Walkthrough

The CI workflow in .github/workflows/ci-deploy.yml was simplified: renamed job, consolidated steps to install/setup, streamlined Vercel config and deploy logic with inline environment detection, added URL parsing, updated PR comment and deployment-card steps, and restricted production deployment/card creation to the main branch.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
CI workflow simplification and deploy flow \.github/workflows/ci-deploy.yml	Normalized triggers; removed pull-requests: write permission; renamed job to build_and_deploy; removed lint/unit/e2e/build steps; consolidated to dependency install and Vercel setup; simplified env inference; adjusted prebuild/deploy with prod on main; added URL extraction; updated PR comment formatting; created deployment card only on main with explicit production env.

Poem

I hopped through pipelines, light and spry,
Trimmed the steps, let old ones fly.
Vercel whispers, “URL’s clear!”
I twitch my nose—preview is here.
On main I thump: “Production, go!”
A carrot toast to the greener flow. 🥕🚀

16-16: Normalize YAML spacing to satisfy lint warning.

YAMLlint is flagging the double spaces after the colons on Line 16 (VERCEL_ORG) and Line 59 (VC_TEAM). Trimming those extra spaces will keep the workflow lint-clean. Based on static analysis hints.

Also applies to: 59-59
