name: Sync Wiki

# Publishes docs/wiki/ to the repository's GitHub wiki.
#
# The wiki is a separate git repo with no CI and no review, so the source of truth
# lives in docs/wiki/ and this workflow mirrors it. Browser edits to the wiki are
# overwritten by the next sync; fix pages with a PR against docs/wiki/ instead.
#
# One-time setup: GitHub only creates <repo>.wiki.git once the first page has been
# saved in the browser. Save a stub page at /wiki/_new before the first run.
#
# Token: GITHUB_TOKEN can push to the wiki on most repos but not all. If a run fails
# with 403, add a fine-grained PAT with wiki write access as the WIKI_TOKEN secret;
# it is preferred automatically when present. Note the 403 usually surfaces on the
# PUSH, not the clone: this repo is public, so a read-only token still clones the
# wiki fine. Both steps carry the hint.
