Description

Looking at #8807 apparently we don't run regendoc on CI? It seems to me like we should, and not only run it on releases.

Perhaps we should even enforce that regendocs runs through without any diff, i.e. that any possible changes in the generated docs should be part of the PR diff?

Research direction

Read #8807 first, then inspect the existing release-only regendoc setup and CI configuration. Define a CI check that runs regendoc and fails when generated documentation differs; verify that the check captures generated changes in the pull request diff.
