Motivation for the change, related issues

Adds deployment infrastructure for the Personal Playground at my.wordpress.net, as part of the Personal Playground initiative tracked in #3174.

Personal Playground is a user-focused version of WordPress Playground that provides a simpler experience for end users who want their own persistent WordPress site in the browser.

Implementation details

New deployment workflow (.github/workflows/deploy-my-wordpress-net.yml):

  • Builds playground-personal-wp package
  • Deploys to my.wordpress.net via SSH/rsync
  • Reuses the existing website-deployment/ scripts (no duplication needed)
  • Runs on manual trigger or scheduled Tuesdays at 11am UTC (same as playground.wordpress.net)
  • Requires new GitHub environment my-wordpress-net-wp-cloud with deployment secrets

Updated README (packages/playground/personal-wp/README.md):

  • Documents Personal Playground's purpose and how it differs from playground.wordpress.net
  • Lists features: persistent OPFS storage, welcome plugin, app catalog, backup reminders, health check recovery, multi-tab coordination
  • Includes development commands, build output, and deployment instructions

Required setup before first deployment:

  1. Create GitHub environment my-wordpress-net-wp-cloud
  2. Add secrets:
    • DEPLOY_MY_WORDPRESS_NET_HOST_KEY
    • DEPLOY_MY_WORDPRESS_NET_PRIVATE_KEY
    • DEPLOY_MY_WORDPRESS_NET_USER
    • DEPLOY_MY_WORDPRESS_NET_HOST
  3. Set CORS_PROXY_URL variable

Testing Instructions (or ideally a Blueprint)

  1. Verify the workflow YAML is valid: npx yaml-lint .github/workflows/deploy-my-wordpress-net.yml
  2. Build the package locally: npx nx build playground-personal-wp
  3. Review the README for accuracy
  4. After merging, set up the GitHub environment and secrets, then trigger the workflow manually to test deployment

This looks good to me, @akirk!

As part of reviewing this PR, I created the my-wordpress-net-wp-cloud environment and configured its secrets and variables.

When you are ready, we can trigger a deploy using this PR branch. Once we are done testing and ready to merge, we can add branch protections to this new GH Actions environment so deploys can only come from trunk.

What if we delayed this deployment one day to give any problems a chance to shake out with playground.wordpress.net? my.wordpress.net may be more personal to folks, and it might be good to shelter it from the risk of new deployments by letting playground.wordpress.net go first. What do you think?

Ok, I'll do this myself. I don't think a new PR is necessary :)
