+name: Rebuild Manual
+
+# The Dialog manual (Dialog-IF/manual) pulls this repo's docs/ directory in as an Antora content
+# source, so a merge to main that touches docs/ can leave the published manual stale. This fires a
+# repository_dispatch at that repo to rebuild and redeploy it. release.yml fires the same event
+# after a tagged release; this covers the far more common plain merge to main. Scoped to docs/ -
+# a code-only merge produces an identical site, so there's nothing to rebuild.
+#
+# Needs a MANUAL_REBUILD_TOKEN repository secret - a token with Contents: read and write on
+# dialog-if/manual (classic PAT: repo scope). See that repo's README, "Triggering a rebuild from
+# another repository".
