.htaccess is overwritten on cap deploy

My Bedrock capistrano deploy overwrites my .htaccess with a blank file that looks like this

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

I had complete .htaccess in my shared folder and have a
set :linked_files, fetch(:linked_files, []).push('.env', 'web/.htaccess') my deploy.rb
is this wrong? where is this blank .htaccess coming from?
