A push fires the web deploy and the app build at the same instant, and on commit
b03fb25 the second SSH session to Gitea came back with "Failed to update public
key" 32 seconds in. The pull succeeded by hand immediately afterwards, so it was
contention between the two runs rather than anything about the code — but the job
had already failed and emailed "App build FAILED".
The pull is now attempted three times with a pause between, and only gives up
after the third. It is the one step here that depends on another machine being
responsive at a moment we do not control, so it is the one worth retrying.
The point is not the build: a false failure alert is what teaches you to ignore
the alert, and an ignored alert is how the off-site backup sat dead for eight days
without anyone noticing.
