We need a GitHub Actions workflow that builds jq.1.prebuilt, jq.1, the website (as a tarball), and mantests, and then makes a GitHub release of those artifacts so we can:

• manually update jq.1.prebuilt in the source tree and commit it
• manually update tests/man.test in the source tree and commit it
• manually update the gh_pages from the website tarball

When we update the manual files, we need to update jq.1.prebuild and tests/man.test to make the PR status green #2697. The website is automatically updated by Github Actions #2603. What's missing?

I guess what is missing is a bot that automatically generates jq.1.prebuilt, parser.c, etc after a PR is merged, but do we really wan that?

No, let me close this.
