Homelable could only own the root of an origin. Behind an existing proxy
at `https://home.example/homelab/` the built `index.html` still asked for
`/assets/*`, which fell through to whatever owned the root — and when
that answered `text/html` for a `<script>` under `nosniff`, the browser
failed the load on an HTTP 200. The only workaround was patching the
checkout and rebuilding on every upgrade.
One build-time knob, `VITE_BASE_PATH`, becomes Vite's `base`. Vite
rewrites the asset URLs it emits; everything the app builds by hand goes
through the new `utils/basePath.ts` — the axios instances, the WebSocket
URL, the live-view route, the local brand icons, and the OIDC login href.
`resolveServerPath` covers what the *backend* hands back, which is always
root-absolute because it cannot know where the SPA is mounted: uploaded
floor-plan URLs already stored in a canvas are resolved at render time,
so plans predating the move keep loading. The OIDC callback used to
redirect to `/`, dropping subpath users at the origin root after login;
it now reads the prefix back out of `OIDC_REDIRECT_URI`.
The default is `/`, and stays a no-op there by construction: every helper
returns the string it returned before, the root build output is unchanged
and both nginx sites are byte-identical to what shipped — the Docker
image copies `docker/nginx.conf` verbatim and the installer keeps its
original heredoc. Only a non-default prefix takes the generated config.
Those generated configs use `root`, never `alias`, since `alias` plus
`try_files` mis-resolves `$uri` — the Docker build lands the bundle in
the matching subdirectory, and the installer symlinks it under
`/var/www/homelable`. Both accept either reverse-proxy style, prefix
forwarded intact or already stripped, with no redirect loop between them,
and `absolute_redirect off` stops the no-slash 301 from eating the port.
Closes#334.
