Only nextjs-kind excluded .env* from the deploy archive; python and vite
did not - so a project's local .env at its root got zipped and shipped to
the server on every deploy, planting local secrets over the server's own
(the operator-file restore only wins for files it preserved). Add
.env/.env.local/.env.production to the python and vite deploy excludes,
matching nextjs. Kept DEPLOY-only (like `uploads`): backups still capture
.env so a source backup stays complete. Bash + PowerShell.
Note: this covers a ROOT .env. A nested secret (e.g. DocketMail's
backend/.env) is handled separately via deploy.preserve in the project's
zconfig.
Config-driven PowerShell scripts to run infrastructure tasks (deploy, restart, backup, diagnostics) yourself instead of having an AI agent orchestrate them, to save agent tokens. Environment specifics live in zconfig.json (gitignored).
