In Discord, wallarug reported the following cookiecutter error:
The toJson is an expression inside the GitHub Actions workflow, used as such: ${{ toJson(blah) }}.
The Jinja2 parser is reading the {{ }} as a Jinja template expression, and obviously failing to execute it.
This fixes this by copying the workflow files in .github/ without sending them through the Jinja2 parser. I tested this locally, got no errors, and everything was rendered properly.

_copy_without_render.I really should've spotted this during the Actions PR review. I may have assumed that the
