fix(deploy): pass NATS_HOST/NATS_PORT and autonomy gates through compose

The agents connect with NATS_HOST/NATS_PORT (NATS_URL is informational), but
docker-compose only forwarded NATS_URL. That was masked while system_config
carried the real host as a hardcoded default; after the secrets scrub the
default is localhost, so a deploy would have sent every NATS connection —
message bus, DispatchAgent, ExceptionAgent — to localhost.

Also forwards the autonomy gates (all default false) plus DISPATCH_REALERT_EVERY
and LLM_MODEL, so production behaviour is set in .env rather than by code
defaults. .env.example updated to match.
