provide more execution context to rsconnect deployment hooks

[malcook]

These hooks has limited knowledge of its execution context. Specifically, I understand from reading rsconnectOptions documentation and the source code that functions named by these options are called with a single argument, being the appDir.

I would like my rsconnect.post.deploy hook function to somehow determine more of the execution context, specifically the path to the deployment record (.dcf) file.

Can this be made possible somehow?

I have also raised this issue in posit a forum post and with Posit support, who advised me that this would make a good feature request here.
