Site: published by CI after a push to main and after a release (#79)
The Site workflow's last step, and the release workflow after publishing,
ask the web server over SSH to rebuild the site. The key CI holds is tied
on the server to one forced command (restrict,command=...), so CI sends no
command and a leaked key can only refresh the site. The server, the user,
the key and the server's host key are Gitea secrets; with none of them set
the step does nothing.

scripts/site_refresh.sh is what both workflows run;
scripts/site_deploy_keygen.sh makes the key and prints where each half goes.

1. On the web server, as the user that runs the refresh, add this one line to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys:
$options $(cat "$KEY.pub")
restrict: no terminal, no forwarding of any kind. command=: whatever the client asks for, this
runs instead.$([ -n "$FROM" ] || printf '\n Give the runner'"'"'s address as the second argument to add from="...": the key then works from there only.')
2. In Gitea, the repository's Settings > Actions > Secrets:
SITE_DEPLOY_KEY the whole of $KEY (the private key, with its BEGIN and END lines)
SITE_DEPLOY_HOST the server's address as the runner reaches it, or address:port
SITE_DEPLOY_USER that user's name
SITE_DEPLOY_KNOWN_HOSTS the server's host key, one line, from a machine you trust the network of:
ssh-keyscan -t ed25519 <address> (or: -p <port> <address>)
and compare it with the server's own:
ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub (on the server)
ssh-keyscan -t ed25519 <address> | ssh-keygen -lf - (here)
3. Try it, from here, with the same four values in the environment:
SITE_DEPLOY_KEY="\$(cat $KEY)" SITE_DEPLOY_HOST=... SITE_DEPLOY_USER=... \\
SITE_DEPLOY_KNOWN_HOSTS="\$(ssh-keyscan -t ed25519 ... 2>/dev/null)" scripts/site_refresh.sh
(with from= set, this works from the runner's address only.) Then, to see that the key can do
nothing else: ssh -i $KEY <user>@<address> id must run the refresh, not \`id\`.
Once the secret is in Gitea, the copy at $KEY can be deleted.
