Closes #121. The Quick Deploy file was missing NETFLOW_BIND_PORT and the 2055/udp mapping, so the collector bound inside the container and nothing reached it. NetFlow did nothing, silently, with an empty traffic page and no error — for everyone following the path the README tells new users to take. The report was accurate and understated. docker-compose.ghcr.yml had drifted for seven weeks, and three closed issues had never reached it: * NETFLOW_BIND_PORT and the UDP port — as reported * all five POLLER_* tunables — #114, whose fix was "pass the tunables through" * the Redis memory ceiling and eviction policy — #116 * TZ on the postgres service, which nobody had noticed at all The middle one is the uncomfortable part. Four days ago #114 was closed by forwarding poller settings that were documented but inert, with a comment saying setting them "did precisely nothing". On Quick Deploy that remained true, because one compose file was fixed and the other was not — including the advice given to that reporter about which knob to turn. So patching the four gaps would have been treating the symptom. The two files describe the same system and differ only in where images come from; maintaining both by hand meant remembering every change twice, and the one forgotten was always the file no maintainer runs. docker-compose.ghcr.yml is now generated from docker-compose.yml by scripts/generate-ghcr-compose.mjs, which performs the two build-to-image swaps and nothing else. Substitution is textual rather than parse-and-reserialise so comments survive — the reasoning about Redis eviction is worth more than the two lines it explains. The file stays committed and browsable, because the README tells people to curl it directly. A --check mode runs as the first preflight gate and as its own CI job, both of which fail when the committed file does not match what the generator produces. Verified by deleting the NetFlow line and watching the guard reject it, with the reason and the fix in the failure message. Reported by @mamb1329, on their first issue.
