Missing dll on Azure App Service deployment

I'm trying to deploy my web API to Azure App Service, using code deployment to Linux server from GitHub actions

The solution has this structure (not its actual solution name, I can't reveal that part)
/AppAPI
    AppAPI.sln
    /Api
        Api.csproj
    /Data
        Data.csproj
/AppAPI
    AppAPI.sln
    /Api
        Api.csproj
    /Data
        Data.csproj

(Yes, weird, I know, but I can't change it now)

The solution builds and deploys to AAS just fine, but gives this error in the logs:
The application 'AppAPI.dll' does not exist.
The application 'AppAPI.dll' does not exist.


Which is not correct as the publish output assemblies are
Api.dll
Api.dll
and
Data.dll
Data.dll

Then, I went to the configuration panel and added
dotnet Api.dll
dotnet Api.dll
as the startup command, and re-ran the app, which then gives me:
The application 'Api.dll' does not exist.
The application 'Api.dll' does not exist.


Opening AAS's host SSH console shows that
Api.dll
Api.dll
does exist in
~/site/wwwroot
~/site/wwwroot
(which also looks identical to the local publish output), so I truly have no idea what is happening, and would greatly appreciate any help
