Split hosts: media (gateway at /), files, clips, sync; live gains /dock, /dock/clock, /dump, /me, /time

configure.py: three new host roles (files/sync/clips) in --full, --hosts, .env, Caddy generator; main host serves about/ at the root (/about* redirects); /time only where it is fetched same-origin. about/index.html links across hosts; addCommunityMediaServer.sh asks for the new names; Caddyfile.example regenerated; README/FRESH-INSTALL/HOSTNAME-CHANGE (procedure C)/STATUS updated.

+
+## C. Splitting the single main host into media / files / clips / sync (done 2026-11-01)
+
+Before: one main host (`ovh1.BASE`) served copyparty at `/`, `/about/`, `/clips/`, `/sync/`, `/dock/`, `/dump`, `/time`.
+After: `media.BASE` = gateway at `/`; `files.BASE` = copyparty; `clips.BASE`; `sync.BASE`; `live.BASE` gains `/dock/`,
+`/dock/clock/`, `/dump`, `/me`, `/time`, `/whoami`. `/time` is only on `live` because the two pages that fetch it
+(the clock source and Go Live) are same-origin there. Authentik needs nothing: the domain-level provider covers every
+name under BASE, the outpost host (`auth.`) is unchanged.
+
+1. DNS: CNAMEs `media`, `files`, `clips`, `sync` → the box (keep `ovh1` for ssh; it is no longer a web host).
+2. Dev box: pull/upload the repo (`configure.py`, `about/`, `addCommunityMediaServer.sh`, docs).
+3. Server, between streams: `./configure.py --full` → main hostname `media.BASE`; Enter for the sub-hostnames
+   (defaults `files.`, `clips.`, `sync.`, …); bare domain redirect → `https://media.BASE/`; `y`.
+   Then `docker compose restart mediamtx` (webrtcAdditionalHosts is now `media.`) and `./deployLive.sh` (portal
+   build picks up nothing new, but confirms `/srv/live` is served on `live.`).
+4. Streamers: OBS → Custom Browser Docks → replace the dock URL with `https://live.BASE/dock/`; dock Settings →
+   save; Timecode band → "Add band + clock source" again (the clock browser source URL moved).
+5. Discord: re-pin `https://media.BASE/` (members), `https://clips.BASE/` (gamers), `https://files.BASE/` (editors).
+6. Old `ovh1` bookmarks stop working (no Caddy block, TLS fails) — point people at the gateway.
