🎨 Made the piped launcher install a production site by default, as Ghost-CLI does

[acburdine]

curl -fsSL https://docker.ghost.org/install.sh | bash -s -- install --local names install twice. Two changes shorten the first run to match Ghost-CLI, where ghost install is production and ghost install local is local:

curl -fsSL https://docker.ghost.org/install.sh | bash                          # production; asks for the domain
curl -fsSL https://docker.ghost.org/install.sh | bash -s -- --domain example.com
curl -fsSL https://docker.ghost.org/install.sh | bash -s -- --local

Piped with no command, the launcher runs install

Renaming install.sh was considered and rejected: -s -- is bash's syntax for a piped script's arguments, so no filename removes it.

• Only when the script is read from a pipe and no command word was given. Options keep their order after the inserted install; the --import bundle is still resolved and mounted.
• Explicit commands are unchanged: bash -s -- install … and bash -s -- self-update still work. A site's own ./ghost-docker never gets a default.
• The served-launcher CI check for the newest beta now pipes without a command, so the default is exercised against the published install.sh; the --release check still names install.

install is production unless --local

• The "What kind of site?" question is gone; at a terminal only the domain is asked for.
• Without a terminal, or with --no-prompt, a missing --domain is a usage error that also names --local: a production site needs --domain example.com; for a local site, use --local.
• Imports are unaffected: the bundle still decides the mode.

Docs, README and docker.ghost.org drop install from the curl examples and describe production as the default.

Testing

• Manager: format, lint, typecheck and pnpm test (504 tests) pass; install tests updated for the domain-only question and the new usage error.
• tests/e2e/launcher.sh fake-Docker half passes on bash 3.2 and 5, including the new step (piped, no command, --channel + --import → install …, bundle mounted; from a file → no command added).
• shellcheck and shfmt clean.
• Locally, the real-Docker half failed at "The image, as a published one would be used" (doctor's writable probe, ENOENT under macOS's temp dir on OrbStack). That run names its command from a file, so this change doesn't reach it; left to CI.
