Wire services end-to-end: Caddy reload, NAT reflection, port forward

Fully wired service proxy deployment:

Backend:
- /api/services/status: full checklist (OPNsense API, SSH, NAT
  reflection, port forward 443, Caddyfile.services, service count)
- /api/services/enable-nat-reflection: enables NAT reflection on
  OPNsense via SSH config.xml edit + filter reload
- /api/services/create-port-forward: creates WAN TCP 443 → Caddy
  port forward via OPNsense NAT API, tracks rule UUID
- /api/services/deploy: writes Caddyfile.services, reloads Caddy
  (tries docker compose exec, then restart, then systemctl), checks
  NAT reflection status, verifies port forward exists

Infrastructure:
- docker-compose.yml: mount Caddyfile.services into Caddy container,
  switch-manager volume writable (for writing Caddyfile.services)
- Caddyfile.template: auto-imports /etc/caddy/Caddyfile.services

Frontend:
- Setup Checklist panel with green/red dots for each prerequisite
- Enable NAT Reflection button (one-click)
- Create Port Forward button (one-click)
- Deploy button writes Caddyfile, reloads Caddy, verifies everything
- Caddyfile preview in deploy results

Deploy service proxy configuration.
Full deploy: write Caddyfile, reload Caddy, ensure NAT reflection
and port forward are configured on OPNsense.
Architecture:
- Caddy runs on the LAN management computer (reverse proxy for all services)
- WAN: port 443 forwarded to Caddy — only port exposed externally
- LAN devices: reach services directly via Caddy
- Isolated VLANs (IoT, Guest): use public FQDNs — OPNsense NAT
reflection routes internally without traffic leaving the network
- Full VLAN isolation preserved — IoT treated same as external users
This endpoint:
1. Writes/updates Caddyfile with service entries
2. Checks NAT reflection status on OPNsense
3. Provides setup instructions for anything not yet configured
Steps:
1. Pre-change backup
2. Write Caddyfile.services with reverse proxy entries
3. Reload Caddy (docker compose exec or systemctl)
4. Check/enable NAT reflection on OPNsense
5. Check/create WAN port forward 443 → Caddy
6. Return status of each step
