Pull request overview
This PR enhances the pkgdown workflow to support dry-run testing of documentation on pull requests. The workflow now builds the documentation site for PRs without deploying, while maintaining the existing deployment behavior for pushes to main/master branches.
Changes:
- Added pull request trigger to enable documentation builds on PRs
- Updated action versions and dependencies to use modern consolidated actions
- Split the build and deploy steps to conditionally execute based on event type
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

Using a specific Ubuntu version (ubuntu-22.04) instead of ubuntu-latest reduces automatic updates and may require manual maintenance when the version reaches end-of-life. Consider using ubuntu-latest unless there's a specific compatibility requirement.

pkgdown build was still failing after #323. This PR attempts to fix the build again. It also adds PR builds for the pkgdown workflow to act as a dry run for verifying the site build.
