Subject: [PATCH] fix: explicit docker network for rock solid DNS resolution

Completely removes the Nginx resolver hack. By assigning all services
to a dedicated custom bridge network ('autopilot-net') and relying on
docker-compose 'depends_on', Docker's internal DNS is guaranteed to
resolve the 'autopilot-master' hostname cleanly at Nginx startup without
SERVFAILs.
