feat(scheduling): replica spread + resource-aware auto placement (#56)

services.spread distributes replicas across every online, schedulable
agent (replica i → agents[i mod n], deterministic). auto placement now
orders by real headroom — memory utilisation, cpu usage, then container
count — instead of count alone.

Lifecycle (start/stop/restart/delete) and GET /runtime are now driven
by container_instances inventory, so remote replicas are visible and
tear down wherever they run — covers spread, pins, and stale pin
leftovers. Spread and explicit pins are mutually exclusive.

-- [ ] **Node housekeeping** — agent `prune` command (docker system
-  prune, bounded) + optional schedule (`setServerAutoCleanup` analog —
-  disk pressure is the #1 small-VPS killer).
-- [ ] **Multi-node scheduling** — wire `scheduling_rules` (table exists):
-  pin/spread/affinity, prefer-lowest-usage; deploy engine routes to
-  `services.node_id` via agent commands (agent already runs containers).
-- [ ] **Build-on-node** — agents currently `docker run` prebuilt images
-  only; extend agent to pull registry images (build stays central) —
-  private registry creds flow through Phase C.
+- [x] **SSH bootstrap install** — `containr nodes add <user@host>` mints an
+  enroll token, SSHes once (agent/key/default keys), runs
+  `GET /api/agents/install.sh | bash` remotely, closes the session.
+  `--print` emits the one-liner for manual runs; the Usage page shows the
+  same command. Agent binaries ship in the image under `/agents` and are
+  served at `/api/agents/download/{linux-amd64,linux-arm64}` (install
+  script falls back to GH releases). `cli/commands/nodes_add.go`,
+  `api/assets/install-agent.sh`, `agents.go:ServeInstallScript`/`ServeAgentBinary`.
+- [x] **Mesh awareness** — agent reports tailscale/netbird/wireguard/
+  zerotier interface IPs at register (`mesh` field, authoritative on
+  re-register), stored in `node_agents.metadata.mesh`, shown on the node
+  detail page. `TAILSCALE_AUTH_KEY` enroll-at-provision still open.
+- [x] **Node detail page** — `/nodes/:id` (admin): heartbeat telemetry
+  (cpu/mem sparklines over 1h/24h/7d via `GET /agents/:id/metrics`),
+  containers, command history, rename, auto-prune toggle, prune-now,
+  remove. Drain/cordon and self-upgrade deferred — they need
+  `services.node_id` routing which lands with multi-node scheduling.
+- [x] **Node housekeeping** — agent `prune` + `system_df` commands
+  (`docker system prune -af`, volumes excluded unless requested, optional
+  `--until`). `node_agents.auto_prune` + the health sweep enqueue a prune
+  at most once per 24h per node. Surfaces: `POST /agents/:id/prune`,
+  `nodes update --auto-prune` / `nodes prune [--volumes --until]` /
+  `nodes commands`, MCP `containr_nodes_update|prune|commands`
+  (confirm-gated), Usage-page per-node Prune button + auto toggle.
+  `cmd/agent/main.go`, `notification_producers.go:scheduleAutoPrune`.
+- [🟡] **Multi-node scheduling** — phase 1 shipped: `services.node_id`
+  pin (explicit / `auto` = least-loaded online / `local` = clear),
+  `NodeRunner` seam in the deploy engine routes reconcile to the agent's
+  command queue (`create_container` with image/env/cmd/ports/volumes/
+  labels/limits), `container_instances` inventory per (agent, service,
+  replica), remote stop/start/restart/delete fan-out, `GET
+  /nodes/options`, `--node` on services create/update + MCP + OpenAPI +
+  service-detail Placement section. Drain/cordon shipped:
+  `node_agents.schedulable`, `POST /agents/:id/cordon|uncordon|drain`
+  (drain evicts remote containers via the agent queue + unpins services
+  so they redeploy locally), `nodes cordon|uncordon|drain` CLI +
+  MCP (drain confirm-gated) + node-detail page controls; `auto` and
+  explicit pins skip cordoned nodes. Spread placement shipped:
+  `services.spread` distributes replicas deterministically across every
+  online schedulable agent (replica i → agents[i mod n]), mutually
+  exclusive with a pin; `auto` is now resource-aware — least memory
+  utilisation, then cpu, then container count, with uninstrumented
+  agents sorting last. Lifecycle and `GET /runtime` are
+  inventory-driven, so remote replicas show up and tear down wherever
+  they run. Remote nodes run registry-pulled
+  images only — git builds, Traefik domains, and remote sleep are
+  documented ceilings. Remaining: `scheduling_rules` affinity
+  policies, deployment status reported back from agent
+  results, spread weighting by real capacity.
+- [🟡] **Build-on-node** — private registry pulls shipped: the dispatch
+  payload carries the project owner's `registries` credentials for the
+  image host; the agent `docker login`s for the pull and logs out after,
+  and command payloads are scrubbed of passwords on completion. Agent

   graph-provisioned managed databases (`database_services.project_id`).

 `volumes list` shows the node's docker volume inventory with in-use

+## Node placement
+
+Pin a service to a registered node agent, or let the scheduler pick the
+least-loaded online node:
+
+```bash
+containr services create --project <id> --name api --image ghcr.io/x/api:v1 --node <agent-id>
+containr services update <id> --node auto    # least-loaded online node
+containr services update <id> --node local   # move back to this server
+```
+
+`auto` scores nodes by real headroom — lowest memory utilisation, then
+cpu, then container count. Or spread replicas across every online,
+schedulable node (mutually exclusive with a pin):
+
+```bash
+containr services update <id> --replicas 4 --spread    # replica i → node[i % n]
+containr services update <id> --spread=false           # back to single placement
+```
+
+Remote nodes run registry-pulled images only — git builds, domains
+(Traefik lives on the host), and sleep detection stay local. Start,
+stop, restart, redeploy, and delete all fan out to the pinned node's
+agent. `services get` shows the resolved `node_name`.
+
+Take a node out of rotation or empty it entirely (admin):
+
+```bash
+containr nodes cordon <id>    # no new pins; running replicas stay
+containr nodes uncordon <id>
+containr nodes drain <id>     # cordon + remove its containers + unpin services

 ## Service domains and access
 
 A service can carry multiple hostnames; the default is mirrored to
