feat: add response compression middleware to reduce bandwidth (#928) (#935)

* feat: add response compression middleware for HTTP responses

Add compression middleware to Express server with SSE route exclusion
and 1KB threshold. Reduces bandwidth for non-streaming API responses
(history, sessions, files, static assets) by 60-80%.

Closes #928

* fix: harden proxy compression and proxy docs

Managed-local path note: `OPENCHAMBER_TUNNEL_CONFIG` must point to a path inside the container user home (`/home/openchamber/...`). If your Cloudflare config references a credentials JSON file, that file path must also be accessible inside the container (mount with `volumes`).
### Reverse proxy notes
- For a complete reverse proxy setup guide, see [`docs/REVERSE_PROXY.md`](./docs/REVERSE_PROXY.md).
- Website docs source lives at `packages/docs/content/docs/reverse-proxy.mdx`.
### Tunnel behavior notes
- OpenChamber supports one active tunnel per running instance (port).

# Reverse Proxy Setup
Use this guide when running OpenChamber behind Nginx, Nginx Proxy Manager, Caddy, Cloudflare, or another reverse proxy.
## Before you proxy it
1. Confirm OpenChamber works directly first.
2. Open `http://<server-ip>:3000` or your custom port from the same network.
3. Only add the reverse proxy after the direct connection works.
## What the proxy must support
- WebSockets for live message transport:
- `/api/event/ws`
- `/api/global/event/ws`
- `/api/terminal/ws`
- SSE without buffering:
- `/api/event`
- `/api/global/event`
- `/api/notifications/stream`
- `/api/openchamber/events`
- `/api/terminal/:sessionId/stream`
- Large request bodies for attachments and file operations
- Long-lived read timeouts for live streams and terminal sessions
## Rules that matter
- Enable WebSocket proxying.
- Disable buffering on SSE routes.
- Disable gzip on the proxy if OpenChamber is already compressing responses.
- Keep compression enabled in only one layer.
- Forward normal proxy headers such as `Host`, `X-Forwarded-For`, and `X-Forwarded-Proto`.
- Increase body size limits if users upload files.
## Quick checklist
- OpenChamber reachable directly on LAN
- WebSockets enabled in the proxy
- SSE routes have buffering off
- `gzip off` on the proxy host, or proxy compression disabled another way
- `client_max_body_size` large enough for attachments
- `proxy_read_timeout` long enough for streams

Also enable `Websockets Support` in Nginx Proxy Manager for this host.
## Common failure signs
### Page loads, but sending messages fails
- WebSockets are not enabled in the proxy
- `/api/event/ws` or `/api/global/event/ws` is not passing through correctly
### Notifications or live status do not update
- one of the SSE routes is buffered or cached
- `X-Accel-Buffering "no"` is missing
### File uploads fail
- `client_max_body_size` is too small
### Everything works locally, but breaks only behind the proxy
- the proxy is compressing and buffering live traffic
- the proxy is missing WebSocket support

Also enable `Websockets Support` in Nginx Proxy Manager for this host.
## Common failure signs
### Page loads, but sending messages fails
- WebSockets are not enabled in the proxy
- `/api/event/ws` or `/api/global/event/ws` is not passing through correctly
### Notifications or live status do not update
- one of the SSE routes is buffered or cached
- `X-Accel-Buffering "no"` is missing
### File uploads fail
- `client_max_body_size` is too small
### Everything works locally, but breaks only behind the proxy
- the proxy is compressing and buffering live traffic
- the proxy is missing WebSocket support
