feat: securing docker and vendor JavaScript deps

Enhance security and developer experience by vendoring JavaScript
dependencies locally and adding comprehensive Docker testing capabilities.

Changes:
- Vendor JavaScript dependencies to reduce supply chain attacks
  - marked.min.js (Markdown rendering)
  - datastar.js (reactive UI framework)
  - Both libraries now embedded in binary via go:embed

- Add Docker testing tasks to Taskfile
  - task docker-test: Quick build and version check
  - task docker-build: Build local Docker image
  - task docker-run: Run container interactively
  - task docker-compose-up/down/logs/rebuild: Manage compose services

- Update documentation
  - Document vendored dependencies and benefits
  - Add Docker testing commands section
  - Clarify zero Go dependencies architecture
  - Update DOCKER.md security features

- Fix configuration
  - Remove vendor/ from .dockerignore (needed for JS assets)
  - Update docker-compose.yaml environment variable handling
  - Serve vendored JS via dedicated handlers in main.go

Security benefits:
- Protection against compromised CDNs
- Reproducible builds with locked dependencies
- Offline execution capability
- Minimal attack surface (stdlib + 2 JS libraries)

 ## Image Details
 
 ### Base Images
-- **Build stage**: `golang:1.24-alpine` - Minimal Go environment
-- **Runtime stage**: `alpine:latest` - Minimal Linux distro
+- **Build stage**: `golang:1.24-alpine` - Minimal Go build environment
+- **Runtime stage**: `gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot` - Google's hardened distroless image
 
 ### Runtime Dependencies
-- `ca-certificates` - For HTTPS support
-- `curl` - For healthcheck support
-
-### Security
-- Runs as non-root user `lsget` (UID 1000)
-- Static binary with no CGO dependencies
-- Minimal attack surface with Alpine Linux
+- **None** - Fully static binary with ca-certificates embedded
+- No shell, no package manager, no GNU utilities
+- Minimal attack surface
+
+### Security Features
+- ✅ **Distroless base** - No shell, no package manager
+- ✅ **Non-root user** - Runs as UID 65532 (`nonroot`)
+- ✅ **Static binary** - No CGO, no dynamic linking
+- ✅ **Zero Go dependencies** - Uses only Go standard library
+- ✅ **Vendored JS assets** - JavaScript dependencies embedded in binary
+- ✅ **Minimal size** - Only ~11MB vs ~31MB with Alpine
+- ✅ **Reduced CVEs** - Minimal software = minimal vulnerabilities
+- ✅ **Immutable** - No way to exec into container or modify it
+
+### Trade-offs
+- ❌ **No debugging** - Can't `docker exec` into container (no shell)
+- ❌ **No healthcheck command** - Platforms must use external health checks
+- ⚠️ **Permission setup** - Volumes must be writable by UID 65532
 
 ### Volumes
 - `/data` - Directory for serving files

+**Security & Permissions:**
+
+The Docker image uses **Google's Distroless base** for maximum security:
+- ✅ **10.9MB** image size (65% smaller than Alpine)
+- ✅ No shell, no package manager
+- ✅ Minimal attack surface
+- ✅ Runs as non-root user (UID 65532)
+
+**Permission Setup for Volumes:**
+
+Since the container runs as UID 65532 (`nonroot` user), mounted volumes must be writable:
+
+```bash
+# Create directories with proper permissions
+mkdir -p files logs
+
+# Option 1: World-writable (simple, less secure)
+chmod 777 files logs
+
+# Option 2: Specific ownership (more secure)

+# Option 3: Your user + group write (best for dev)
+sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) files logs
+chmod 775 files logs

+
+**For Coolify/Platform Deployments:**
+
+Most platforms handle permissions automatically. If you encounter issues:
+- Coolify: Volume permissions are usually handled by the platform
+- Ensure the deployment user has write access to mount paths

+### Vendored Dependencies
+
+To enhance security and reduce supply chain attacks, JavaScript dependencies are vendored locally:
+
+**Go dependencies**: lsget has **zero direct Go dependencies** - it uses only the Go standard library. All dependencies in `go.mod` are indirect and only for development tools (air, golangci-lint).
+
+**JavaScript dependencies**: The following libraries are vendored locally and embedded in the binary:
+- `marked.min.js` - Markdown rendering library
+- `datastar.js` - Reactive UI framework
+
+**Updating vendored dependencies**:
+
+```bash
+# Update JavaScript dependencies
+task vendor
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Protection against supply chain attacks (compromised CDNs, malicious package updates)
+- ✅ No runtime dependencies (self-contained binary)
+- ✅ Reproducible builds (dependencies locked to specific versions)
+- ✅ Offline execution (no internet connection required)
+- ✅ Faster builds (no external downloads)
