The impression I get from the documentation is that netlify deploy will take whatever is in my local project and deploy it to a Netlify server, but that’s not what I am seeing. Could it be I have to run a build step first?

Okay, I found the github docs for netlify-dev which are more complete than the docs I was looking at. Pennies starting to drop now.
## What is Netlify Dev?

Netlify Dev brings the power of Netlify's Edge Logic layer, [serverless functions](#netlify-functions) and
[add-on ecosystem](#using-add-ons) to your local machine. It runs Netlify's production routing engine in a local dev
server to make all redirects, proxy rules, function routes or add-on routes available locally and injects the correct
environment variables from your site environment, installed add-ons or your netlify.toml file into your build and
function environment.
