Serve the same court twice, so staging can be tried before the crowd arrives

The image now answers at /staging/ as well as /, via an alias to the same
root — that way the staging deploy works whether or not Coolify strips the
path prefix, and the staging branch needs no diff of its own to merge.

The manifest MIME moved from an exact-match location into the stock types
map: an exact match would have missed the /staging/ copy, and a regex
location would have out-ranked the prefix and resolved against root.
