…cs is skipped GitHub auto-skips dependent jobs when any needed job is skipped, regardless of the if: condition. Using always() prevents this while the explicit failure/cancelled checks ensure we still don't deploy on errors. On main branch pushes publish-versioned-docs is correctly skipped (no tag), but without always() this caused deploy-to-ic to also be skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
After #443 merged,
deploy-to-icstill wasn't triggering on pushes tomain. The run 23236250900 showsdeploy-to-icas skipped.Root cause: GitHub automatically skips dependent jobs when any needed job is skipped, regardless of the
if:condition. Onmainbranch pushes,publish-versioned-docsis correctly skipped (it only runs onv*tags anddocs/v*branches). But this cascades and also skipsdeploy-to-ic.Fix
Add
always()to theif:condition to opt out of the cascade-skip behavior, while keeping explicit guards against failures and cancellations:This ensures:
mainpush (even thoughpublish-versioned-docsis skipped)docs/v*push (all three publish jobs ran)
