ci: publish to pages from a pre-push hook
verify-and-publish / gate (push) Successful in 22m13s
verify-and-publish / publish (push) Has been skipped

Pushing main now rebuilds the site and force-pushes dist/ to pages.

.agents/scripts/publish-pages.sh does the work. It never checks pages
out: it writes a tree straight from dist/ with write-tree and
commit-tree, so the working tree is untouched and a failure halfway
through leaves nothing behind. The commit is parented on the current
pages tip, so the branch keeps its history and a rollback is one
force-push to an earlier commit -- which the script prints before it
pushes.

It refuses to publish when the working tree is dirty, when HEAD is not
main, when HEAD is not the commit being pushed, or when any of the ten
routes is missing or empty in dist/. A build can succeed and still emit a
stub; that is exactly how this site would go down.

The hook guards three ways. AF_PUBLISHING short-circuits it so the
publisher's own push does not re-enter it forever. AF_NO_PUBLISH=1 lets
you push main without publishing. And because git has no post-push hook,
the publish necessarily runs before main lands -- so it first checks that
the remote tip is an ancestor of what is being pushed, and skips
publishing when the push could still be rejected as a non-fast-forward.

Also rewrites the operations guide's rollback section, which still
described merging main into pages with --ff-only. That has not been true
since pages started carrying build output.

# `--pending` exists for the pre-push hook. Git has no post-push hook, so the
# hook necessarily runs before main lands on the remote and the usual "HEAD must
# equal origin/main" check cannot hold yet. The caller asserts the SHA the push
# will create, and the hook only asserts it after confirming the push is a
# fast-forward.

# `pages` is what the Gitea Pages Server actually serves. Publishing overwrites

# This never checks `pages` out. It writes a tree straight from `dist/` with
# plumbing (`write-tree` + `commit-tree`), so your working tree is untouched and
