Puzzle Overview

Platform engineering rolled out a small bash deploy helper that writes an nginx vhost for TaskFlow and reloads the web server. After the last change — supporting multiple server names — every deploy leaves nginx broken.

The script is at `/usr/local/bin/taskflow-deploy.sh`. Something about how it expands `SERVER_NAMES` is producing an invalid site config. Your job is to find the quoting/word-splitting bug, fix the script, and re-run it so nginx serves TaskFlow for `Host: taskflow.local`.
