copyparty: read-only volume (no uploads); correct runbook anon-perms claim

-v /w::A granted anonymous full rwmda on the LAN (verified: anon PUT -> 201,
PROPFIND -> 207). New perms ::r:ra,dank: browse/download for anonymous
(required by the guarded files.franksdank.cloud chain), admin for dank,
no w/m/d for anyone. Runbook corrected with the --help-accounts semantics.

field is `<letters>[,user[,user...]]` and a field with **no username applies to
every unauthenticated request**. Letters: `r` read (list + download), `w`
upload, `m` move, `d` delete, `a` admin (control panel, config reload), `A` =
`rwmda.` (everything). Empty `dst` mounts at the basename of `src` → URL `/w`.
**Read-only posture (2026-08-31):** `::r` = browse + download for anonymous
(required: the guarded `files.franksdank.cloud` chain delivers authentik'd
traffic to copyparty *unauthenticated*), `:ra,dank` = admin for the `dank`
account. **No `w`/`m`/`d` for anyone** — uploads, moves, and deletes are
rejected server-side over HTTP, PUT, and WebDAV alike. There is no dedicated
"reject uploads" volflag; the perms field is the documented mechanism
(`--help-flags` volflags only throttle/reshape uploads).
History: the pre-2026-08-31 flag `-v /w::A` was *not* "A for dank, nothing for
anonymous" as an earlier revision of this page claimed — the bare `A` granted
full read/write/delete to anyone reaching port 3923. Verified live the same
day: anonymous `GET /Movies/` → 200, `PROPFIND /` → 207, `PUT` → 201.

rw on disk — copyparty enforces read-only at the application layer, so local

`${COPAY_PASS}` is compose-time interpolation from `dankserver/.env` — the
password lands in the container's **argv**, visible to anyone who can run
`podman inspect copyparty` on the host.
**Applying changes:** `scripts/deploy.sh` deliberately does not touch the
dankserver compose stack (host containers are not quadlet-managed there), so
`command:` edits need a manual recreate on Dankserver:
```
cd /home/dank/serverAppConfigs/dankserver && podman-compose up -d --force-recreate copyparty
```
Same project (`dankserver`), only copyparty is recreated; a fresh container
answers `000` for the first seconds while it mounts.
