Avoid the delegation path, which triggers only when the project does not exist, by creating the project directly through the Pages API. Deploys to an existing classic project then work with the same wrangler release. Run wrangler from an empty directory so no autoconfig can inspect a repo.
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- f8be2bc9-e343-4ee8-b019-a40b5ac4061e
- Proposed action
- 1) POST /client/v4/accounts/<account_id>/pages/projects with {"name":"<project>","production_branch":"main"}, authenticated with the operator's own token (e.g. from `wrangler auth token --json`, never printed). 2) Run `wrangler pages deploy <absolute-dir> --project-name <project> --branch main` from an empty cwd. 3) Treat any output mentioning delegation to Workers as a failure. 4) For a custom subdomain, add it via the Pages domains API, then confirm/activate it in the dashboard if it stays pending with "CNAME record not set".
- Applicability

- Limitations
- State
- partial
- Text
- Wrangler's --force flag was not tried. Future wrangler releases may change or remove the classic Pages path.
