Close documentation-plan findings 1-3 and part of 10: panel operations
guide, two-level rate limits, public env table with TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR
warning, and compose wiring for the proxy CIDR variable.

The PTR check reported a correctly published record as wrong. The lookups
went through the container's resolver (127.0.0.11) which forwards to the
host's systemd-resolved, and systemd-resolved synthesises the reverse
lookup of the machine's own addresses from the local hostname rather than
asking public DNS. On the production host that meant
203.0.113.10 -> provider-assigned-hostname (does not match)
while public DNS has had 203.0.113.10 -> selfpost.example.com all along.
These checks exist to report what a receiving mail server sees, so they
now dial recursive resolvers themselves, defaulting to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8
and 9.9.9.9 and overridable with SELFPOST_DNS_RESOLVERS. The e2e stand
sets it to its CoreDNS, which the `dns:` directive alone no longer covers.

Unset or malformed hostname makes the panel and Postfix diverge on SASL
realm silently (auth breaks for every application) and breaks HELO/PTR
matching (spam), so entrypoint.sh now exits before postfix-config.sh /
supervisord with an explanatory error, plus a syntax check rejecting
missing dots, schemes, ports, and whitespace.

Sessions move from an in-memory map (absolute 12h TTL) to a `sessions`
table (migration 0002), storing only the SHA-256 of the token. Expiry is
now a sliding idle window (PANEL_SESSION_IDLE_DAYS, default 7, no
absolute cap), extended at most once an hour and never by the
monitoring screens' background polling (GET + HX-Request), so a
forgotten open tab doesn't keep a session alive indefinitely. A login
now survives a container restart or redeploy.

Resolves plan item A.1 (option б): login/setup rate-limiting used
RemoteAddr only, which behind the default reverse proxy is the proxy's own
address, making the limiter effectively global and enabling a lockout-DoS.
Now, when the request's direct peer matches the new TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR list
(comma-separated CIDRs, env, empty by default), the last X-Forwarded-For
entry is used instead, giving a real per-client limit. Unset behaviour is
unchanged.

supervisord runs as root inside the container but cap_drop: ALL still
blocked it from signaling opendkim (a different uid) — cross-uid
kill() checks CAP_KILL regardless of the caller's uid. Domain add was
failing in prod with "unknown problem sending sig opendkim ...
PermissionError: Operation not permitted".
Bringing up the production Apache stack for real surfaced a latent bug
in the Phase 10 hardening: cap_drop: ALL with only NET_BIND_SERVICE/
CHOWN/SETUID/SETGID/DAC_OVERRIDE left the root startup phase unable to
chmod the /data dirs it had just chowned to the panel user (needs
CAP_FOWNER) or set their setgid bit (needs CAP_FSETID). The container
crash-looped on "chmod: Operation not permitted". Phase 10 never caught
this because its compose up hit a port conflict before full boot.
Add FOWNER and FSETID to cap_add and document what each capability is
for. Verified: container now starts clean under the hardened compose.

- deploy/docker-compose.yml: pinned-tag ghcr image, hardened (cap_drop ALL +
minimal cap_add, no-new-privileges, panel bound to 127.0.0.1 only). Apache
itself runs on the host (spec 10.5), fragment at deploy/apache/.
- Alternative reverse-proxy fragments: nginx (+certbot sidecar), Caddy
(automatic ACME), Traefik (+acme.json PEM extraction script).
- .github/workflows/release.yml: tag-triggered ghcr.io publish, version piped
from the git tag into both the binary ldflags and the image tag (spec 10.1).
- Closed a gap from Phase 1: logrotate was installed but never invoked;
wired up build/logrotate-mail.conf + logrotate-loop.sh + a supervisor
program (copytruncate, since postlogd holds mail.log open with nothing to
signal on rotation).
- README rewritten: site requirements checklist, reverse-proxy comparison,
DNS setup (server- vs domain-level), IP warmup, backup/restore vs domain
export/import, fixed-tag rationale, machine requirements.
