Subject: [PATCH] fix: harden container isolation in first-boot script
 (PENTEST-03)

Add --cap-drop ALL and --security-opt no-new-privileges:true to all
containers in first-boot-containers.sh that were missing it:
- Bitcoin Knots, LND, Fedimint, Fedimint Gateway (+ CHOWN/SETUID/SETGID)
- BTCPay Server, Home Assistant (+ CHOWN/SETUID/SETGID/DAC_OVERRIDE)
- Nextcloud (+ CHOWN/SETUID/SETGID/DAC_OVERRIDE)
- Grafana, Uptime Kuma, PhotoPrism, Ollama, Vaultwarden, FileBrowser
  (zero extra caps + --read-only + tmpfs for /tmp and /run)
- Jellyfin (zero extra caps)

Tailscale retains --privileged (required for TUN/iptables/routing).
SearXNG, OnlyOffice, Nginx Proxy Manager, Portainer already hardened.

The Rust RPC layer already applies equivalent hardening for all UI
installs; this brings the ISO first-boot path to parity.

 - [x] **PENTEST-02** — Conduct manual security review of all RPC endpoints. Review each of the 80+ RPC endpoints in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` for: input validation, authorization checks, information disclosure, timing attacks on auth endpoints. Document findings. **Acceptance**: All endpoints reviewed; critical issues fixed.

Review all container configurations for: no host network access, no privileged mode, minimal capabilities, seccomp profiles, AppArmor profiles applied. Generate and apply AppArmor profiles for each app. **Acceptance**: All containers run with minimal privileges.

 - [ ] **PENTEST-04** — Add rate limiting to all sensitive endpoints. Extend rate limiting beyond login: add rate limits to `identity.create`, `wallet.*`, `backup.create`, `update.apply`, `container-install`. Configurable per-endpoint. **Acceptance**: Rate-limited endpoints return 429 when exceeded.
