sphinx-multiversion builds all documentation versions (tags + branches) in a single pass by scanning git history. Both workflow triggers are required:
fetch-depth: 0: Ensures full history access for version discoveryChanges
.github/workflows/docs.yml: Added inline comments explaining trigger and fetch-depth requirementsdocs/README.md: Added comprehensive documentation on multiversion setup, why both triggers are essential, and local build instructionsdocs/source/conf.py: Added cross-reference comments to workflow documentationContext
The workflow configuration was already correct but lacked documentation explaining why both triggers are necessary. Removing either trigger would result in incomplete or stale documentation builds, as sphinx-multiversion would only see partial git history.
