deploy: guard prod-only runtime data from rsync --delete

deploy.sh runs 'rsync -az --delete' with no data/ exclude, so a deploy
overwrote the box's runtime file with the local copy and destroyed
everything written since the last deploy. Added a surgical
RSYNC_EXTRA_EXCLUDES for this project's runtime path(s) only, so genuine
build artifacts under data/ keep syncing.

Verified by itemized rsync --dry-run against prod: the runtime file is
listed for transfer WITHOUT the exclude and absent WITH it.

Fleet sweep, TK-11227. Same bug class as the July 2026 artmura/quadrille
mis-target fix and the abramsagency lead-ledger fix (TK-10536).
