This error occurs when attempting to publish to a non-existing Cloudflare Pages project using GitHub Actions.

There are two options/ways to create a project as I see:

Option/Way 1: `Create by importing an existing Git repository`.

Process: Connect the GitHub repo -> Name the new project -> Click deploy to finish the setup.

Then, pause automatic deployments (from Build & deployment settings) because I'm going to use GitHub Actions for that. I don't need Cloudflare to do this for me.

Now, every time I push, there will be two deployments: one created by Cloudflare (skipped), and one created by my GitHub workflow.

Option/Way 2: `Create using direct upload`.

Process: Name the new project -> Click "Create project" (No need to finish the process by clicking deploy. All we need was creating a project).

The question is:

Is "Create using direct upload" the way to go to create a project when you do custom deployments using GitHub Actions?
