Jordan Ramos c16d521070 docs(n8n): correct architecture for Debian 12 and Nginx Proxy Manager
Real-world deployment feedback revealed documentation mismatches:
- OS: Ubuntu references → Debian 12 (actual deployment)
- Reverse Proxy: Standalone nginx → Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM)

Changes Applied (30+ corrections in 4 batches):

Batch 1 - OS Corrections:
- Update OS template and PostgreSQL repo references to Debian 12

Batch 2 - NPM Terminology (10 updates):
- Update CT 102 specs (2 cores, 4GB RAM, 10GB disk)
- Rename nginx → nginx-proxy-mgr throughout
- Add NPM admin UI port 81 to diagrams
- Remove nginx-light/certbot from prerequisites

Batch 3 - Major Rewrites:
- Section VI-A: Complete NPM architecture overview
- Phase 7: Rewrite for NPM web UI (20min → 10min)
  * Replace SSH/manual config with browser-based setup
  * Add step-by-step proxy host creation guide
  * Include NPM-specific troubleshooting

Batch 4 - Minor Updates (15+ changes):
- Update troubleshooting sections for NPM
- Update architecture diagrams
- Update deployment workflows

Impact:
- Deployment time reduced (Phase 7: 20min → 10min)
- Complexity reduced (GUI vs manual nginx config)
- Accuracy improved (matches actual Debian 12 + NPM deployment)

Validated-by: Lab-Operator
Real-world-tested: PostgreSQL installation, NPM configuration
