Bot hosting: releases are self-contained CI bundles, and the bot serves its own web UI

The image no longer installs the bot's dependencies: its CI builds one tar.gz holding the app plus a
vendor/ directory of prebuilt wheels, and PYTHONPATH=/app/vendor makes the code import them. A new
dependency therefore needs no image rebuild and the server contacts no package index.

- deployBotBundle.sh: install / --latest / --status / --rollback, verifies every file against BUILD.json
  and keeps the previous release beside the live one.
- compose: mount ${BOT_APP_DIR:-/srv/bot/app} at /app, set DB_BACKEND, DATA_DIR, WEB_ALLOWED_GROUPS,
  WEB_SERVE_UI and PYTHONPATH. bot/app placeholder untracked; install.sh creates /srv/bot/app.
- The placeholder requirements would have crashed the bot on import (no sqlglot), which is why the
  image now ships none of them.

## 1a. Releases: one bundle, dependencies included
Your CI (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`, job `bundle`) runs after the tests and produces the artifact
`vanguard-bot-bundle` — a single tar.gz whose contents **are** `/app`:
main.py app/ website/ version.json BUILD.json vendor/
`vendor/` is `pip install --only-binary=:all: --target vendor -r requirements.txt`, built on `python:3.12`
so the wheels match the runtime image's ABI. `BUILD.json` records the version, commit, build time, the
package list and a sha256 of every file. The admin installs it with `./deployBotBundle.sh <bundle.tar.gz>`,
which checks the bundle against `BUILD.json`, keeps the previous release for `--rollback`, and restarts the
container. Rules that follow from this:
- Keep `requirements.txt` resolvable with **prebuilt wheels only**; a dependency that must compile will fail
the build. Ask the admin if you truly need one.
- Don't import anything that is not in `requirements.txt` or the standard library.
- Nothing is installed on the server at deploy time, and the server reaches no package index.
## 2. Process model
- One process, one asyncio loop: the Discord gateway client and the web server run together

## 6. Working with the admin
- **Source**: push to the community Gitea, `ssh://git@git.<domain>:2222/vanguard/discord-bot.git`.
The admin deploys by pulling into `bot/app` and restarting. CI on the `python` runner label runs your tests.
- **Source**: push to the community Gitea. CI runs your tests on the `python` runner label, then builds the
release bundle (§1a); the admin installs it with `deployBotBundle.sh`. Pushes to `main` can install it
automatically once the repository variable `BOT_AUTO_DEPLOY` is set to `1`; it is unset by default.
- **Need infra?** Open a Gitea issue titled `infra: …` stating the exact change: a new env var and why,
a mount, a Caddy path that should skip login (e.g. a public webhook endpoint), a new database.
Don't work around the proxy or the firewall.
- **Dependencies changed?** Say so in the PR; the image must be rebuilt.
- **Dependencies changed?** Just push: they travel inside the bundle. Only a new *system* package (beyond
ffmpeg and curl) needs the admin to rebuild the image.
- Keep `README.md` updated with every command, env var, and table you add.
