Description

See the changes we need to make at https://github.com/posit-dev/connect-actions/pull/61 to prevent the error from happening. But IIUC, we should be able to treat rsconnect deploy quarto file.qmd and rsconnect deploy quarto --entrypoint file.qmd as equivalent such that we could always accept --entrypoint and not need to special case quarto. Even while allowing the special case of no --entrypoint for quarto docs that point to the doc itself.

Research direction

Start by tracing the rsconnect deploy command and its quarto argument handling, then review the behavior referenced in connect-actions pull request 61. Done means rsconnect deploy quarto file.qmd and rsconnect deploy quarto --entrypoint file.qmd behave equivalently, while quarto documents may still omit --entrypoint when appropriate.
