vel isolation on kasse: own Kanidm(:8443)+NATS(:4223) behind the host Caddy

The vel keeps its own identity+bus so it can later lift onto a host of its own
unchanged. On kasse it runs in isolation fronted by kasse's host Caddy: kanidm
publishes 127.0.0.1:8443 (shared Kanidm is on 8310) and nats publishes
127.0.0.1:4223 (kasse's shared platform NATS owns 4222). README documents the
two conf.d site blocks (portal -> :3050, id -> https://localhost:8443 with
tls_insecure_skip_verify), the reload port, and the app@ handoff.

+## Running on kasse (behind the host Caddy)
+
+The vel keeps its **own** Kanidm and NATS here so it can later lift onto a host
+of its own unchanged — on kasse it just runs in isolation, fronted by kasse's
+existing host Caddy (which owns 80/443). So the bundled Caddy stays off (it's
+behind `profiles: [edge]`); run the default `podman compose up -d --build`.
+The services publish loopback-only ports for the host Caddy to reach:
+
+- portal → `127.0.0.1:3050`
+- kanidm → `127.0.0.1:8443` (internal self-signed TLS)
+- nats   → `127.0.0.1:4223` (kasse's shared platform NATS owns 4222)
+
+Add two host-Caddy site blocks in `/etc/caddy/conf.d/`, using the vel's `.env`
+hosts (`vel.klingenbergbygg.no → :3050` already exists):
+
+```
+<PORTAL_HOST> {
+	reverse_proxy localhost:3050
+}
+<ID_HOST> {
+	reverse_proxy https://localhost:8443 {
+		transport http { tls_insecure_skip_verify }
+	}
+}
+```
+
+Then `sudo systemctl reload caddy`, point the content repo's `lint-and-reload`
+reload step at `nats://127.0.0.1:4223`, and retire the old systemd portal:
+`sudo systemctl disable --now app@tomtervel-portal`.
