+Builds, commits, pushes to `pages`.
+
+**Do not expect the live site to update immediately.** Pages sits behind a cache
+(`x-pages-cache: true`, `cache-control: public, max-age=600`), so the public URL can serve the
+previous build for several minutes — observed between ~15 seconds and ~3.5 minutes. A
+cache-busting query string does not bypass it.
+
+When the live copy looks stale, **check the repo before debugging the deployment**:
```bash
-curl -s -L https://rain.pages.melonbread.xyz/la-li-lu-le-lo/ | sha256sum
+# 1. did the push actually land? (this is the source of truth)
+curl -s https://git.melonbread.xyz/rain/la-li-lu-le-lo/raw/branch/pages/index.html | sha256sum
sha256sum index.html
+
+# 2. then, once those match, wait out the cache on the public URL
+curl -s -L https://rain.pages.melonbread.xyz/la-li-lu-le-lo/ | sha256sum
```
-The two must match. A stale deploy is the most common confusing failure — check the hash before debugging anything else.
+If (1) matches and (2) does not, it is the cache — wait, do not start changing things. If (1)
+does not match, the push failed and that is the real problem.
