chore(docs): prevent misconfigured cluster networking

[yordis]

• Prevents operators from routing internal cluster traffic to the client listener after the network boundary changed.
• Avoids deployments that inherit retired TCP assumptions or fail their container healthcheck.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Changes are documentation, Docker/sample env fixes, and test-runner filters—no server runtime code in the diff—so production behavior risk is limited to operators following outdated compose or upgrade guidance.

Overview
Aligns operator docs and sample deployments with the current model: database clients on the node HTTP(S) listener, while gossip, elections, replication, and leader forwarding use gRPC on the separate cluster listener (ReplicationIp / default port 1112), with no legacy EventStore TCP client or replication protocol.

Docker Compose and samples are corrected so gossip seeds target the cluster port (1112, not 2113), nodes set EVENTSTORE_NODE_HOST_ADVERTISE_AS (and sample cluster compose adds EVENTSTORE_NODE_IP), and the runtime Dockerfile no longer documents a stray 1113 expose alongside 1112 and 2113.

Documentation is updated across networking, cluster, security, architecture, Admin UI, diagnostics, installation, upgrade, and what’s new: dual-endpoint TLS, advertisement settings (ReplicationPortAdvertiseAs vs deprecated TCP names), Monitoring.ConnectionStats / ReplicationStats instead of TCP-oriented stats, and upgrade/TestClient notes for retired TCP commands and protos.

Housekeeping: .gitignore drops a generated ClientAPI assembly path; scripts/test.sh stops filtering legacy TCP plugin tests and gives the core-services shard a longer timeout.

Walkthrough

Documentation now describes gRPC over separate node and cluster HTTP(S) endpoints and updates related security, monitoring, and migration guidance. Container examples and test configuration also change, and .gitignore no longer excludes the assembly version file.

Changes

Endpoint and protocol transition

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Endpoint responsibilities and cluster traffic docs/README.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/cluster.md, docs/networking.md, docs/security.md, docs/installation.md	Documentation assigns database APIs to the node HTTP(S) endpoint and cluster coordination, forwarding, and replication to the cluster HTTP(S) endpoint. It updates endpoint, TLS, advertisement, and network reachability guidance, and describes the absence of a legacy EventStore TCP protocol listener.
Monitoring and migration guidance docs/admin-ui.md, docs/diagnostics/README.md, docs/upgrade-guide.md, docs/whatsnew.md	Documentation describes active HTTP/gRPC connections and gRPC replication sessions, updates monitoring references, and revises upgrade and supported-protocol guidance.
Deployment and test configuration Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, samples/server/docker-compose-cluster.yaml, scripts/test.sh, .gitignore	The image exposes ports 1112 and 2113, and the container examples set node addresses and gossip seed ports. TCP API plugin tests move to the core-rest filter, the core-services timeout increases to 20 minutes, and the assembly version path is no longer ignored.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to eabd0

Clarify the TLS-disabled DNS guidance before merging. The wording is inaccurate, but it does not cause the server to use the wrong scheme.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in docs/whatsnew.md: Added documentation bullet stating database client APIs, cluster replication, and follower-to-leader forwarding are gRPC-only, replacing the old "gRPC-first" event-access wording which is removed.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/whatsnew.md: Added documentation bullets stating the server has no documented legacy EventStore TCP protocol listener or TCP transport configuration.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/whatsnew.md: Added documentation bullets stating the Admin UI reports shared-endpoint connections and gRPC replication sessions without depending on the removed legacy listener, and that EventStore.TestClient operational commands exercise the supported gRPC APIs.
• observed — Modified behavior in Dockerfile: The runtime image's exposed TCP ports changed from 1112, 1113, and 2113 to 1112 and 2113, removing 1113.

_{A rabbit reads the ports at night,
Two endpoints mark the routes just right.
The gRPC seeds hop node to node,
While stats describe the traffic’s load.
The test queue finds a newer track,
And carrots celebrate the stack.}
