The obvious fix, telling the workflow to ignore content paths, would have quietly broken every merge instead. </div> <h2 class="relative group">Symptom: a browser for a one-line edit <div id="symptom-a-browser-for-a-one-line-edit" class="anchor"></div> <span class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#symptom-a-browser-for-a-one-line-edit" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </span> </h2> <p>Every pull request on this blog runs two jobs: a <code>lint</code> job, and a <code>build-and-test</code> job. The second one builds the site with Hugo, link-checks the output with htmltest, then installs a headless Chromium and runs a Playwright suite against a live <code>hugo server</code>. End to end, roughly 85 seconds, and almost all of it is Playwright.</p>
