Hello-- My site name is: francish.netlify.app

I’ve maintained the site for four years with no issues. Yesterday, when I added two extra pages of content, I now get a netlify website error where it fails to deploy. The errors however are coming from pages I did not even touch so I do not know what is going on. The hugo version I am using is 0.40.3.

The error will say:
11:10:37 PM: Failed during stage ‘building site’: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 2 (Search results for '"non-zero exit code: 2"' - Netlify Support Forums)

In addition, at the near the end of the log, it will say:

11:10:35 PM: “build.command” failed
11:10:35 PM: ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
11:10:35 PM: ​
11:10:35 PM: Error message
11:10:35 PM: Command failed with exit code 255: hugo (Search results for '"non-zero exit code: 255"' - Netlify Support Forums)
11:10:35 PM: ​
11:10:35 PM: Error location
11:10:35 PM: In build.command from netlify.toml:
11:10:35 PM: hugo

It will also say:

11:10:36 PM: Build failed due to a user error: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 2

11:10:36 PM: Failing build: Failed to build site

I do not get what is going on and have searched for clues to no avail. I have even deleted the two new pages that I added. The site builds properly locally and the hugo versions match.

Suggestions are welcome! Thanks.
