docs: retire the GitHub Pages deployment, declare a canonical URL - #114
Merged
Conversation
audiobrowser.dev is served by Cloudflare Pages now, built from this branch on every push. docs.yml was deploying a second, competing build of the same site to GitHub Pages, and website/CNAME only ever meant anything to that host. The GitHub Pages site itself is unbound from the repo separately — deleting the workflow stops new deployments but does not release the domain. Not removed: the _github-pages-challenge-radio-garden TXT record. It holds GitHub's org-level verification of audiobrowser.dev, and while it exists no other GitHub account can claim the domain for Pages.
The Pages project answers on audiobrowser.pages.dev as well as audiobrowser.dev, serving the same production build from the same commit. Two hostnames with identical content compete in search results; a canonical URL points both at audiobrowser.dev. Skipped for DOCS_NOINDEX builds. A page that is both noindexed and canonicalised elsewhere sends contradictory signals, and previews are already noindexed, so there is nothing left to disambiguate.
