The production host runs cPanel, which already owns ports 80/443 for
other sites on the box -- there's no Traefik there. docker-compose.prod.yml
now binds the api container to 127.0.0.1:8000 only; the host's own
Apache/LiteSpeed (via cPanel) reverse-proxies api.amdbs.net to it and
terminates TLS itself (AutoSSL). Dropped the external traefik-public
network requirement and Traefik labels entirely.

Also corrected a separate latent inaccuracy while touching this: a bare
`docker compose up` (not `docker stack deploy`) never actually honored
deploy.replicas -- docs now say so and point at `--scale` instead of
implying free multi-replica scaling that was never really happening.

README's Production deployment section rewritten with concrete steps:
Cloudflare DNS record, cPanel subdomain + reverse proxy, then compose up.
