Subject: [PATCH] fix(deploy): inject Dokploy env into containers via env_file

The compose services declared only STORAGE_DIR and PORT under `environment`,
so DATABASE_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET and the Turnstile keys never reached the
containers: `docker compose` reads the generated .env for ${VAR} interpolation
(build args) but does not pass it into services on its own. `prisma migrate
deploy` therefore started with no DATABASE_URL and both containers exited 1 in
a restart loop.

Add `env_file: [.env]` to web and worker so the Environment tab actually
becomes runtime configuration, as the file's own comment already claimed.
