build: stage packages outside temp dirs

[MikkoParkkola]

Summary

• copy packaged release artifacts into dist/ before cleanup
• remove temporary package-build/ output after packaging
• clear musl target intermediates after the package recipe completes

Notes

• release artifacts that may be used in production are preserved
• cleanup only targets debug and intermediate build artifacts by default

Validation

• just --list
• git diff --check

Pull request overview

Stages Linux packaging outputs into a persistent dist/ directory before cleaning up temporary build directories, so release artifacts survive cleanup while intermediates are removed.

Changes:

• Add a dist/ staging directory and copy packaged artifacts from package-build/ into it.
• Remove package-build/ after packaging completes.
• Clean the musl target build artifacts after packaging.

[Copilot]

just package now creates a top-level dist/ directory and leaves packaged artifacts there, but dist/ is not currently ignored (see .gitignore only ignores /target and /package-build). This will consistently dirty the working tree and increases the risk of accidentally committing release artifacts. Consider adding /dist (or /dist/*) to .gitignore, or writing artifacts under an already-ignored build output directory.

Suggested change

	mkdir -p dist
	find package-build -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'mquire-*' -exec cp -f {} dist/ \;
	mkdir -p target/dist
	find package-build -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'mquire-*' -exec cp -f {} target/dist/ \;

[Copilot]

The find ... -exec cp ... \; form spawns a separate cp process for each matched artifact. If multiple packages are produced (e.g., TGZ + RPM + DEB), consider batching with -exec ... + (or an equivalent approach) to reduce process overhead.

Suggested change

	find package-build -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'mquire-*' -exec cp -f {} dist/ \;
	find package-build -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'mquire-*' -exec cp -f -t dist/ {} +

Hello @MikkoParkkola,

I'm not sure I understand the reason the packaging code path is being changed this way. I'm going to close this PR for now, but feel free to open an issue with a blueprint for the change you'd like to propose so it can be further discussed

Thanks!
