PR review (#371): scope the self-host baseline to envs that make sense without reselling Plunk. docker-compose.yml: pass through only DISABLE_SIGNUPS (private/single- admin self-host) and EMAIL_RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND (works around the silent 14/sec fallback when ses:GetSendQuota is denied). Drop the VERIFY_EMAIL_ON_SIGNUP and OPENROUTER_API_KEY passthroughs — signup hygiene and phishing detection are reselling concerns. .env.self-host.example: drop the entire Stripe Billing block (billing only matters when reselling), drop the VERIFY_EMAIL_ON_SIGNUP doc block for the same reason, and add an EMAIL_RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND section explaining the silent-14/sec fallback so operators know why they'd set it.
