fix(proxy): split Node-RED route surfaces
Route backend, kiosk ingest, kiosk dashboards, and public Node-RED HTTP-in separately. Keep Node-RED editor under admin auth and attach kiosk auth when kiosk loads protected dashboard URLs.

# BetterFrame deployment
## Recommended: Docker services + native kiosk
Run server, Angie/nginx, and Node-RED in Docker Compose. Only Angie publishes a
host port. The BetterFrame backend ports and Node-RED are internal to the Docker
network, which forces `/nrdp/`, `/in/kiosk/`, and admin traffic through the
proxy auth rules.
```bash
cd /opt/betterframe
docker compose -f deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
```
Published:
- `80` -> Angie/nginx public edge
Internal only:
- `18080` -> admin service
- `18081` -> kiosk API service
- `18082` -> kiosk WebSocket service
- `1880` -> Node-RED
Access first-run setup at:
```text
http://<pi-ip>/setup
```
Node-RED editor is reachable only through:
```text
http://<pi-ip>/nrdp/
```
The proxy has four route surfaces:
- BetterFrame web/API: `/`, `/setup`, `/admin/*`, `/auth/*`, `/static/*`,
`/api/admin/*`, `/api/kiosk/*`, `/api/pair/*`, `/ws/kiosk`
- Kiosk-only Node-RED ingress: `/in/kiosk/<node-red-path>`
- Kiosk-only Node-RED dashboards: `/dash/*`
- Public Node-RED HTTP-in URLs: any otherwise-unmatched root path, plus
`/in/public/<node-red-path>`
For example, a Node-RED `http in` node at `/test1` is public at
`http://<pi-ip>/test1` and also available at
`http://<pi-ip>/in/public/test1`. Kiosk-authenticated traffic to that same
Node-RED path uses `http://<pi-ip>/in/kiosk/test1`.
Do not publish `18080`, `18081`, `18082`, or `1880` on the host.
If migrating from an older native install, stop the old host daemons first:
```bash
sudo systemctl disable --now betterframe-server betterframe-nodered angie nginx 2>/dev/null || true
```
## Kiosk
The kiosk still runs natively on the Pi because it needs Wayland/HDMI, GTK,
GStreamer, display power control, and local hardware access.
```bash
sudo apt install -y libgtk-4-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev \
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-libav \
gstreamer1.0-gtk4 libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev libssl-dev
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source ~/.cargo/env
cd /opt/betterframe/kiosk
cargo build --release
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/betterframe-kiosk /opt/betterframe/kiosk/betterframe-kiosk
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp /opt/betterframe/deploy/systemd/betterframe-kiosk.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now betterframe-kiosk
```
Kiosks should point at the proxy URL, not direct backend ports:
```bash
BETTERFRAME_SERVER=http://<pi-ip> /opt/betterframe/kiosk/betterframe-kiosk
```
## Native server mode
Native server mode is for development only. Run it manually when debugging; do
not install host daemons for BetterFrame server, Angie, or Node-RED in
production. The Docker stack owns those services.
