Render Quarto `.qmd` slides to HTML and sync to `docs/` for GitHub Pages. Use when user says "deploy", "publish the slides", "ship to pages", "push the lecture live", "render and publish", or after Quarto edits that need to go public. NOT for local Quarto render only — use `quarto render` directly for that.

Deploy Slides to GitHub Pages
Render Quarto slides and sync all files to docs/ for GitHub Pages deployment.
Steps
Run the sync script:
If $ARGUMENTS is provided (e.g., "Lecture4"): ./scripts/sync_to_docs.sh "$ARGUMENTS"
If no argument: ./scripts/sync_to_docs.sh (syncs all lectures)
Verify deployment:
Check that HTML files exist in docs/slides/
Check that _files/ directories were copied (RevealJS assets)
Check that docs/Figures/ was synced from Figures/
Check that docs/files/code/ contains the R scripts (if scripts/R/ has any)
Verify interactive charts (if applicable):
Grep rendered HTML for interactive widget count
Confirm count matches expected
Verify TikZ SVGs (if applicable):
Check that all referenced SVG files exist in docs/Figures/LectureN/
Open in browser for visual verification:
open docs/slides/LectureX_Name.html # macOS
# xdg-open docs/slides/LectureX_Name.html # Linux
Confirm slides render, images display, navigation works
Report results to the user
What the sync script does:
Renders all .qmd files in Quarto/ (skips *_backup* files)
Copies HTML and _files/ directories to docs/slides/
Copies Beamer PDFs from Slides/ to docs/slides/
Syncs Figures/ to docs/Figures/ using rsync
Copies every scripts/R/*.R into docs/files/code/ (published beside the slides)
