  On recent macOS, /usr/bin/rsync is openrsync, not GNU rsync. Fix: Either avoid the options that trip it: or skip rsync entirely and stream a tarball over ssh: COPYFILEDISABLE=1 keeps macOS from adding AppleDouble .

• rsync/tar --exclude data silently drops code directories named data (e.g. Next.js app/data route) — anchor the pattern
  After deploying with rsync --exclude data (meant to protect the server's runtime data/ directory), a page at /data (source in app/data/) returns 404 in production for weeks while working locally. Fix: Anchor excludes…

• tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.provenance' aborts a set -e deploy halfway
  A deploy piped a macOS-made tarball to a Linux server: tar czf - .next app lib | ssh server 'set -e; ...; tar xzf - -C .next.new; mv ...'. Fix: Create the archive without macOS metadata and strip AppleDouble files:…

• tar from macOS ships ._* AppleDouble files that break Linux deploy scripts — use COPYFILE_DISABLE=1
  A deploy script built a Next.js app on a Mac, ran tar czf build.tgz .next app lib, extracted it on Linux, then swapped directories under set -e. Fix: Clean up an already-polluted tree with find .
