MarekWoandClaude Opus 5 05ec5fa13e feat(https): optional HTTPS front end via Nginx Proxy Manager ...

Adds an opt-in HTTPS layer without touching anything for existing installs.

The proxy is a service in docker-compose.yml behind the "https" Compose
profile, activated with COMPOSE_PROFILES=https in .env. That keeps the whole
setup inside files git owns while the switch lives in a file it ignores --
important because scripts/update.sh runs `git pull`, so any user edit to a
tracked compose file would break the next update with a merge conflict.
mcupdate needs no change: compose reads COMPOSE_PROFILES from .env itself.

Both services share the project's default network, so the proxy forwards to
http://mc-webui:5000 internally; MC_BIND_ADDRESS lets the plain-HTTP port be
restricted to loopback once HTTPS works, and MC_TRUST_PROXY turns on ProxyFix
so the app sees the real client address and scheme.

Also fixes copying over plain HTTP. navigator.clipboard only exists in a
secure context, and 9 call sites across 5 entry points used it with no
fallback, so copy buttons silently did nothing on a LAN address. They now
share clipboard-utils.js, loaded via _head_i18n.html (the one include every
entry point already has), which falls back to execCommand.

Verified locally against the real stack: self-signed cert uploaded to NPM,
proxy host created, app served over HTTPS with socket.io upgrading to a real
wss:// WebSocket (transport "websocket"), and the clipboard fallback checked
end-to-end by pasting back what it copied over http://.

Two findings from that run are documented in docs/https-setup.md:
NPM 2.15 dropped the default admin@example.com account for a setup wizard,
and its default 443 server now refuses connections without SNI -- which is
every connection made to a bare IP address. docker/npm-default-site.conf is
the opt-in way around that, mounted writable (a :ro mount aborts s6 init and
leaves nginx not listening at all).
