feat(infra): WebRTC bridge + Caddy edge config + Tailscale Funnel

WebRTC bridge (5-Applications/webrtc-bridge/): - Go signaling server with pion/webrtc v4 + gorilla/websocket - Browser client with dark UI, RTT/ICE metrics, request builder - HTTP proxy over WebRTC data channel to Traefik - k3s deployment on 361395-1 with hostNetwork - Traefik IngressRoute at /webrtc with stripPrefix middleware - Bypasses Tailscale DERP relay latency (~129ms → direct P2P) Caddy edge config (5-Applications/caddy-edge/): - Caddyfile with Porkbun DNS-01 challenge - JSON config with explicit TLS connection policies - k3s deployment on 361395-1 with hostNetwork - Note: TLS handshake fails in Caddy 2.10.2 (internal error) despite certs being loaded. Using Tailscale Funnel instead. Infrastructure fixes: - Tailscale Funnel enabled on 361395-1 → Traefik - Traefik ingress for 361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net → Homer - Funnel hostname: https://361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net

+# WebRTC Bridge
+
+Bypass Tailscale DERP relay latency for the Research Stack k3s cluster.
+
+## Problem
+
+Tailscale Funnel on node `361395-1` exposes Traefik at
+`https://361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net`, but Funnel traffic traverses DERP
+relays, adding ~129 ms of latency per hop. For interactive workloads
+(dashboards, shell, streaming) this is unacceptable.
+
+## Solution
+
+A lightweight WebRTC bridge that establishes a direct peer-to-peer data
+channel between the browser client and the cluster node, bypassing DERP
+entirely. After a one-time signaling exchange over WebSocket, all HTTP
+traffic flows over the WebRTC data channel with sub-10 ms latency when
+both peers have direct connectivity.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+  Client NAT                              Tailscale mesh
+  (STUN resolves)                         (direct route)
+```
+
+### Components
+
+| Component | Language | Port | Description |
+|-----------|----------|------|-------------|
+| `signaling-server.go` | Go | 8080 | WebSocket signaling + static file server |
+| `client/index.html` | HTML/JS | — | Browser-side WebRTC client |
+| `Containerfile` | — | — | Multi-stage Go build |
+| `k8s/bridge.yaml` | YAML | — | k3s deployment manifests |
+
+### Signaling Flow
+
+1. Client opens WebSocket to `wss://361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net/webrtc/ws`
+2. Client creates `RTCPeerConnection` with public STUN servers
+3. Client creates SDP offer, sends via WebSocket
+4. Server receives offer, creates answer, sends back
+5. ICE candidates exchanged over WebSocket
+6. WebRTC data channel opens — signaling WebSocket may close
+7. Client sends HTTP requests as JSON over the data channel
+8. Server proxies requests to Traefik, returns responses
+
+### Data Channel Protocol
+
+Messages on the data channel are JSON-encoded HTTP request/response pairs:
+
+**Request (client → server):**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "req-uuid",
+  "method": "GET",
+  "path": "/api/v1/status",
+  "headers": {"Accept": "application/json"},
+  "body": ""
+}
+```
+
+**Response (server → client):**
+```json
+{
+  "id": "req-uuid",
+  "status": 200,
+  "headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
+  "body": "{\"ok\": true}"
+}
+```
+
+### NAT Traversal
+
+- Uses public STUN servers (`stun:stun.l.google.com:19302`,
+  `stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302`)
+- The server runs on `361395-1` with `hostNetwork: true`, so its
+  Tailscale IP `100.110.163.82` is directly reachable
+- If STUN fails to resolve a direct path, the connection falls back to
+  Tailscale's own NAT traversal (which is better than DERP for most cases)
+- A TURN server can be added later if needed
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Build the container image
+
+```bash
+cd 5-Applications/webrtc-bridge
+podman build -t localhost/webrtc-bridge:latest .
+```
+
+### Import into k3s
+
+```bash
+podman save localhost/webrtc-bridge:latest | ssh 361395-1 k3s ctr images import -
+```
+
+### Apply manifests
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f k8s/bridge.yaml
+```
+
+### Verify
+
+```bash
+kubectl -n edge get pods -l app=webrtc-bridge
+curl -s https://361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net/webrtc/health
+```
+
+## Access
+
+Open `https://361395-1.tail4e7094.ts.net/webrtc/` in a browser. The client
+will automatically connect via the signaling server, establish a WebRTC data
+channel, and begin proxying HTTP requests.
+
+## Future Work
+
+- [ ] Add TURN server for symmetric NAT scenarios
+- [ ] Multiplex multiple HTTP requests over a single data channel
+- [ ] Add connection quality metrics (RTT, packet loss)
+- [ ] Support WebSocket proxying through the data channel
+- [ ] Add authentication (Tailscale identity headers)
