deploy: create tar archive for gh-pages manually

jonchurch · jonchurch · commit 778a497c2338 · 2026-01-30T13:46:11.000-05:00
upload-pages-artifact excludes hidden files, so .well-known isnt being published. see actions/upload-pages-artifact#129 This PR drops that action to tar the _site dir ourselves and hands it off to upload-artifact for publishing. We probably don't even need to use that action if it ever has the config changed, but I'll open a PR to them with a include-hidden-files option
