Summary

Fixes the "isn't yet tracked by git, dates will be inaccurate" warnings by using Quartz's -d docs flag instead of symlinking.

Problem

The previous approach symlinked content -> docs, but git doesn't follow symlinks. When Quartz asked git about content/index.md, git had no history for that path.

Solution

Use npx quartz build -d docs to tell Quartz to read from docs/ directly. Now when Quartz asks git about docs/index.md, git finds the actual file history.

CHANGELOG.md is copied (not symlinked) into docs/ for the build, then removed
All other files have accurate git-based dates

Testing

Tested locally - build produces no warnings.

Fix Quartz build to preserve git history for accurate file dates 5eab39b68b

Use -d docs flag instead of symlinking content directory. This allows
git to find file history at the correct paths (docs/...) instead of
the symlinked paths (content/...) which have no history.
