feat: unified HTTP+WS server for proper URL deployment

Closes #1339. The Nexus Three.js app required HTTP serving for module
imports to work (file:// and raw Forge URLs break). This change:

- server.py: dual-purpose async server — HTTP on :8080 (static files)
  and WebSocket on :8765 (broadcast gateway), single process
- Dockerfile: exposes both 8080 (HTTP) and 8765 (WS), includes all
  frontend assets (boot.js, bootstrap.mjs, gofai_worker.js, etc.)
- docker-compose.yml: maps HTTP :8080/:8081 + WS :8765/:8766
- deploy.sh: updated for new port layout
- run.sh: standalone no-Docker launcher
- app.js: WS URL derives from HTTP port (8080->8765, 8081->8766)
- deploy.yml workflow: docker compose on remote host

To deploy: `./deploy.sh` (Docker) or `./run.sh` (bare metal).
Open http://HOST:8080 in a browser — Three.js modules load correctly.
