The Docs workflow built and uploaded the site fine, but deploy-pages failed with "HttpError: Not Found" because the repo's Pages was in legacy "Deploy from a branch" mode (main /root) — which just serves the raw README, so the site showed a single page with no navigation. Add actions/configure-pages@v5 with enablement:true before deploy-pages so the workflow switches the Pages source to "GitHub Actions" (build_type=workflow) and publishes the built MkDocs site.

integrations.md lives at docs/ root, so the link to the how-to guide must be how-to/choose-a-preset.md, not ../how-to/... . The ../ form pointed outside the docs tree and failed `mkdocs build --strict`. Assisted-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Osher-Elhadad <Osher.Elhadad@ibm.com>

Problem
https://rossoctl.github.io/context-guru/shows a single page with no menu — it's serving the raw repoREADME.mdbecause Pages is set to legacy Deploy from a branch (main, /root), not the built MkDocs site.The
Docsworkflow already builds the site correctly, but itsdeployjob failed on both merges to main with:That error is what
actions/deploy-pagesreturns when the repo's Pagesbuild_typeislegacyrather thanworkflow.Fix
Add
actions/configure-pages@v5withenablement: truebeforedeploy-pages. On the next run it switches the Pages source to GitHub Actions (build_type: workflow) and then publishes the built site — homepage, nav, and all.After merging
Merging this to
maintriggers theDocsworkflow (it touches the workflow file), which will flip the source and deploy the real site. If auto-enablement is blocked by org policy, the one-click equivalent is Settings → Pages → Source → "GitHub Actions", then re-run the workflow.
