Team decision: production DB connection and first-boot owner email are hardcoded in the app instead of a .env file, matching the box's other apps. Gated to NODE_ENV=production so dev/tests keep using SQLite (389 tests green). Committed value is the CHANGE_ME_PASSWORD placeholder; the real password is set only on the box, never pushed. server.ts: HARDCODED_DATABASE_URL. seed.ts: OWNER_EMAIL default. docker-compose.yml: drop env_file. docs: PATHS-AND-NAMES.md + .env.example updated.

Two small improvements that were uncommitted in the working tree:
- .env.example: document HQ_OWNER_EMAIL; refresh the Postgres section (D19 delivered)
- pdf.ts: launch Chromium with --no-sandbox --disable-dev-shm-usage so it runs in a
container; inert on a dev machine, and we only ever render our own self-contained HTML

Turnkey deployment for the AWS box: documented env vars, pm2/systemd run,
HTTPS reverse-proxy, nightly SQLite->S3 backup with rotation, and the Postgres
switch note. No secrets; unblocks go-live the moment the server/creds arrive.
