docs: add nginx subpath deployment template

Users deploying behind a reverse proxy need a config they can adapt.

The template documents each proxy block and centralizes upstream/subpath values.

It also notes that Nginx location matchers still require literal subpath edits.

+# CloudCLI UI Nginx subpath deployment template.
+#
+# Purpose:
+#   Serve CloudCLI UI from a path prefix such as:
+#     http://localhost/ai/
+#     https://example.com/ai/
+#
+# CloudCLI itself still runs at the root of its own HTTP server, for example:
+#     http://127.0.0.1:3001/
+#
+# Nginx receives public requests under /ai, strips that prefix, and forwards the
+# remaining path to CloudCLI. For example:
+#     /ai/                  ->  /
+#     /ai/session/abc       ->  /session/abc
+#     /ai/assets/index.js   ->  /assets/index.js
+#
+# Important Nginx limitation:
+#   Nginx does not allow variables in `location` matchers or `rewrite` regexes.
+#   The configurable variables below are still useful for proxy/filter values,
+#   but if you change /ai to a different subpath, also update every line marked:
+#     [SUBPATH LITERAL]
+#
+# To use a different subpath, replace these literal matchers:
+#     location = /ai
+#     location ^~ /ai/
+#     rewrite ^/ai(?<cloudcli_path>/.*)$ ...
+#
+# Recommended deployment shape:
+#   CloudCLI is the only app using /ai, while root paths /api, /ws, and /shell
+#   are also proxied because the current frontend still calls those endpoints
+#   with root-relative URLs.
