Fact-check docs against live cluster and repo history

Corrected stale claims found by cross-referencing git history and live
kubectl/SSH state:
- Drop Terraform provisioning claim (VMs are created by the ansible-homelab
  proxmox role via community.proxmox.proxmox_kvm; terraform/ is empty)
- Bump k3s badge to the version actually running (v1.36)
- Drop Elastic Stack as a live logging path - it was disabled in favor of
  agentmemory and has no namespace or ArgoCD Application anymore
- Drop zeroclaw from the app list - manifests exist but it was never wired
  into ArgoCD's app registry, so it has never actually run

Added detail confirmed against live state: Longhorn's Hetzner backup
target, node_cleanup containerd-pruning timer, MikroTik static DHCP
leases, Prometheus cardinality/false-positive-alert tuning, actual
CNPG cluster inventory, corrected MetalLB pool size, aya01's real NFS
capacity, k3s-server11's post-rebuild spec drift, and the naruto01
etcd quorum concentration.

No ports are open on the home router. Internal load balancing goes through MetalLB + Traefik. External access uses Cloudflare tunnels or a WireGuard VPN routed through the edge VPS.
Longhorn handles block storage by replicating volumes across all 14 agent nodes. The media library lives on a dedicated NFS host instead — latency matters when Jellyfin is reading large video files, and NFS is simpler for that.
Longhorn handles block storage by replicating volumes across all 14 agent nodes, with backup snapshots shipped off-site to a Hetzner Storage Box over CIFS. The media library lives on a dedicated NFS host instead — latency matters when Jellyfin is reading large video files, and NFS is simpler for that.
Metrics go to Prometheus + Grafana. Logs go to Loki, also surfaced in Grafana — Promtail runs as a DaemonSet and ships pod logs from every node.
All VMs are provisioned with Terraform and configured by Ansible. Rebuilding from scratch doesn't require remembering anything.
Not every HA guarantee holds up under scrutiny — two of the three etcd control-plane VMs currently run on the same physical Proxmox host (`naruto01`), a single point of failure for cluster quorum that surfaced during an incident and is still on the list to rebalance.
All VMs are provisioned and configured by Ansible — the `proxmox` role calls the Proxmox API directly (`community.proxmox.proxmox_kvm`) to clone, resize, and boot VMs from cloud-init templates, then the rest of the playbooks configure them. Rebuilding from scratch doesn't require remembering anything.

All VMs run Debian 12 on `virtio` network bridges, provisioned from cloud-init templates via Ansible. The Raspberry Pi runs Docker Compose, managed by the same Ansible setup. A MikroTik router is also under Ansible's control — it backs up its RouterOS config to Git on every run and gets static DHCP leases pinned for the k3s nodes, so a lease renewal can't silently move a node's IP.
