Layer a staging overlay (docker-compose.staging.yml) on the base compose file:
same Linux images and Production runtime as prod, differing only in the dev
banner, capped sync, shifted ports (18080/18081), and an isolated project
namespace so it never touches prod data. Wire -Staging into deploy/up.ps1 and
deploy/down.ps1, add .env.staging.example, and track that template in git.
