Summary by cubic

Standardized docs to use “publish/unpublish” for the workflow lifecycle, replacing “activate/deactivate” across the site. Added a dedicated “Publishing and saving workflows” page and linked it in nav.

  • New Features

    • Added workflows/publish.md and nav entry to explain publishing, unpublishing, and version management.
  • Refactors

    • Updated UI copy: Editor top bar now uses “Publish”; command bar shows “publish/unpublish”.
    • Revised CLI docs: deprecated update:workflow; added publish:workflow and unpublish:workflow; removed --all to avoid accidental publishing.
    • Adjusted environment variable descriptions to reflect unpublishing after crashed executions and publish batch size.
    • Updated trigger docs (Schedule, Cron, Webhook, Form, MCP): instructions now reference publishing and production URLs.
    • Clarified error workflows: they work without publishing.
    • Updated courses, tutorials, and examples to use publish terminology and behavior.
    • Aligned executions docs: production runs occur when a published workflow’s trigger fires.

Written for commit ab17969. Summary will update automatically on new commits.
