The prepare_environment composite action does its own unqualified actions/checkout@v6 with no path: argument, which wipes the workspace root -- including any ./src/ we've laid down. This caused workflow_dispatch runs on release tags to fail at the Build docs step with: Error: An error occurred trying to start process '/usr/bin/bash' with working directory '/home/runner/work/Aviary/Aviary/src'. No such file or directory Reorder so prepare_docs_environment runs first (its internal checkout lands in the workspace root and we ignore that tree) and the tag checkout into ./src/ runs afterward. ./actions/ survives both because actions/checkout only cleans the directory it owns.

Problem
workflow_dispatchruns ofpublish_docs.ymlfail on the Build docs step with:Root cause
The
prepare_environmentcomposite action (.github/actions/prepare_environment/action.ymllines 57-58) does its ownactions/checkout@v6with nopath:argument. That unqualified checkout owns the workspace root and cleans it — wiping the./src/tree that the preceding "Checkout repository at target tag" step laid down.Fix
Reorder the steps so
prepare_docs_environmentruns before the tag checkout:Checkout actions— sparse-checks out into./actions/prepare_docs_environment— its internal checkout lands in the root (we ignore that tree);./actions/survives because it's owned by a different checkoutCheckout repository at target tag— now lays down./src/where nothing else will touch itBuild docs/Publish docs— run against./src/No changes to the composite action itself (which is shared across other workflows).
