Ahh so your workflow is being triggered with the conditions you have.

But the job didn't run because you have this later on:

jobs:
  deploy-game:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest] # macos-latest, windows-latest
        node: [16]
        deploy-dir: [game/.vitepress/dist]
        deploy-user: [augusmeow]
        deploy-repo: [game]

    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}

    # only me, deploy
    if: github.actor == 'DrAugus'. # <------ THIS LINE

In this case, the renovate bot was the actor, so the job didn't run. You would probably have to do something like

    if: github.actor == 'DrAugus' || github.actor == 'renovate[bot]'

I'm guessing on the renovate[bot] bit, but you can check the context for the exact actor.

Haha, you're absolutely right! Really appreciate your assistance. It really helped me out.
