Panama learns what a server is: from a root login to running containers

A machine's role is now the interview's first question and the one answer
Panama records. Servers get the same shell minus the screen: core packages,
nvm, Bun, Claude Code and Codex (desktops get Codex too), linger, rootless
ports from 80, firewalld, the nginx-bridge network, and a nightly image
updater that replaced watchtower for cause.

server/containers/ carries junior's 23 compose services -- secrets moved to
per-machine .env files that never enter this public repo, every transformed
compose proven to render byte-identical to what is live. 'panama server'
enables, disables and relinks them; nothing here restarts a running service.
'boot --server' walks a fresh VPS from its root login to a normal install.

Five new contracts pin the secrets rule, the catalog's shape, panama-server's
behavior, the role plumbing, and the dotfile classification.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Every service in the catalog has the same shape, because panama-server and
# the update timer both depend on it blindly:
#
# * a compose.yml, which is the only file enable symlinks into ~/Server
# * exactly one podman-*.service unit -- its filename is the unit's
# identity, so two would be an ambiguity and zero an unenableable service
# * a WorkingDirectory of %h/Server/<Name>, matching the directory enable
# creates -- a unit pointing anywhere else starts compose against a
# directory that has no .env and no data
# * every ${VAR} the compose interpolates without a default is named in
# .env.example, or the first enable renders a compose full of empty
# strings and the service runs misconfigured rather than failing
