IIUC we have to do most of the work to generate the meta data, but then
don't push it if there is no diff?

What are we saving with this optimisation?

This seems like a very convoluted process. Can't we just put the
metadata generation in the docs build and upload the assets as usual?
I've never had to use a PAT to deploy a github page.

Do we not trust Github to set an env variable?

Why put a credential in an env variable anyway? Can we not simply write
${{ secrets.GH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }} below?

Won't this print your PAT for the world to use?
