feat: implement automated Docker deployment and update README

- Replaced manual rsync/npm_deploy workflow with multi-stage Docker builds.
- Added Dockerfile and .dockerignore for staging and production environments.
- Added 'deploy:staging' and 'deploy:prod' scripts to package.json.
- Updated README.md with new deployment instructions.

 # How to build and deploy SvelteKit:
 
-Copy the contents of the "build" directory to ./npm_deploy/build/
+The deployment is now fully automated using Docker Compose. The application is built directly from source inside a clean Docker environment, eliminating the need for manual `rsync` or `npm_deploy` management.
 
+### Commands
+
+Run these commands from the root of the `aether_app_sveltekit` project:
+
+#### 1. Deploy to Staging (Dev)
+This builds and restarts the staging containers (`ae_app_node_dev`, etc.) on your local workstation.
 ```bash
-npm run build
+npm run deploy:staging
 ```
 
-If this is just a quick build update then only the build directory needs to be copied (rsync).
-
+#### 2. Deploy to Production
+This builds the image using production flags and restarts the production containers.
 ```bash
-rsync -vhrz --exclude 'node_modules' ~/OSIT_dev/aether_app_sveltekit/build/ ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
-
-rsync -vhrz ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ scott@linode.oneskyit.com:/srv/env/prod_aether_sveltekit/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
+npm run deploy:prod
 ```
 
-If this includes package updates (not development) we need to copy the new package.json. Manually copy the new package.json file to ./npm_deploy/. This also needs to be copied to the server. Copy the package.json even though not really used.
+### Technical Details
 
-Run the --omit dev to clear out the node_modules directory. Copy the root node_modules directory to ./npm_deploy/build/node_modules/ after running te omit dev command.
+- **Dockerfile**: Uses a multi-stage build. Stage 1 (builder) installs dependencies and builds the app using the `BUILD_MODE` argument. Stage 2 (runtime) creates the final lightweight image.
+- **Environment Handling**: 
+    - `PUBLIC_` variables are baked into the image during the build step based on `.env.staging` or `.env.prod`.
+    - Private runtime variables are passed via the `env_file` in `docker-compose.yml`.
+- **Networking**: Containers are automatically joined to the `ae_dev_net` network to allow local Nginx proxying.
+- **Legacy Migration**: The `upstream` in the local Nginx configuration has been updated to point to these new SvelteKit containers on port 3000.
 
-```bash
-npm ci --omit dev
-
-# copy/paste, rsync, or cp
-rsync -vhrz ~/OSIT_dev/aether_app_sveltekit/node_modules ~/OSIT_dev/ae_env_node_app/npm_deploy/build/ --delete
-
-# copy package.json as well
-
-npm install
-```
-
-Everything should be ready to run on the development server and production server.
