docs: complete optional status app setup

[izadoesdev]

The optional status-app instructions now include the build and start commands, required tools, and port 3002. This completes #808’s self-host URL guidance and corrects the claim that Bun and Node are only needed for local development.

Validation: repository lint, all 33 typecheck tasks, and all 29 test tasks pass. The documented production build and start were exercised with synthetic local URLs: /health returned 200 and robots.txt used the configured status URL. All 14 local links/anchors and code fences pass. README only; no runtime changes.

@greptileai review this. Please review the complete final status-app setup instructions, including the URL guidance merged through #808/c9f688e6b and the build/start commands in this follow-up. Final head 74cd77e is based directly on staging containing merged #808. The README lists Node/Bun dependencies, all three public build variables, production build/start commands, port 3002, and the matching Compose STATUS_URL/dashboard rebuild. The exact commands passed a production build/start smoke with synthetic URLs, healthy HTTP 200, and robots.txt using the configured origin. Lint, 33 type tasks, 29 test tasks, and all 14 local links/anchors pass.

The documentation-only change appears safe to merge.
