DanConwayDev 22bbd48537 docs(deploy): add host-specific production paths

The production guide was NixOS-only despite presenting itself as the general deployment entry point, and its examples referenced an unavailable GitHub source and a hardening control the module does not set.

Turn the entry point into an environment chooser, preserve the corrected NixOS material in its own guide, add a hardened generic systemd unit and repeatable Linux installation, document the preferred unprivileged Proxmox layout, and update repository navigation and architecture references.

Each path assumes the shared deployment contract from the container change. Kubernetes automation, remote host mutation, and changes to the existing NixOS module are deliberately excluded.

Validated the canonical Git remote with git ls-remote, parsed and scored the systemd unit with systemd-analyze, checked all new deployment-guide links, removed trailing whitespace, scanned the staged diff for key-shaped nsec values, and ran git diff --check.

ngit-grasp Documentation

Welcome to the ngit-grasp documentation! We use the Diátaxis framework to organize our documentation into four types, each serving a different purpose.

                    PRACTICAL          THEORETICAL

🤝 Contributing to Documentation

When adding documentation, ask yourself:

Is it a tutorial?

Does it teach a beginner?
Is it a complete lesson with guaranteed outcome?
→ Add to tutorials/

Is it a how-to guide?

Does it solve a specific problem?
Is it a recipe for accomplishing a task?
→ Add to how-to/

Is it reference material?

Is it technical information?
Will people look it up when needed?
→ Add to reference/

Is it explanation?

Does it explain "why"?
Does it discuss alternatives or design?
→ Add to explanation/

See Diátaxis documentation for more guidance.
