources, generate the pages, commit the output back to the repo. It had started corrupting content. I reverted the damaged files by hand, went into the Actions tab, and switched it off. Then I got on with the day.
Last week I went looking for why it was off.
Not because anything broke. Because I wanted to publish an article, and publishing turned out to require that workflow, and I could not remember what was wrong with it.
