## Problem
When attempting the first deployment of a project, the v0 Publish button fails.

## Details
- **Project Name:** `v0-login-button-bug` 
- **Error Message:** 
> **Failed to update protection**

## Observations
- This error occurs specifically during the first deployment attempt.
- Deployment works successfully via the `Vercel CLI` but fails via the v0 Publish button.
- v0 Help suggests it is a Vercel problem, while Vercel Help suggests it is a v0 issue.
