fix: mount /srv in resticontainer so absolute tierN symlinks resolve

The tierN bind mounts are absolute symlinks into /srv (compositions/<p>/tierN ->
/srv/com-*-tierN/<p>). Under /:/hostfs those targets are dangling inside the
container (restic reported "does not exist, skipping" for every path). Mount
/srv:/srv:ro at the same path with RESTIC_HOSTFS=/ so restic follows the
symlinks and records the real host paths.

 - No <node> arg; identity from FQDN + node.env.

+- backup superseded by the resticontainer migration (see below): the old whole-tier-root
+  restic snapshot is replaced by per-service, `restic.*`-label-driven backups.
 - ufw markers self-heal (delete ROOT + APEX blocks before inject).
 - envsubst -> string.Template.safe_substitute; wget/curl download -> urllib. Unset template
   vars stay LITERAL (envsubst emptied them) — typos surface instead of silently blanking.

+  container mount destinations — matched exactly, whole mount dir backed up),
+  `restic.backup.stop`, and `restic.hooks.pre-backup`/`post-backup` (run via docker exec).
+- It mounts the docker socket (list/inspect/exec/stop/start) and `/srv:/srv:ro`
+  (`RESTIC_HOSTFS=/`); apex data + checkouts live under /srv and the `@tierN` mounts
+  are absolute symlinks into /srv, so mounting /srv at the same path lets restic
+  follow them and record the real host paths, and snapshots the union in one run.
+- The whole-tier-root RO mounts and the explicit `/data/@tier1,2` backup args are gone;
+  a service is backed up only if it carries `restic.enable=true`. DB consistency is
+  per-service: a pre-backup hook dumps into a dedicated backed-up mount (e.g. postgres
+  `pg_dump … > /dumps/dump.sql`), never the live data dir. `backup/run` now guards on a
+  fresh snapshot landing for the host (a no-label repo would otherwise be a silent no-op).

 The **commons** of the apex fleet: a stock-python engine (`apex <group>/<action>`) and
 the shared core docker-compose, consumed by every node as the `commons/` git submodule.
 
+Full documentation: [docs.ermnvldmr.com/en/apex](https://docs.ermnvldmr.com/en/apex/).
+
 ## Layout
 - `apex` — launcher (python3, stdlib only); node `init.sh` symlinks it onto `PATH`.
 - `engine/` — the runner: CLI, identity, overlay, context, and the `ctx.*` helper library.
 - `actions/` — grouped actions; the path IS the name (`configure/ufw`, `tiers/link`, …).
 - `compositions/apex/docker-compose.yml` — the shared, `${env}`-parameterized core compose.
 - `vendor/` — pinned pure-python third-party (empty; see `vendor/VENDORED.md`).
-- `source/` — independent containerized tools (happ subscription generator).
 - `tests/` — stdlib `unittest` suite (`tests/run.sh`).
 
+Node-specific tooling lives in each node repo's `proprietaries/` — commons holds only
+what every node shares.
+
 ## Usage (on a node)
 `apex` acts on the **local checkout** — no `<node>` argument. Identity comes from the
 host FQDN (`<node>.a<x>.apex.ermnvldmr.com`) and `node.env`.

-# HAPP Subscription Generator
-
-**Disclaimer:** This tool is intended exclusively for **educational purposes** and **private networking** research. It is designed to demonstrate how to programmatically generate and manage subscription configurations for distributed network components.
-
-This tool generates `.psub` subscription files from a JSON configuration. It supports global routing via `happ://` links and multiple VLESS connection strings.
-
-## Features
-- **Global Routing**: Encodes your `routing` object into the `happ://routing/onadd/` link.
-- **Templates**: Define common Xray-core settings once and reuse them across users.
-- **Deep Merge**: User-specific `xray` overrides are merged with templates.
-- **Auto Remarks**: Generates readable titles based on country, protocol, and node names.
-- **ISO Lookup**: Automatically converts country codes (e.g., `US`) to names and emojis.
-
-## Usage
-
-The tool is designed to be run via the operator script:
-
-```bash
-./.operator/scripts/ops/generate-happ-subscriptions <input_json> <output_dir>
-```
-
-### JSON Format Specification
-
-The configuration file consists of three main top-level objects:
-
-1.  **`routing`**: Global routing settings (DNS, direct/proxy rules, etc.).
-2.  **`templates`**: Named connection templates containing shared protocol and stream settings.
-3.  **`users`**: List of users, each with a unique subscription key (`psub`) and a set of configurations derived from templates.
-
-#### Example Reference
-See [example.json](./example.json) for a comprehensive template of the configuration format.
-
-## Implementation Details
-- **Logic**: Written in Python 3.11 (standard library only).
-- **Isolation**: Runs inside a Docker container (`python:3.11-alpine`).

-HAPP subscription generator.
-
-Produces one .psub file per user. Each file contains:
-  line 1 : happ://routing/onadd/<base64>   (routing profile, unchanged behaviour)
-  line N : a share link for every config the user has
-
-Design
-------
-The config is written 1:1 against the HAPP / Xray share-link format. A template
-is just the literal pieces of a URI:
-
-    scheme   ->  vless:// , hy2:// , trojan:// , ss:// , socks:// , vmess://
-    host     ->  the @host part
-    port     ->  the :port part
-    id       ->  the userinfo before @  (uuid / password / auth)
-    params   ->  the ?a=b&c=d query, keys are the REAL link keys
-                 (type, security, sni, fp, alpn, flow, encryption,
-                  pbk, sid, spx, mode, path, host, serviceName,
-                  headerType, mux, obfs, ... whatever the link supports)
-
-Nothing is translated or guessed. Whatever you put in `params` is what goes in
-the link, url-encoded. This keeps the generator dumb and the config honest.
-
-Per-user `configs` entries deep-merge onto the named template, so a user only
-supplies the bits that differ (their `id`, their `params.sid`, etc.).
-
-The `#remark` is built from template metadata (country / nodes) + the user name.
