atlas 23f13d9e71 chore(docs,nix): fix stale 'localhost via shared netns' claims in forge/matrix
Agents in private netns can't reach host loopback directly; they
use forge.<domain> and matrix.<domain> via the gateway. Update four
locations that still claimed direct loopback access:

with the `.well-known/matrix/{client,server}` routes the
hive-gateway serves at that domain, clients auto-discover the
actual matrix endpoint without needing a subdomain. Override
here only if you need a different server_name shape (e.g.
`matrix.<domain>` if you want the subdomain split, or

**Breaking change**: this used to default to

Open `httpPort` in the host firewall. Off by default

loopback, and agent containers reach it at `matrix.<domain>`
via the gateway so the firewall open only matters for
access from outside the host. Flip to `true` when announcing
the homeserver to other hives or when an external matrix
client needs to reach the client-server API directly.
**Breaking change**: this used to default to `true`. If you
relied on the old default for external reach, add
`services.hyperhive.matrix.openFirewall = true;` to your host
config before rebuilding.
Note: federation (the matrix-spec well-known port 8448) is
intentionally not opened here. tuwunel serves the federation
API on the same `httpPort` as the client-server API by
default; reaching it on 8448 requires either binding tuwunel
to that port explicitly OR a reverse-proxy + `.well-known/
matrix/server` delegation, neither of which lives in this
module. Add that proxy config alongside whatever serves your
dashboard or forge on 443.

E2EE adds key-management overhead (cross-signing, device
verification, undecryptable-message recovery) without a clear
threat-model win for the common single-hive case. Turn on when
agents join encrypted rooms on external / federated homeservers,
or when the operator wants message contents opaque to the
homeserver admin. Independent of the agent matrix client, which
always supports decryption so it can read encrypted rooms it is
invited to regardless of this flag; this option only governs
whether THIS homeserver permits room encryption.
