* Use Docker Compose init service pattern for database migrations
Replaces the fragile double-migration approach (server.ts startup +
drizzle-kit CLI in CI) with a one-shot migrate service in Docker Compose
that the app depends on via condition: service_completed_successfully.
- Add scripts/migrate.mjs: programmatic drizzle-orm migration (uses
production deps, not drizzle-kit which is devOnly and absent from image)
- Dockerfile: copy scripts/ into image, remove drizzle.config.ts (only
needed by drizzle-kit CLI)
- server.ts: remove runMigrations() entirely; migrations are now handled
by the migrate container before the app starts
- deploy.yml: remove explicit docker run migration step; replace sleep 10
health check with a poll loop and explicit migrate exit-code check
Production server's docker-compose.yaml needs a one-time manual update
to add the migrate service — see plan for exact config.

* Move drizzle-kit to devDependencies; use docker compose wait in deploy
drizzle-kit is a dev-only tool (schema generation and local migrations).
Now that production migrations run via the programmatic drizzle-orm API
in the migrate init container, drizzle-kit has no runtime role.
Also replaces the polling health check loop with docker compose wait,
which blocks until the migrate service exits and returns its exit code
cleanly — no sleep or manual status inspection needed.

* fix: run DB migrations programmatically on server startup
Replace unreliable drizzle-kit CLI migration with drizzle-orm's built-in
migrator running in the server process before accepting connections. This
ensures migrations are always applied on deploy and fails fast if they error.
- Add runMigrations() to server.ts using drizzle-orm/postgres-js/migrator
- Skip migrations in development (handled manually via db:migrate)
- Add DATABASE_URL guard with a clear error message
- Remove start:production script (now identical to start)
- Update Dockerfile CMD to use npm run start
