+feat: `framework --deploy` actually ships via real deploy targets
+
+Wire ai-autopilot's `cloudflareTarget` / `dokployTarget` into the CLI so
+`--deploy cloudflare` / `--deploy dokploy` execute the deploy instead of only
+narrating a plan. Adds `--cf-project`, `--dokploy-url`, `--dokploy-app`, a
+`hostExecutor` that runs `wrangler` in the agent's workspace, and the `deployWith`
+step. Creds come from the environment; targets never throw on missing config
+(they report `{ deployed: false }`). `--fake` stays plan-only and deterministic.
