feat(deploy): derive the API origin from the page, not from a pinned env var
Build and Push Images / Build jorgecuadros-web (push) Successful in 1m55s
Build and Push Images / Build jorgecuadros-api (push) Successful in 2m35s

The browser hard-required API_ORIGIN, so every move of the server — tailnet
today, the 192.168.1.0 office LAN later, a temporary demo domain in between —
meant editing the deploy env and redeploying. Worse, an http:// API origin on a
page served over TLS is blocked outright as mixed active content, which is what
broke the demo on https://jorgecuadros.freakma.com.

The browser now derives the origin from window.location the way a PHP app
would: same host on port 3001 over plain HTTP, or the same-origin /api path
under https (the reverse proxy strips the prefix). API_ORIGIN survives as an
optional override for a deployment that genuinely splits the two hosts, and SSR
still reads process.env because a derived origin is browser-only.

WEB_ORIGIN becomes a comma-separated list to match: one deployment is now
reached under several origins, and a credentialed fetch from an unlisted one
gets no CORS headers and fails.
