* fix(deploy): let make up start on a checkout without .env files
.env and frontend/.env are gitignored and make up does not create them,
but docker/docker-compose.yaml listed both as short-form env_file entries,
which Compose treats as required. On a fresh clone make up, make down and
make prod-logs all stopped with "env file .../.env not found" (exit 14)
before building or touching anything.
Mark the three entries optional with the long-form path/required syntax
the development compose file already uses. Compose loads them when they
exist and skips them otherwise; an unreadable or non-file .env still
fails. This needs Docker Compose 2.24+, the floor the README already
documents, and deploy.sh's startup-failure hint now names it for older
clients.
deploy.sh deliberately does not seed the files from the examples the way
docker.sh start does: .env.example carries placeholder API keys the
production Gateway would receive, and make config skips files that exist.
* docs(changelog): reference #6370
* test(deploy): gate Compose clients and cover make up
