This directory contains GitHub Actions workflows that automatically refresh contribution statistics, activity feeds, and profile assets.

• update_activity.yml: Runs on a 12-hour cron (0 */12 * * *) and on workflow_dispatch. It executes inside a python:3.10-slim container to keep the runtime pinned and reproducible.

This repo runs an unattended develop→master pipeline, with no manual review step:

1. Validate — the job checks out develop and byte-compiles update_github_activity.py, download_badges.py, and design_tokens.py (python -m py_compile). If validation fails, the job stops here — nothing is committed or promoted.
2. Generate + commit to develop — update_github_activity.py regenerates README.md and the assets/stat-overview.svg / assets/stat-languages.svg badges, and the changes are committed and pushed to develop (not master) as github-actions[bot].
3. Promote to master — once the develop commit lands, the same job fast-forwards master to that commit (git merge --ff-only) and pushes it. This is a straight fast-forward, never a force-push; if develop and master have diverged such that a fast-forward isn't possible, the job fails loudly instead of overwriting history.

master is the branch that actually renders as the public github.com/knownassurajit profile page. develop is where the bot's generated commits land first and pass validation before being promoted.
