Github Sync v2 Import Deletes Workflows in Repo

[brandonjackson]

Issue Report

This issue arose when I was trying to effectively "duplicate" a project. I tried to do this by syncing the original repo to github and then pulling from that in another project.

To Reproduce

• [Note: This occurred on a staging project...noting b/c not sure if this is important!]
• Create project A with workflows
• Create blank repository
• Push project A to repo using GH Sync v2
• Create blank project B
• Pull repo to project B from repo using GH Sync v2

Expected Result

If syncing from one hosted openfn project to another is supported:

• Workflows from project A appear in project B

Else:

• Fail upfront letting me know this isn't possible

Observed Result

• Workflows from project A removed from the repository and not visible in project B

This doesn't seem right at all 🤔 I think it's something in the initial setup.

This is the pull action wot must have done it: https://github.com/OpenFn/simdpg-projects/actions/runs/30521426790/job/90802497373

It looks from the log like the pull action that Commit new state file deleted everything (?) in the repo, and maybe set up the openfn yaml file. It looks like the workflow wasn't actually checked out.

While we describe an openfn -> github sync as "desctructive", that should only be the case with files the sync knows about. In v1 that's the config/state/spec files, and in v2 thats openfn.yaml, .projects and workflows. Anythign else in the repo should be left alone
