- Replace tj-actions/changed-files with existing file detection - Use the changed_files_csv output from docs-core-setup step - Fix 'Action not found' error by removing unreliable dependency - Maintain performance optimization by only checking changed files 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
