Update docs to match live cluster state

Browse Source 
Audited the running cluster and fixed all .md files:
- Node info: Fedora 43, Lima (not OrbStack), worker IP 10.0.1.58
- Networking: fixed public/internal hostname tables, all *.dog internals
- Storage: removed Longhorn refs (not deployed), documented hostPath/local-path
- Services: moved Seerr to media chart, utils is Zerobyte only
- Bootstrap: reordered steps, MetalLB/traefik-internal as manual pre-deploy
- Headlamp.md/MetalLB.md: added context and explanations

# Headlamp — Manual Token Access
The `charts/headlamp` Helm chart deploys Headlamp with its own in-cluster
ServiceAccount (`headlamp`) and a `cluster-admin` ClusterRoleBinding. That
SA is used by the running pod and does not require manual setup.
To generate a **bearer token** for logging in to the Headlamp UI (e.g. from
a browser), create a separate short-lived token:
```bash
kubectl -n apps create token headlamp --duration=48h
```
If you need a dedicated SA for external/long-lived access instead:
```bash
kubectl -n apps create serviceaccount headlamp-admin
kubectl create clusterrolebinding headlamp-admin \
--serviceaccount=apps:headlamp-admin \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin
kubectl -n apps create token headlamp-admin
kubectl -n apps create token headlamp-admin
```

# MetalLB — Manual Setup
MetalLB is **not** included in `bootstrap.sh deploy`. It must be installed
manually before deploying `traefik-internal` (which depends on the MetalLB
`loadBalancerClass`).
```bash
helm repo add metallb https://metallb.github.io/metallb
helm repo update
helm search repo metallb
helm dependency build charts/metallb
helm upgrade --install metallb charts/metallb -n kube-system --wait
```
The chart wraps the upstream MetalLB subchart and adds a custom
`IPAddressPool` + `L2Advertisement` (defined in `charts/metallb/templates/pool.yaml`).
The pool assigns a single IP (`10.0.1.250`) with `autoAssign: false`, so only
services that explicitly request the `internal` pool via annotation get that IP.

### Networking
**Public ingress** — k3s bundles Traefik, configured via `HelmChartConfig` in `traefik-config`. TLS terminates at Traefik using Let's Encrypt with Cloudflare DNS-01 challenge. HTTP automatically redirects to HTTPS.
**Public ingress** — k3s bundles Traefik, configured via `HelmChartConfig` in `traefik-config`. TLS terminates at Traefik using Let's Encrypt with Cloudflare DNS-01 challenge. HTTP automatically redirects to HTTPS. klipper (servicelb) exposes the public Traefik on every node IP.

**Internal ingress** — A separate Traefik instance (`traefik-internal`) listens on `10.0.1.250:80`, served by MetalLB L2. A DNS rewrite points `*.internal` to that IP. Internal services use Traefik `IngressRoute` CRDs with `ingressClass: traefik-internal`.

### 5. Deploy MetalLB and internal Traefik (manual)
These are deployed separately before the main charts because other services depend on them:

```bash

This installs (in order): `traefik-config`, `media`, `paperless`, `mealie`, `dashboards`, `utils`, `headlamp`.
Or deploy individually:
```bash
helm upgrade --install metallb charts/metallb -n kube-system --wait
helm upgrade --install traefik-internal charts/traefik-internal -n kube-system --wait
