Subject: [PATCH] chore(deploy): skip production deploys for non-site commits
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Netlify bills 15 credits per production deploy, and this cycle already spent
~315 on 21 deploys. auto-deploy.sh now skips when the change between the last
deployed SHA and origin/main touches only non-site files (AGENTS.md/*.md,
scripts/, cvm-server/, skills/) — it records the SHA without deploying, so doc
commits cost nothing.
