feat(logging): ~2-month container rotation, ISO timestamps, level names

Operator asked for bounded container logs (~2 months of history), human-
readable timestamps, and clarity on levels. Levels already existed (LOG_LEVEL
env → pino, default info; warn+ teed into app_logs, queryable at /setup/logs)
— the "level":30 / epoch-ms "time" in docker logs were pino defaults.

- server.ts logger: stamp ISO-8601 UTC time (timestamp fn) and level NAMES
  (formatters.level) so `docker logs` reads human.
- log-service.ts pinoDbStream: accept BOTH level encodings (name + numeric) —
  the label switch would otherwise have silently stopped warn+ persistence
  into app_logs. New log-service-stream.test.ts pins both encodings, the
  info-stays-stdout-only rule, and the never-throws fallback.
- docker-compose.prod.yml: json-file caps resized from 10m×3 (≈30 MB — days,
  not months) to ≈2 months by volume: server 20m×30, vision 20m×10, proxy
  10m×5. json-file rotates by SIZE; time-based isn't a driver feature —
  comment says to revisit if `docker logs` holds under ~60 days.
- app_logs retention default aligned 30→60 days (LOG_RETENTION_DAYS still
  overrides).

Wiki: app-logs.md gains the container-log store section (rotation, format,
LOG_LEVEL knob) + retention update; log.md entry.

Suite 282 green.

+`docker logs` is a separate, size-bounded store from `app_logs` — it holds **everything**
+(info/debug too), while `app_logs` keeps only warn+. Three knobs, all set 2026-07-04:
+
+- **Rotation:** Docker's json-file driver rotates by SIZE, not time; the caps in
+  `docker-compose.prod.yml` are sized to hold **≈2 months** at observed booth rates (server
+  20 MB × 30, vision 20 MB × 10, proxy 10 MB × 5). `docker logs` reaches back only that far —
+  revisit the caps if it shows under ~60 days. (Dev compose is uncapped — laptop concern only.)
+- **Human-readable lines:** the pino logger stamps **ISO-8601 UTC** `time` (was epoch-ms) and
+  **level NAMES** (`"warn"`, was `40`) via `timestamp` + `formatters.level` in `server.ts`.
+  `pinoDbStream` accepts BOTH level encodings, so the app_logs tee survives either config.
+- **Level knob:** `LOG_LEVEL` env (trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal; default `info`) — a booth
+  under diagnosis runs `LOG_LEVEL=debug` with no code change; warn+ persistence is unaffected
+  (it filters independently in the tee).
