fix: recreate build symlink on every deploy

store.aljebal-albeedos.com/build must symlink to modular-ecommerce-app/public/build
because the web root and the Laravel app are in separate directories. Without the
symlink, PHP generates URLs from the new manifest but Apache serves from the old
static build in the web root, causing 404s for all assets.

Set DEPLOY_WEBROOT=/home/aljedkrq/store.aljebal-albeedos.com in GitHub secrets.
