fix: CI/CD blue-green deployment path bug causing stale production content

Root cause: switch-traffic.sh was modifying Traefik config in the CI checkout
directory ($GITHUB_WORKSPACE) instead of the deployment directory ($DEPLOY_PATH).
Additionally, the sed patterns didn't work with multi-line YAML structure.

Changes:
- Add DEPLOY_PATH environment variable support to all CI scripts
- Add --force-recreate flag to ensure containers are recreated with new images
- Fix weight update to use awk for reliable multi-line YAML editing
- Add scripts/ directory to rsync so SREs can run scripts from /opt/motovaultpro
- Add image verification step to confirm containers use expected images
- Add weight verification to confirm Traefik routing was updated
- Add routing validation step to verify traffic switch succeeded

 *** CONTEXT ***
 - Read README.md CLAUDE.md and AI-INDEX.md and follow relevant instructions to understand this code repository in the context of this change. 
-- The current deployment does not take into account no downtime or miniimal downtime updates.
+- The staging site runs on staging.motovaultpro.com and production runs on motovaultpro.com
-- The same runner's build the software that run the software
+- These sites are local so use an MCP that will work with local sites to gather a snapshot.
-- There needs to be a balance of uptime and complexity
+- Example: Staging has the correct title in About Us "Built by enthusiasts. Made for your collection."
-- production will run on a single server to start
+- Exaxmple: Production has the old title in About us "Overall, our goal is to meet each individual's needs with quality, passion, and professionalism."
 
 *** ACTION - CHANGES TO IMPLEMENT ***
 - Research this code base and ask iterative questions to compile a complete plan.
 - We will pair plan this. Ask me for options for various levels of redundancy and automation
