docs(deployment): split into local vs self-hosted, drop Render/Fly/DO
Reframe the deployment docs around the actual product story: Fabro
runs as a server, and the only deployment question is where that
server runs (laptop vs self-hosted Docker). Drop the Render, Fly.io,
and DigitalOcean guides and their config files; keep Railway as the
managed shortcut.

- New: administration/deployment.mdx (overview, two-mode framing)
- New: administration/self-host-docker.mdx (compose-first how-to)
- Move: administration/deploy-server.mdx -> reference/server-operations.mdx
  (it was operational reference, not deploy guidance)
- Delete: deploy-render.mdx, deploy-fly-io.mdx, deploy-digital-ocean.mdx
- Delete: render.yaml, fly.toml, railway.toml, Dockerfile.deploy
- docker-compose.yaml: load .env if present so users can drive the
  stack from a single env file end-to-end
- Update internal links and the docs-test that pinned the old path

<Note>
Fabro runs as a server. This quickstart runs everything locally on your laptop — no deployment required. To self-host the server for a team or 24/7 workflows, see [Deployment](/administration/deployment).
</Note>

<Tip>
Release binaries and the multi-arch Docker image ship with [SLSA Build Provenance](/reference/verifying-releases) attestations you can verify with `gh attestation verify`.
</Tip>
<Note>
Self-hosting the server? See [Self-host with Docker](/administration/self-host-docker) and [Server Operations](/reference/server-operations) for the install wizard, auth, and CLI-pointing.
</Note>
## Initialize your project
```bash
cd my-repo/
fabro repo init
```
This creates `.fabro/project.toml` and a starter workflow under `.fabro/workflows/hello/`.
## Configure API keys
Add at least one LLM provider key:
```bash
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=AI...
```
<Note>
You only need one provider key to get started. Add more to enable multi-model workflows.
</Note>
## Run your first workflow
```bash
fabro run hello
```
