A recursive "**" in project.render overpowers any "!" negation, so Quarto rendered skill.md -> skill.html despite the !skill.md exclusion. The stray skill.html was then deleted in post-render, which crashed `build --watch` when Quarto tried to hash the missing file (posit-dev#228). Seed project.render with Quarto's default input globs instead of "**" so the !skill.md (and custom-page) exclusions take effect while still matching files recursively. Remove the now-dead post-render workarounds that deleted skill.html and rewrote its links. fixes posit-dev#228

The PR addresses
skill.mdbeing rendered into the docs site despite the!skill.mdexclusion inproject.render, because a recursive**glob overpowers any!negation that follows it. For example, withrender: ["**", "!skill.md"]Quarto still renderedskill.md→skill.html; a post-render step then deleted that strayskill.html, which crashedgreat-docs build --watchwhen Quarto's file monitor tried to hash the now-missing file (#228).This PR seeds
project.renderwith Quarto's default input globsinstead of
**, so the!skill.mdexclusion — and the analogous custom-page exclusions — actually take effect while still matching files recursively (subdirectory pages likeuser_guide/*.qmdcontinue to render).With
skill.mdno longer rendered, it also removes the now-dead post-render workarounds that deletedskill.htmland rewrote its links, soskill.mdis served directly as a resource and the watch build no longer crashes.fixes #228
