The live /usr/local/bin/lotus_deploy.sh (the `lotus-deploy` webhook target) was
never under version control and had rotted into two deploy-killing bugs that
froze chat.lotusguild.org on an old build:
1. CI gate: it waited on the WHOLE workflow run with a 15-min cap. Web CI shares
the single act_runner with the slow Tauri desktop builds, so a web run could
sit queued >15 min -> "result: timeout" -> deploy aborted. Now it gates only
on the "Build & Quality Checks" commit-status context (build + unit tests),
decoupled from "Trigger Desktop Build", and waits up to 45 min.
2. Dead element-call copy: `cp node_modules/@element-hq/element-call-embedded/...`
under `set -e` aborted every deploy after the widget was forked to
@lotusguild/element-call-embedded. The build already emits dist/public/
element-call; replaced the copy with a presence check.
Also: rsync now excludes config.json so the app deploy stops clobbering the
production runtime config (homeserver list / allowCustomHomeservers) that the
matrix repo owns. lxc106-cinny.sh now installs this script (syntax-checked).
