Frank da9cff046e observability: give Dankserver its node-exporter back as a Quadlet
Dankserver's node-exporter has been dead since a reboot: `podman ps -a` showed
it `Exited (143)` and Prometheus' `node-dankserver` job has been scraping
nothing. It ran only from `dankserver/compose.yaml`, which is the failure mode
this repository's boot-persistence rule exists for (rootless Podman does not
restart bare containers after the stop that shutdown performs), and the compose
form bound the wildcard address — the unauthenticated-metrics-API-on-every-
interface posture already removed on Dankclaw.

  - dankserver/observability/quadlet/node-exporter.container — mirrors the
    Dankclaw unit, listening on exactly 127.0.0.1:9100 (host-local probes) and
    192.168.0.235:9100 (Prometheus on Dankclaw), with Restart=always and
    WantedBy=default.target.
  - the compose service is deleted: one owner per container name.
  - deploy_observability now installs from "$TARGET/observability/quadlet"; it
    hardcoded the Dankclaw path, so a Dankserver unit could not be installed by
    the shared dispatcher at all.
  - planner: "node-exporter" joins the Dankserver service set, with a path rule
    for dankserver/observability/**; the dispatcher's allowlist gains
    dankserver:node-exporter.

Seams cover the silent halves: both listen addresses present and the wildcard
absent, the compose service gone, the allowlist entry present, and the planner
mapping the path to the service.

# Quadlet unit: node-exporter (rootless, boot-persistent) — DANKSERVER.
#
# Install path on dankserver: ~/.config/containers/systemd/node-exporter.container
# Unit name: node-exporter.service (container name: node-exporter)
#
# WHY THIS FILE EXISTS. Until 2026-09-16 the Dankserver node-exporter ran only
# from `dankserver/compose.yaml` (the "Observability" block, `restart:
# unless-stopped`). Rootless Podman does not restart bare containers after the
# explicit stop that shutdown performs, so it died at a reboot and stayed dead:
# `podman ps -a` showed it `Exited (143)` and Prometheus' `node-dankserver` job
# had been scraping nothing since. The compose entry also bound the default
# wildcard address, which is the unauthenticated-metrics-API-on-every-interface
# posture that was already removed on Dankclaw. This unit replaces both: one
# owner per container name (the compose service is deleted), explicit listen
# addresses, and a generator-provided boot path.
#
# HOST NAMESPACE. Networking and PID in the host's namespaces: the collectors
# report the host's own interfaces, connections, processes and cgroups. The
# host's /proc, /sys and / are mounted read-only under /host and /rootfs, and
# node_exporter writes nothing.
#
# LISTEN ADDRESSES. Exactly two:
# - 127.0.0.1:9100 for host-local probes
# - 192.168.0.235:9100 for Prometheus, which scrapes this host from Dankclaw
# (shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml, job "node-dankserver"). It cannot use
# loopback across hosts, and node_exporter has no authentication, so the
# wildcard bind stays off the table. This is the same deliberate LAN
# listener posture the observability runbook documents.
#
# MIRROR. Keep this file in step with dankclaw/observability/quadlet/
# node-exporter.container; only the Description and the LAN address differ.
