The CLI command reference is auto-generated MDX. MDX is stricter than plain Markdown: bare angle-bracket placeholders, JSON-in-braces, and broken anchors can compile locally yet fail the site build. Nothing verified the generated output before it landed, so breakage only surfaced downstream. Add a real Docusaurus build as the ground-truth check: - The "CLI Docs Update" workflow now builds the site after regenerating the command reference and before opening its PR, so broken generated docs never become a PR. Because the site sets onBrokenLinks and onBrokenAnchors to 'throw', this also catches broken anchors and links. - A new "Validate CLI Docs Build" workflow runs the same build on any PR that touches docs/cli/**, gating hand edits and the auto-generated PR. Also preserve the hand-maintained command-reference index.mdx landing pages (custom ordering, ReleaseNoteHeader component) across regeneration: gen-docs no longer emits them, so restore them after the rm -rf that refreshes the generated command pages.

The Vercel preview build is the required check on every PR, so it already compiles the generated CLI MDX (and fails on broken links/anchors) once a PR is opened. The extra `yarn build` step in this workflow was therefore redundant, and worse, it ran before the PR was created: if it failed, no PR would open and the failure would only surface in Actions run history that nobody watches. Remove that pre-PR build (and its Node setup / install steps) and the standalone validate-cli-docs-build.yml workflow. Keep the copy + index restore, which is the part that's actually needed alongside the gen-docs change that stops emitting the hand-maintained index pages.

Summary
The gen-docs change in temporalio/cli#1112 stops emitting the CLI command-reference index landing pages (
command-reference/index.mdxandcloud/index.mdx), because those are hand-maintained on the docs site (custom ordering, theReleaseNoteHeadercomponent). This workflow doesrm -rf docs/cli/command-referencebefore regenerating, so without a change here those curated pages would be deleted — breaking thesidebars.jsreferences (and the build).This restores those two files from
HEADafter regeneration. (Thecp -rthat preserves thecloud/subdirectory is already in place.)What changed since first review
This PR originally also added a
yarn buildvalidation step here plus a standalonevalidate-cli-docs-build.ymlworkflow. Per review (thanks @lennessyy) those were dropped:So the PR is now just the index-preservation fix.
Companion PR
temporalio/cli#1112 — the gen-docs change this pairs with. They should land together (this workflow relies on that PR's
-subdirflag, and the index restore pairs with it no longer emitting those pages).
