compose: keep traefik's file provider through a deploy - #105

Conversation
The deploy job scp's this file over /home/ubuntu/clayde/docker-compose.yml before running `docker compose up -d`, so anything the VM copy has and this one lacks is silently dropped on every merge to main. The file provider and its /dynamic mount were in that category: they serve the hand-written routes for the /board and /walk backends running on the host, which returned 404 after today's deploy until the VM copy was patched back by hand. Second occurrence today.

The bug
The
deployjob scp's this repo'sdocker-compose.ymlover/home/ubuntu/clayde/docker-compose.ymland then runsdocker compose up -d. Anything the VM copy carries and this one does not is therefore dropped on every merge to main.Two traefik settings were in that category:
--providers.file.directory=/dynamicand--providers.file.watch=true./traefik-dynamic:/dynamic:romountThey serve
~/clayde/traefik-dynamic/board.ymlandwalk.yml, the hand-written routes for the/boardand/walkbackends that run on the host rather than as containers here.Evidence
After today's deploy of #104,
https://clayde.net/boardandhttps://clayde.net/walkboth returned 404 — traefik's answer when no router matches, as opposed to the 502 a dead backend would give. The VM copy had to be patched back by hand. This was the second occurrence today: the 11:25 UTC deploy did the same thing, which is whatdocker-compose.yml.bak-2026-09-21-1138on the VM records.The fix
Put both settings in the deployed file, so the scp carries them instead of removing them.
