Replace the hardcoded `len(name) > 80` cap in the QG-0 entry validation
(_qg0_errors) with a configurable Settings.qg0_title_max (env
ORCH_QG0_TITLE_MAX, default 200). The 80-char cap was a hygiene limit, not
structural, so valid 81-200 char titles were rejected without a business
reason. The limit is read dynamically per call and the error text interpolates
the active value.
Graceful degradation (AC-3, self-hosting safety): an empty/non-numeric env
value no longer crashes the process on startup. A field_validator(mode="before")
intercepts the raw env before int-parsing and falls back to 200 (never raises),
suppressing pydantic ValidationError.
Additive and backward-compatible (default 200 > old 80). Invariants unchanged:
STAGE_TRANSITIONS, QG_CHECKS registry, DB schema, slug [:30], lower limits,
soft-QG-0 warning path, API.

- Add orchestrator-staging compose service under profile 'staging'
so normal 'docker compose up -d' does NOT start it.
- Port 8501 via command override; network_mode: host (no ports mapping needed).
- DB isolation via separate volume ./data/staging:/app/data — physically
separate from prod ./data/orchestrator.db on the host.
- ORCH_DB_PATH=/app/data/orchestrator.db explicit in env (same container
path, isolated by volume mount).
- Add .env.staging.example with all required keys and placeholders.
- Update .gitignore: add .env.staging and data/staging/ exclusions.
- Add docs/STAGING.md: how to start staging, architecture table, roadmap.
