Problem

Using plaintext in a template's frontmatter where you've also specified a different destination filename via permalink doesn't produce a renamed txt file. It only applies the permalink configuration to the html output.

Steps

1. Configure plaintext in your maizzle config to produce html and plaintext templates:

   /** @type {import('@maizzle/framework').Config} */
   module.exports = {
   build: {
   posthtml: {
     options: {
       decodeEntities: true,
       replaceQuote: false,
     },
   },
   browsersync: {},
   templates: {
     source: "src/templates",
     plaintext: {
       skipHtmlDecoding: true,
       destination: {
         path: "build_local",
         extension: "txt",
       },
     },
     destination: {
       path: "build_local",
     },
     omit: ["src/**/.archive/*"],
     assets: [
       {
         destination: "images",
         source: "src/images",
       },
     ],
   },
   },
   };

2. Add empty production config

   
   /*
   |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   | Production config                       https://maizzle.com/docs/environments
   |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   |
   | This is where you define settings that optimize your emails for production.
   | These will be merged on top of the base config.js, so you only need to
   | specify the options that are changing.
   |
   */

// since the base config is merged in with this during production builds // and our base config uses env vars for configuring, we don't need overrides for production module.exports = {};

3. Create a `testing.html` template and configure `permalink` and `plaintext` in its frontmatter:
```html
---
permalink: permalink_testing_build/permalink-override.html
plaintext: true
---

<x-main>
  <h1>Permalink + Plaintext Reproduction</h1>
  <p>This template ends up in permalink_testing_build/permalink-override.html</p>
  <p>its plaintext version ends up living in build_local/testing.txt, though</p>
</x-main>

4. Run a production build maizzle build production

5. Observe permalink-override.html at the provided permalink path and a testing.txt file in the original build_local directory

This will be fixed in 5.0.0, unfortunately I don't have enough time to also fix it in v4.x sorry!
