fix(deploy): StartLimit* directives belong in [Unit], not [Service]
systemd 230+ moved StartLimitBurst= and StartLimitIntervalSec= from
[Service] into [Unit] (with the rename from StartLimitInterval=). Putting
them in [Service] makes systemd silently ignore them with a warning to
journalctl: "Unknown key 'StartLimitIntervalSec' in section [Service],
ignoring." — meaning the restart-loop cap I claimed in commit 519567e
wasn't actually applied.

# `-` prefix: chdir failure is non-fatal. systemd applies WorkingDirectory
# before every Exec line — including ExecStartPre — but the merged dir only
# exists once ExecStartPre's overlay mount succeeds. With `-`, ExecStartPre
# runs in the unit's home (cwd doesn't matter for the mount helper); the
# ExecStart re-applies WorkingDirectory after the mount and finds the dir.

# Single source of truth for the kernel-overlayfs mount: the web app's
# start_instance only stages cfg files and asks systemd to enable+start
# this unit; the actual `mount -t overlay` lives here so reboot auto-start
# works the same as a UI-driven start. Helper is idempotent.
#
# `+` prefix runs the helper as PID 1 (root, no sandbox). Required because
# the unit has NoNewPrivileges=true, which blocks sudo's setuid escalation
# — and the helper itself needs root to nsenter into PID 1's mnt namespace
# anyway, so bypassing sandbox here is no looser than the sudoers rule
# the web app uses for its own helper invocations.
