fix: stop .vercelignore withholding files the prebuilt deploy needs - #8

Deploy API failed at the upload step: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/vercel/path0/.github/workflows/ci.yml' CI builds with `vercel build` and ships with `vercel deploy --prebuilt`. The build records every reachable file in .vercel/output's file map -- Python functions have no tree-shaking -- and the upload then applies .vercelignore. Any path excluded there that the build already recorded leaves the deployment referencing a file that was never sent. .vercelignore excluded .github, docs, examples, docker, apps/web and both test directories: all tracked, so all present in a CI checkout, so all bundled and then withheld. The manual first deploy never hit this because plain `vercel deploy` builds remotely from the uploaded files, where the two views cannot disagree. The rule is now stated in the file: only list paths absent from the machine that runs the build, which in practice means nothing tracked in git. What remains is gitignored or generated, and still covers the reason the file exists -- keeping a developer's local .env out of a laptop deploy, where it would otherwise supply any variable the Vercel project does not set, including an AI provider and key. The .env entries are now listed one by one instead of `.env.*` with negations for the two tracked examples: if the negation did not apply, those would be excluded, bundled and missing -- the same failure this commit fixes.

The rule is now stated in the file itself: only list paths absent from the machine that runs
vercel build— in practice, nothing tracked in git.What remains is gitignored or generated, and still covers the reason the file exists: keeping a developer's local
.envout of a laptop deploy, where it would otherwise supply any variable the Vercel project doesn't set, including an AI provider and its key.The
.enventries are now listed one by one rather than.env.*plus negations for the two tracked*.examplefiles. If the negation didn't apply, those would be excluded, bundled, and missing — the very failure this fixes.Pipeline progress
