Problem
abx storage upload <directory> followed by a normal directory deployment does not reuse the prior upload; the deploy command uploads the directory again. This is confusing on IPFS and can duplicate paid permanent storage on Arweave.
Desired outcome
Make the non-reuse behavior explicit and provide a supported reuse workflow if one is intended.
Acceptance criteria
- Warn before or after directory upload that deploy commands will upload their source independently.
- Point users to a supported locator-based workflow when reuse is possible; otherwise state that it is not supported.
- Do not warn for single-file upload intended for
abx attach.
- Add CLI/help tests and update the storage guide.
