The previous 'always sync' approach failed because it tried to copy files
from /workspace/repo/ which doesn't exist on the production server.
The SSH heredoc (<<EOF) executes commands ON the production server, not in
the Gitea Actions workspace. File paths inside heredoc are relative to the
production server's filesystem.
This commit adds an scp step BEFORE the SSH heredoc to transfer
docker-compose.base.yml and docker-compose.production.yml from the Actions
workspace to the production server.
This ensures the build: null overrides (commit 2e539ed) reach production
and services can restart without build context errors.
Changes:
- Added scp command to deploy docker-compose files before SSH deployment
- Changed file sync check from 'cp' to file existence validation
- Updated comments to clarify rsync-based deployment architecture
