Apply .posit/publish config Connect-side settings: post-deploy hook + `rsconnect sync`

[mconflitti-pbc]

Summary

Follow-up to #830. That PR made rsconnect-python read/write Posit Publisher's
.posit/publish TOML, drive bundling from a config's files, and propagate
integration_requests into manifest.json. What it does not do is apply the
config's Connect-side settings — the fields that Publisher applies through the
Connect API after upload rather than through manifest.json.

Today those fields (description, connect.runtime.*, connect.access.*,
connect.kubernetes.*, environment, secrets) are round-tripped and preserved
in the config, but a rsconnect deploy/redeploy from a Publisher-authored config
silently does not apply them to the content. This issue tracks closing that gap
in two pieces:

1. A post-deploy hook that applies the config's Connect-side settings after a
   successful deploy (mirroring Publisher).
2. A rsconnect sync command that applies the current TOML settings to
   already-deployed content ad hoc, without rebuilding/redeploying a bundle —
   for when a user edits the config and just wants Connect updated.

Where each config field is applied (reference: Posit Publisher)

Publisher builds the manifest from the config, then makes two kinds of API calls.
Verified in the publisher repo:
extensions/vscode/src/bundler/{manifestFromConfig,connectContentFromConfig}.ts
and extensions/vscode/src/publish/{connectPublish,publishShared}.ts.

type, entrypoint, python, quarto, r, jupyter, has_parameters	manifest.json	✅ (from inspection)
integration_requests	manifest.json	✅ propagated in #830
title	PATCH /v1/content/{guid}	✅ (already applied via executor)
description	PATCH /v1/content/{guid}	❌ not applied
connect.runtime.*	PATCH /v1/content/{guid}	❌ not applied
connect.access.*	PATCH /v1/content/{guid}	❌ not applied
connect.kubernetes.*	PATCH /v1/content/{guid}	❌ not applied
environment (env-var map)	env-var API (setEnvVars)	⚠️ CLI path exists, not sourced from config
secrets	env-var API (setEnvVars, merged; secrets override)	❌ not applied

Fields to apply via PATCH /v1/content/{guid}

Built by Publisher's connectContentFromConfig:

• metadata: title, description (Connect rejects description > 4096 chars)
• runtime (connect.runtime.*): connection_timeout, read_timeout,
  init_timeout, idle_timeout, max_processes, min_processes,
  max_conns_per_process, load_factor
• access (connect.access.*): run_as, run_as_current_user
• kubernetes (connect.kubernetes.*): memory_request, memory_limit,
  cpu_request, cpu_limit, amd_gpu_limit, nvidia_gpu_limit,
  service_account_name, default_image_name,
  default_r_environment_management, default_py_environment_management

Fields to apply via the env-var API

• environment (non-secret name→value map) is read straight from the config
  and set on the content.

• secrets — follow Publisher's model exactly. The config's secrets array
  holds secret names only; values are never stored in the TOML or anywhere
  on disk. Publisher keeps values in-memory in its webview for the session, does
  not persist them (only credentials/Snowflake tokens use VS Code SecretStorage),
  and re-prompts (names reload with empty values) on the next session. At publish
  it sends only the names the user actually filled in, merges them over
  environment via mergeEnvVars (secret values win on key collision), sets them
  on the content flagged as secret (encrypted/masked), and omits any
  declared name with no value (it never sends empty values).

  CLI analogue (the faithful equivalent of Publisher's per-session entry): at
  deploy/sync time, source each declared secret's value ad hoc — from the
  process environment ($NAME) and/or explicit --secret NAME=VALUE flags — never
  from a file. Merge over environment (secret wins), set flagged as secret, and
  skip any declared name with no supplied value (warn, don't fail). rsconnect
  already has an env-var code path (--environment / executor env_vars) to reuse
  for the actual set call.

Part 1 — Post-deploy hook

Goal: after a successful Connect/SPCS deploy that has an applicable
.posit/publish config, apply that config's Connect-side settings to the deployed
content.

Design sketch:

• Add a RSConnectClient method for the content-settings PATCH
  (PATCH v1/content/{guid}) if one does not already exist, plus reuse the existing
  env-var setter.
• Add a builder in rsconnect/publisher/ that maps a PublisherConfig to the
  content-settings payload (the rsconnect analogue of connectContentFromConfig)
  and to the merged env-var map (analogue of mergeEnvVars). Read connect.*,
  environment, secrets, description from the config (they currently live in
  PublisherConfig.extra; consider promoting to managed fields).
• Call it from RSConnectExecutor after wait_for_task completes, gated to
  Connect/SPCS (same gate as _save_publisher_metadata), best-effort (warn,
  don't fail the deploy — the bundle already deployed).

Validation / edge cases (mirror Publisher's preflight):

• Runtime settings are invalid on static content → skip/warn.
• Validate min_processes <= max_processes; clamp/validate *_request <= *_limit;
  respect server scheduler.*_limit maxima where discoverable.
• run_as / service_account_name require admin; run_as_current_user and
  Kubernetes require server license/config — surface a clear warning when the
  server rejects, rather than aborting.
• secrets: follow Publisher's model (see the env-var section above) — names live
  in the TOML, values are sourced ad hoc at run time ($NAME / --secret NAME=VALUE), never persisted; unset names are skipped, not sent empty; supplied
  values are set flagged as secret and override environment on key collision.
• No-op cleanly when the config declares none of these fields.

Part 2 — rsconnect sync command

Goal: apply the TOML config's Connect-side settings to already-deployed content
ad hoc, without rebuilding or redeploying a bundle. This is the "I edited the
config, push the settings to Connect" path.

Behavior:

• rsconnect sync [PATH] — PATH defaults to the current directory, like
  redeploy.
• Resolves the applicable .posit/publish config (single, --config-name, or
  entrypoint match) and the target content GUID from the matching deployment
  record.
• Server targeting: accept --server/--name/--api-key; when none are
  given, default to the server in the config / deployment record, resolving a
  saved rsconnect-python credential by normalized URL (reuse
  _find_saved_server_by_url, as redeploy does).
• Applies exactly the Part 1 post-deploy hook logic against the resolved content —
  no bundle build, no upload, no new deployment record (though it may refresh
  the record's timestamp/settings snapshot; TBD).
• Errors clearly if there is no deployment record (nothing to sync to) and no
  destination was supplied.

Shared code: Part 1 and Part 2 must call the same
config→(content-settings + env-vars)→API applier so behavior can't drift.

Acceptance criteria

• A config's description, connect.runtime.*, connect.access.*, and
  connect.kubernetes.* are applied to the content on deploy/redeploy
  (Connect/SPCS only), best-effort.
• A config's environment is applied as env vars on deploy/redeploy.
• secrets follow Publisher's model: names only in the TOML; values sourced ad
  hoc ($NAME / --secret NAME=VALUE), never persisted; unset names skipped;
  supplied values set flagged as secret and overriding environment on
  collision.
• rsconnect sync [PATH] applies the same settings ad hoc to already-deployed
  content, with no bundle rebuild.
• sync targets the config/record server by default and honors
  --server/--name/--api-key overrides.
• Server-side validation failures (limits, licensing, admin-only) warn clearly
  without corrupting the deploy.
• Tests cover the config→payload mapping, the deploy hook, and sync
  (including default vs. explicit server targeting).
• CHANGELOG updated.
