Gate messages now propagate via the Infonet hashchain as encrypted blobs — every node syncs them
through normal chain sync while only Gate members with MLS keys can decrypt. Added mesh reputation
system, peer push workers, voluntary Wormhole opt-in for node participation, fork recovery,
killwormhole scripts, obfuscated terminology, and hardened the self-updater to protect encryption
keys and chain state during updates.
New features: Shodan search, train tracking, Sentinel Hub imagery, 8 new intelligence layers,
CCTV expansion to 11,000+ cameras across 6 countries, Mesh Terminal CLI, prediction markets,
desktop-shell scaffold, and comprehensive mesh test suite (215 frontend + backend tests passing).

Previously, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL was a build-time Next.js variable, making
it impossible to configure the backend URL in docker-compose `environment`
without rebuilding the image.
This change introduces a proper server-side proxy:
- next.config.ts: adds a rewrite rule that forwards all /api/* requests
to BACKEND_URL (read at server startup, not baked at build time).
Defaults to http://localhost:8000 so local dev works without config.
- api.ts: API_BASE is now an empty string — all fetch calls use relative
/api/... paths, which the Next.js server proxies to the backend.
- docker-compose.yml: replaces NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL build arg with a
runtime BACKEND_URL env var defaulting to http://backend:8000, using
Docker's internal networking. Port 8000 no longer needs to be exposed.
- README: updates Docker setup docs, standalone compose example, and
environment variable reference to reflect BACKEND_URL.
