The tg (bot) VPS came up on Europe/Moscow while the main host is UTC, so host-level
timestamps (journald, file mtimes, cron) sat 3h apart across the fleet. Add a
community.general.timezone task to the common role so every provisioned host is UTC
(idempotent — a no-op on the already-UTC main host). Applied live to the tg host in
the same change; the containerised services run in UTC regardless, so no restart.

The backend recorded 172.19.0.9 — the gateway's own docker connection address — as
the client IP for all users: the account's last-login IP shown in the admin console,
and it never reached the backend access log. The gateway forwarded the client IP as
X-Forwarded-For only on chat/feedback calls; every other backend call (including the
profile fetch that stamps last_login_ip) sent none, so the backend fell back to the
peer address.

Carry the client IP on the request context (WithClientIP, mirroring WithPlatform) and
set it once per request in the Connect edge, so the backend client injects
X-Forwarded-For on every downstream REST call. Also add the resolved client IP to the
backend access log.

Test: WithClientIP rides a non-chat call (Profile) as X-Forwarded-For, and is absent
when no IP is set. Docs updated (ARCHITECTURE gateway↔backend + edge).
