Downloaded and extracted artifact is not showing in repo

[COTAWebmaster]

Perhaps I am missing something, but following along with what documentation there is I am unable to get downloaded artifacts to show in my target repo.

The run results look successful, and inflates the items:

Run dawidd6/action-download-artifact@v6
  with:
    name: dist_assets
    github_token: ***
    repo: my-org/control-repo
    run_id: 11690180261
    workflow_search: false
    workflow_conclusion: success
    name_is_regexp: false
    path: ./
    allow_forks: false
    check_artifacts: false
    search_artifacts: false
    skip_unpack: false
    if_no_artifact_found: fail
==> Repository: my-org/control-repo

==> Workflow conclusion: success
==> Allow forks: false
==> Artifact: 2148824413
==> Downloading: dist_assets.zip (3.45 MB)
==> Extracting: dist_assets.zip

This is the workflow YAML file for the target repo:

on:
  # Listen to a repository dispatch event by the name of `dispatch-event`
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [dispatch-event]
    workflow_dispatch:
    repository_dispatch: 
jobs:
  get_assets_and_deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v4.2.2
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.client_payload.ref }}
      - run: |
          echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.sha }} && echo ${{ github.event.client_payload.run_id }}

      - name: Get assets
        uses: dawidd6/action-download-artifact@v6 
        with:
          name: dist_assets
          github_token: ${{ secrets.THEME_WORKFLOW_TOKEN }} # token with actions:read permissions on target repo
          repo: my-org/control-repo
          run_id: ${{ github.event.client_payload.run_id }}

And this is the YAML file for the control repo:

    - name: 'Upload Artifact'
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: dist_assets
        path: web/app/themes/custom/dist/

    - name: Repository Dispatch
      uses: peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v3
      with:
        token: ${{ secrets.THEME_WORKFLOW_TOKEN }}
        repository: my-org/target-repo
        event-type: dispatch-event
        client-payload: '{"ref": "${{ github.ref }}", "sha": "${{ github.sha }}", "run_id": "${{ github.run_id }}"}'

Everything appears to be working except for the unzipped items not appearing in the target repo. Am I missing something?

The artifact is able to be manually downloaded from the control repo and shows that the zip file is correct.

It turns out that I have to git add . and then commit and push to the repo to get the artifacts to appear.
