Publishing action ignores updated post dates

[manciniedoardo]

What happened?

Quarto action for publishing should work as follows:

• Run update_post_dates, so that date on most recent post updated to date of merge
• Run quarto_publish to publish blog

As is stands now, when quarto_publish runs, it ignores the most recent commit where the post dates are updated, and the only way to fix this is to abort the publish action and add another commit.

We've tried separating the update_post_dates and publish workflows but no dice!

@manciniedoardo should we just purge this from the publishing action?

We can, though:

• We'd need to change the documentation and code around creating a new blog post as well because currently new posts are prefixed with zzz_DO_NOT_EDIT and the documentation refers to this also
• It is a bit of a shame because the action itself works, it's just the timing that is off.

Wish someone could help out and fix the timing instead!
