ci(deploy): rewrite for build-on-droplet + local runner

- Cover: publisher-style belly band across the lower book cover using a
  compressed banner (2.2MB screenshot -> 60KB WebP, resized to display
  needs), cropped via a width-locked <img> + percentage offset so the
  wordmark stays legible rather than getting zoomed/cropped sideways.
  Compass + wordmark compacted into a row to make room.
- Copy: the theme woven through Field Notes, Contents, the Founding
  Sponsor tier, and one direct FAQ entry -- mostly oblique, since the
  cover already states it explicitly. Hero/Recipe/Capture/Footer left
  untouched on purpose.

+# The whole point of this file is SSH connection reuse. On a workstation whose
+# SSH key lives in a hardware-backed agent (Secretive, a YubiKey, the Secure
+# Enclave), every *new* TCP connection needs a fresh signature — which means a
+# Touch ID prompt. Ansible opens many connections per run and does so
+# non-interactively, so those prompts cannot be answered and the run dies with:
+#
+#     sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed ... agent refused operation
+#
+# Ansible's own defaults make this worse in two ways, both fixed below:
+#
+#   1. It keeps control sockets in ~/.ansible/cp, separate from the ones the
+#      operator's own `ssh` has already authenticated. Pointing it at the same
+#      directory and the same %C naming as OpenSSH means ansible *reuses* a
+#      master connection the operator authorised earlier — no new signature.
+#   2. ControlPersist defaults to 60s, so a master closes between steps of a
+#      deploy and the next one needs another signature.
+#
+# Together: authenticate once at the start of a work session, then deploy
