Self-host the Terse control plane

Boot a full local copy of the Terse control plane (backend + frontend + Postgres) inside Docker via npx create-terse. This installs the platform itself; it is not the same as building a workflow. If the user actually wants to build a workflow on Terse Cloud, hand off to the terse-create skill instead.

Read references/self-hosting.md now and follow it end to end. It carries the full npx create-terse flow: prerequisite checks, interactive vs non-interactive runs, error recovery, post-bootstrap integration setup (the OAuth env-var table), and the production-exposure caveats to surface before the instance leaves localhost.
