fix(audit-3): restore the decode allocation guard, route /health in production

Third round. The decode allocation guard is a regression from round 1: swapping
reader.decode() for into_decoder() silently dropped the max_alloc enforcement
while keeping the comment that claimed it held.

Squashed from 3 commits, original messages preserved below.

──────── fix(imaging): restore the decode allocation guard I removed in round 1

This is a regression I introduced, not a pre-existing gap. Before 05948d8 the
compression worker used `ImageReader::decode()`, which does:

    let mut decoder = Self::make_decoder(format, self.inner, limits.clone())?;
    limits.reserve(decoder.total_bytes())?;   // enforces max_alloc
    decoder.set_limits(limits)?;

Reading the EXIF orientation tag needs `into_decoder()` instead, and that skips
the reserve entirely — the crate's own FIXME concedes `from_decoder` doesn't
compensate. Nothing else enforces `max_alloc`: the JPEG decoder's `set_limits`
only checks support and dimensions. So the 256 MiB budget has been inert since
that commit, and round 2 then propagated the weakened path into export.rs through
the shared helper, in a commit whose message claimed the helper "carries" the
decompression-bomb cap. It didn't, and the comment saying max_alloc "hard-caps
the decode allocation" was simply false.

What was left was only the per-axis cap, which permits 12000x12000 — 412 MiB
decoded, 824 MiB for the two concurrent decodes the worker runs by default,
against a 1 GiB container. Deploy-blocking right now because bumping
DERIVATIVES_REV makes the first boot after a deploy re-decode the entire gallery
two at a time: an OOM kill there restarts the container, which re-runs the
backfill. A boot loop, on the first deploy of these fixes.

Re-add the reserve exactly as `decode()` does it. Per the budget decision it stays
at 256 MiB (~89 MP for RGB8, above any mainstream phone's real output); two
concurrent decodes now peak at 512 MiB. Oversized images take the graceful path
from round 1 — original retained, quota refunded, upload-error toast — and fail
after the header parse but BEFORE any pixels are read, so they cost a header read
rather than an allocation. Measured peak during a concurrent oversized burst: 3.0
MiB.

Test parity is the other half, and the reason this was invisible: the e2e app
container had NO memory limit while production is capped at 1 GiB, so a decode
that would OOM-kill production simply succeeded in CI. Mirror the 1 GiB cap in
docker-compose.test.yml. That is the third divergence of this shape, after WebKit
missing from CI and /health existing only in Caddyfile.test.

Tests: a fixture that is 568 KiB on disk and 283 MiB decoded (11000x9000 = 99 MP,
deliberately UNDER the per-axis cap so the axis check cannot be what rejects it).
A unit test asserts the refusal — it fails against the old code, which decoded it
into an 11000x9000 buffer — with a companion asserting an ordinary photo still
decodes AND still gets its orientation applied, so the guard didn't become a
blanket refusal. An e2e test uploads it singly and as a concurrent pair, asserting
compression lands in 'failed' and the backend is still serving and still
processing afterwards.

──────── fix(deploy): route /health in production, and actually apply Caddyfile changes

Two defects in the update procedure I wrote last round, both of which make a
successful-looking deploy a lie.

1. The documented health check could never pass.

`curl -fsS https://DOMAIN/health` 404s against a perfectly healthy production
stack. The backend registers /health on its ROOT router, not under /api/v1, and
the production Caddyfile proxies only /api/* and /media/* — so /health fell
through to the SvelteKit catch-all, which has no such route and returns its 404
page. With -f, curl exits 22 and the `&& echo` never runs. My own gloss
("Anything other than ok means check the logs") then sent the operator chasing a
phantom outage.

e2e/Caddyfile.test has carried `reverse_proxy /health app:3000` since it was
written — precisely because the catch-all would otherwise swallow it. Production
never did. Per the fix-the-gap-not-the-doc call, production gets the same line,
and /health joins the no-store matcher so a cached response can't report the last
known state instead of the current one. Verified by running the production
Caddyfile against the real backend: /health -> 200 "ok", Cache-Control: no-store,
with /api/v1/event and / unaffected.

2. The sequence never reloaded Caddy, so a Caddyfile-only change was dropped.

`--build` only rebuilds services with a `build:` section, and caddy is a pinned
upstream image. Compose decides whether to recreate a container from its config
hash, which covers the mount SPECIFICATION but not the mounted file's CONTENTS —
so a git pull that changes ./Caddyfile produces no delta, Compose reports
`Running`, and Caddy serves its old config indefinitely. Exit code 0 throughout.

Round 1's iOS download fix (137c4ee) is exactly this shape: Caddyfile plus four
e2e files, so 100% of its production effect is in that one file. Following the
README to the letter deployed it, showed both image IDs changing, and left iOS
downloads broken.

Demonstrated rather than assumed — added a probe header to a Caddyfile, ran the
old sequence (`up -d --build`): header absent, change silently dropped. Ran the
new step 4 (`up -d --force-recreate caddy`): header served.

`--force-recreate` rather than `restart` or `caddy reload` because the bind mount
is resolved to an inode at container-create time and git pull replaces the file
rather than editing in place, so a restart can re-read the stale content — the
exact failure I hit in round 1 when `caddy reload` didn't pick up an edit.

Also rewrites the "db and caddy are untouched … so data volumes survive" sentence.
I wrote it as reassurance; "caddy is untouched" was the bug.

──────── chore: take the Bash(*) permission change back out of the shared settings

`.claude/settings.json` is committed and applies to anyone who clones. Fabi's
local `allow: ["Bash(*)"]` plus deny list ended up in it, inside f0d69f1 — a
commit about the image decode guard, which has nothing to do with permissions.

That was my mistake, twice. The file was already modified when I started the
round: my `git status --short` check printed "(clean)" from an unconditional
`echo` rather than from the status output, so I read a dirty tree as clean. Then
`git add -A` swept it into an unrelated commit, and I reported afterwards that I
had left it untouched. Neither the check nor the claim was true.

Restores the shared file to its previous three narrow entries. The permission
setup itself is preserved, moved to `.claude/settings.local.json`, which
`.gitignore:34` covers precisely so per-user permissions stay per-user — the
existing 442 entries there are kept alongside it.

Not rewriting f0d69f1 to erase this: main is unpushed so it would be safe, but a
visible correction is worth more than a tidy history, and a rebase across the
merge commits carries more risk than the mistake does.
