feat(services): clone/move ops + owner-scoped registry credentials (C4)

Service lifecycle: POST /services/:id/clone duplicates config, volumes,
domains, access gates, builder settings, and variables (secret ciphertext
copied verbatim); POST /services/:id/move re-parents to another owned
project. Both enforce ownership, reject name conflicts, and audit.

Registries: CRUD at /registries — host-matched pull credentials for
prebuilt-image deploys, encrypted at rest via secrets pkg, never returned
(has_password flag). Empty password on update keeps the stored credential;
host normalized (scheme/case/trailing slash). Credentials thread through
BuildConfig → BuildRequest → pull auth config, used only for the pull.

Surfaces: CLI services clone|move + registries group, 7 MCP tools,
OpenAPI paths/schemas, frontend Lifecycle card (clone/move/delete) and
Settings registries section, llms.txt + CLI.md.

+## Clone, move, registries
+
+`services clone` duplicates config, volumes, domains, access gates,
+builder settings, and variables — ciphertext secret values are copied
+verbatim (no decrypt/re-encrypt). The clone starts stopped:
+
+```bash
+containr services clone <id> --name staging-api --project <other-project-id> --environment preview
+containr services move <id> <project-id>    # name conflicts → 409
+```
+
+Note: cloned domains are verbatim copies — the same hostname attached to
+two services makes Traefik routing ambiguous. Re-domain or undeploy one.
+
+`registries` stores private-image pull credentials, owner-scoped and
+encrypted at rest. Matched by image host on every image-sourced deploy:
+
+```bash
+containr registries add ghcr ghcr.io --username <user> --password <pat>
+containr registries add hub docker.io --username <user> --password <pw>   # Docker Hub
+containr registries update <id> --username <new-user>   # empty --password keeps stored

 - **Volumes**: service mounts via `PUT /services/{id}` `volumes: [{type: volume|bind, source, target, read_only}]` — replaces the whole list (`[]` clears), applied on next deploy. `GET /admin/volumes` inventories node volumes with `in_use` flags; `DELETE /admin/volumes/{name}` removes unused ones (admin).
 - **Domains**: multiple hostnames per service via `GET|POST /services/{id}/domains`, `DELETE /services/{id}/domains/{domain_id}`, `POST …/{domain_id}/default` (mirrors `services.domain`). `GET /services/{id}/domains/check` returns `ok|wrong-target|pending` per domain vs `app_settings.public_ip`/`PUBLIC_IP`. `PUT` `maintenance_mode` redirects all traffic to `GET /maintenance` (needs `base_url`/`BASE_URL` setting); `basic_auth: [{username,password}]` stores bcrypt htpasswd and gates the route — responses return usernames only.
 - **Builders & resources**: service field `builder` = `auto|railpack|nixpacks|dockerfile|static` (auto detects; static builds assets with `static_build_cmd` and serves `static_dir` via nginx:80). `cpu`/`memory` are hard caps; `cpu_reserve`/`memory_reserve` are soft reservations (CPU shares / MemoryReservation) — empty string clears. `app_settings.default_cpu`/`default_memory` set instance defaults; `app_settings.capacity_policy=block` rejects deploys exceeding node memory (default `warn`).
+- **Clone & move**: `POST /services/{id}/clone` `{name?, project_id?, environment?}` copies config, volumes, domains, access gates, and variables (secret ciphertext verbatim; clone starts stopped). `POST /services/{id}/move` `{project_id}` re-parents a service — both require ownership of source and target; name conflicts → `CONFLICT`. Cloned domains are verbatim copies: the same hostname on two services makes routing ambiguous.
+- **Registries**: `GET|POST /registries`, `PUT|DELETE /registries/{id}` — owner-scoped private-image pull credentials, encrypted at rest, never returned (`has_password` signals presence). `host` matched against the image reference on image deploys (`docker.io` for Docker Hub; scheme/case normalized). Empty `password` on update keeps the stored credential.
 - **Identifiers**: all ids are UUIDs. Tokens: `cnp_` user PATs, `cagt_` agent onboarding tokens.
