home-assistant: its directories are placed, and it runs the build in use

The module stated /services/home-assistant/config and bound its route under
/var/lib/mesh — novox's layout, a path no definition may carry (ADR 0112).
The config dir and the module's state are now placed (${dir:config},
${dir:state}); the route binds into ${dir:state}.

The sidecar no longer mounts Home Assistant's config dir: nothing reads
MESH_HOMEASSISTANT_CONFIG_DIR, and the mount handed it the auth store and
secrets.yaml for nothing. The config dir loses owner 1000:1000 — the image
runs as root, the uid was the predecessor's host-user convention.

Two more listens that the software opens by default and LAN devices dial in
on, which a converged filter would otherwise close: 1400 (Sonos event
callback) and 18555 (bundled go2rtc WebRTC). Host network, so the machine
port is the software's.

Image pinned to the 2026.9.3 build ace's predecessor runs (2026-09-18);
Home Assistant migrates its recorder schema, so older than running is unsafe.

Verified: catalogue tests pass with MESH_CATALOGUE on this tree; the pinned
image boots on a fresh root-owned 0700 config dir (manifest 200, API 401
without a token), and refuses X-Forwarded-For from an untrusted proxy (400).
