 ##### 2. Key Steps for `deploy-gh-pages.yml` & `deploy-wikitree-apps.yml`
-* Integrate identical caching, dependency installation, execution (`npm run test:e2e`), and artifact storage steps to gate staging/production deployments.
-* Crucially, do **NOT** disable Google Analytics during the app building phase (`VITE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS` should not be modified), since Playwright's built-in network router handles isolating tracking traffic securely during testing.
+* No testing steps are run within the deploy workflows. They are fully streamlined to execute checkouts, build production assets, and deploy immediately, leaving gating assertions to the primary merge-to-master CI loop (`node.js.yml`).
