Description

scenario: you have a trellis site with let's encrypt that's already live and you need to provision a new server

problem: let's encrypt cert issuing will fail since DNS isn't yet pointed to the new server

solution: temporarily copy the let's encrypt certs from the live site and use them on the new server until DNS is updated

Research direction

Start by tracing the CLI's existing server provisioning flow and how it handles Let's Encrypt certificates. The change should support temporarily copying certificates from the live site to the new server until DNS points there, while preserving normal certificate issuing afterward.
