Inject runner-absolute SSH opts via deploy-rs --ssh-opts
check / flake-check (push) Successful in 19s
deploy / deploy (push) Failing after 56s

The gitea-runner is a systemd DynamicUser whose passwd home is /, so ssh
expands ~ to /.ssh/... (not $HOME). deploy-rs passes ssh opts to ssh with
no shell, so a tilde in deploy.nix sshOpts resolved to a missing key and
nix copy failed with 'failed to start SSH connection'.

Keep deploy.nix sshOpts path-free; build absolute -i/known_hosts paths in
deploy.yml from $HOME (bash-expanded) and append them via --ssh-opts, which
deploy-rs merges into NIX_SSHOPTS for the copy and the activation ssh.
Also removes the temporary SSH debug step.

# The Gitea runner has a global `Host * IdentityFile ~/.ssh/larsnolden` in its
# ~/.ssh/config (a passphrase-locked key). `-F none` makes ssh ignore that
# config so it doesn't offer the wrong key; `-i` + IdentitiesOnly pins the
# dedicated deploy key the workflow installs. Applies to both `nix copy` and
# the activation SSH.
# Path-free ssh options only. The key path and known_hosts are runner-specific
# and injected by the deploy.yml via deploy-rs `--ssh-opts` (which appends to
# this list for both `nix copy` and the activation SSH). They must be absolute:
# the gitea-runner is a systemd DynamicUser whose passwd home is `/`, so ssh
# expands `~` to `/.ssh/...` (NOT $HOME) and a tilde here finds no key. The
# workflow builds the absolute paths from $HOME, where bash expands correctly.
# `-F none` ignores the runner's ~/.ssh/config; IdentitiesOnly pins the key.
