docs: end-to-end self-host setup guide
Adds docs/ with a reading-order flow that covers:
  - getting started (fork, install, run locally)
  - supabase setup + migrations
  - whatsapp business api + webhook wiring
  - environment variable reference
  - hostinger vps deploy walkthrough
  - automations cron scheduling
  - troubleshooting for the common issues

Rewrites the top-level README as a pointer into docs/ instead of the
create-next-app boilerplate.

# Supabase setup
WaCRM uses Supabase for Postgres, authentication, row-level security (RLS),
and (optionally) storage. You need one Supabase project per WaCRM
deployment.
## 1. Create the project
1. Sign in at <https://supabase.com> and create a **new project**.
2. Pick the region closest to your users. Save the database password shown
at creation time — you will not see it again.
3. Wait for the project to provision (about a minute).
## 2. Grab your keys
Open **Project Settings → API** in the Supabase dashboard. Copy:
- **Project URL** → `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL`
- **anon / public** key → `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`
- **service_role** key → `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY`
Paste them into `.env.local`.
> **Do not commit the service-role key.** It bypasses RLS entirely. The
> repo's `.gitignore` already excludes `.env.local` — keep it that way.
## 3. Run the migrations
All schema changes live in `supabase/migrations/` as plain SQL and are
idempotent (safe to re-run). The simplest way to apply them:
### Option A — SQL Editor (quickest)
1. Open **SQL Editor** in the Supabase dashboard.
2. For each file in `supabase/migrations/`, in numeric order:
- `001_initial_schema.sql`
- `002_pipelines_enhancements.sql`
- `003_broadcast_recipient_wamid.sql`
- `004_contact_delete_set_null.sql`
- `005_broadcast_counts_incremental.sql`
- `006_automations.sql`
- `007_automations_increment_counter.sql`
3. Paste into the editor and run. Each file prints its own status.
### Option B — Supabase CLI
```bash
npm install --global supabase
supabase login
supabase link --project-ref <your-project-ref>
supabase db push
```
The CLI applies every file in `supabase/migrations/` on top of the linked
project.
## 4. Verify
Open **Table Editor** in the Supabase dashboard. You should see tables
including `profiles`, `contacts`, `conversations`, `messages`, `pipelines`,
`broadcasts`, `automations`, and `whatsapp_config`. If any are missing, a
migration failed — re-run it and check the SQL output.
## 5. Auth settings
Under **Authentication → Providers**, confirm:
- **Email** is enabled (default).
- **Confirm email** is on for production, off for local if you want
frictionless testing.
Under **Authentication → URL Configuration**, add your production URL
(e.g., `https://crm.example.com`) to the allow-list so password-reset
emails link back correctly.
## 6. (Optional) Storage
WaCRM downloads WhatsApp media through Meta's `/download` endpoint and
currently relays it on demand rather than caching it in Supabase Storage.
No bucket setup is required for a default install.
