Research direction

Start with the referenced sections in docs/INSTALLATION.md around lines 215-220 and docs/DEPLOYMENT.md at lines 344 and 600. Compare the host-networking instructions with the current scheme described in the issue, including HTTPS on 8443, HTTP redirect on 8082, and the canonical Linux host-net URL. Done means both documents consistently show the current ports and URL rule.

Description

bug documentation severity:low verified

Surfaced during review of #379.

docs/INSTALLATION.md (~:215-220) and docs/DEPLOYMENT.md (:344, :600) still instruct users to open firewall ports 80/443 for server (host-networking) deploys. These have been stale since #306 moved the actual container bind ports to 8080/8443 (now 8082/8443 for the HTTP redirect after #379).

Suggested fix: update the docs to match the current host-networking scheme (HTTPS on 8443, HTTP redirect on 8082) and the canonical URL rule reconciled in #379 (Linux host-net → https://<host>:8443).

Docs-only; not blocking #379.
