Switch build, deployment, and operations to Node.js and remove Deno #351

Description

@dahlia

Problem

After application services run and pass validation on Node.js, the repository still needs one controlled operational cutover. Docker images, CI, mise tasks, migrations, maintenance scripts, health checks, documentation, and deployment configuration currently install or invoke Deno.

Tasks

  • Port migrations, key generation, account management, repair tools, translation checks, and health checks to Node.js.
  • Make Node.js commands authoritative in mise.toml.
  • Update CI, Docker build stages, runtime images, Compose, deployment manifests, and release metadata.
  • Split API, worker, and web-next runtime targets where that reduces image size and ownership ambiguity.
  • Exercise production cutover and rollback.
  • Remove Deno tasks, permissions, import maps, workspace configuration, lockfiles, cache layers, dependencies, and documentation.
  • Add a repository check that prevents accidental reintroduction of Deno-specific runtime APIs.

Acceptance criteria

  • Development, CI, code generation, tests, migrations, API, worker, web-next, and operational scripts use the pinned Node.js toolchain.
  • Production images do not contain Deno or its module cache.
  • No deno.json, deno.lock, Deno task, or maintained Deno.* runtime reference remains.
  • The deployed Node.js services pass health checks and production smoke tests.
  • The rollback plan has been tested before the Deno deployment path is deleted.
