Summary

When text or article files change and are deployed via the webhook (deploy.php → git pull), the updated files should be automatically re-uploaded to the Gemini File Search store so the Bible assistant stays current.

Current State

~/upload-updv.sh uploads all 67 text files + articles to the file search store
Must be run manually via SSH after any text/article change
Re-uploading is idempotent (overwrites existing files)

Proposed Approach

In deploy.php, after git pull:

Run git diff --name-only HEAD~1 HEAD to detect changed files
For each changed file in text/ or articles/, upload to the file search store via curl
Log results

Considerations

Only upload changed files (not all 72) to minimize API calls
Handle new files (additions) and deleted files
Article files need article- prefix when uploading
PDFs are uploaded separately and rarely change — no need to automate those yet
