mealie: port container from Dockerfile to Nix (default.nix)

Wrap nixpkgs mealie in dockerTools.buildLayeredImage, replacing the
Node+Python Dockerfile build. nixpkgs ships a single `mealie` gunicorn
entrypoint serving the prebuilt frontend, so this is a clean single-
process wrap; the run wrapper mirrors the NixOS module (init_db Alembic
migrations, then gunicorn). DB stays SQLite on the mealie-data PVC.

Self-pins nixos-unstable (stable lags at 3.9.2) for mealie 3.16.0 -- a
forward 4-minor bump from v3.12.0 (the previously-deferred upgrade).
Breaking-change review v3.13-v3.16: no schema breaks, SQLite auto-migrates
forward; remaining changes minor (see service-versions.yaml notes). Source
PVC retained for rollback. Build verified on ringtail (exit 0, assert ok).

# Nix-built Mealie for ringtail (amd64).
#
# Replaces the from-source Dockerfile build (Node frontend + Python venv)

# serving the prebuilt frontend + backend — so this is a clean single-
# process wrap (unlike paperless, which is multi-process).
#
# Mealie stores its DB as SQLite under DATA_DIR (the mealie-data PVC at
# /app/data); there is no postgres. The run wrapper mirrors the nixpkgs
# mealie NixOS module: run `libexec/init_db` (Alembic migrations) first,
# then exec gunicorn.
#
# Self-pins nixos-unstable: stable nixpkgs lags at 3.9.2, unstable carries
# 3.16.0. This is a forward 4-minor bump from the v3.12.0 Dockerfile build
# (the deferred upgrade) — mealie auto-migrates the SQLite DB forward on
# startup via init_db; the source PVC is retained for rollback. The version
# assertion makes nix-build fail if a pin bump changes the version.

Recipe manager; built from source via forge mirror.
Upstream is at v3.17.0 as of 2026-05-11 (5 minor versions ahead).
Container/manifest still pinned to v3.12.0 — upgrade deferred to a
separate task (build new image, review changelog for breaking changes).
Recipe manager. Container ported from Dockerfile to Nix
(containers/mealie/default.nix wraps nixpkgs mealie from a pinned
nixos-unstable; single gunicorn process, SQLite on the mealie-data
PVC). Bumped v3.12.0 -> v3.16.0 as part of the port (the deferred
upgrade). Breaking-change review v3.13-v3.16: no schema breaking
changes, SQLite auto-migrates forward via init_db; notable items are
minor (OIDC missing-claims log -> DEBUG, NLP parser uses user-defined
units, Nuxt 3->4 frontend, new Announcements feature, path-traversal
patches). Source PVC retained for rollback. Build verified on ringtail.
