## Summary
While cleaning this up I noticed the script **defined** `purge_cdn_cache()` but never **called** it. Every CI run only declared the helper and exited cleanly without issuing a single curl. The PACKAGES freshness on cran.devxy.io / cran.rpkgs.com has been carried entirely by R's `Cache-Control: no-cache` header on the index files.
Fixes in one shot:
1. **Actually run the purge.** The shifted args (`api_key`, `arch`, `os_id`, `domain…`) are now consumed inline and a curl POST is issued per (domain × resource).
2. **Drop `set -x`** — leaked the `AccessKey:` header into job logs.
3. **Drop the Python URL-encoder.** `curl -G --data-urlencode "url=…" --data "async=false" https://api.bunny.net/purge` does the same with no Python. The workflow purge steps can later switch from `alpine:3.23 + apk add bash curl` to a slimmer curl-only image.
4. **Add `src/contrib/Meta/archive.rds`** to the purged resource list. It's rewritten on every `process_cran_updates` run (see README) and was being served stale.
## Risks
- This is the **first time** the script actually purges anything. If anything else (e.g. a downstream service) relied on the no-op behavior, this PR is the moment it stops being silent. I don't see any such caller.
- Edge cache miss right after a purge means an origin S3 fetch — minor latency uptick on the first request per region per resource.
