+feat(deploy): add HAProxy blue/green compose stack
+
+Two relays behind HAProxy with `/readyz` health checks and `option redispatch`, plus a rolling recreate script that replaces one relay at a time for zero-downtime image updates. Optional Redis stream fan-out (`RELAY_BROADCAST_FANOUT`) lets both relays share live WebSocket broadcasts while workers keep using cluster `process.send`.

+## Zero-downtime updates (HAProxy blue/green)
+
+`deploy/docker-compose.haproxy.yml` replaces the single-relay stack with two
+relays (`nostream-blue`, `nostream-green`) behind HAProxy on `127.0.0.1:8008`.
+Postgres, Redis, and migrations are unchanged.
+
+The HAProxy compose file **always sets `RELAY_BROADCAST_FANOUT=true` on relay
+services** (even if bootstrap `.env` leaves it `false` for the single-relay
+stack). Both relays publish accepted events to a shared Redis stream; each
+cluster primary subscribes and fans out to its workers so live WebSocket clients
+stay in sync when HAProxy balances across blue and green.
+
+Do **not** run the single-relay `docker-compose.yml` stack and the HAProxy stack
+at the same time: both bind `127.0.0.1:8008`. Stop the old stack before starting
+blue/green:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/nostream
+docker compose down   # single-relay stack, if it was running
+```
+
+Install alongside `.env` and `postgresql.conf`, then start:
+
+```bash
+cp deploy/docker-compose.haproxy.yml deploy/rolling-relay-recreate.sh /opt/nostream/
+cp -r deploy/haproxy /opt/nostream/
+chmod +x /opt/nostream/rolling-relay-recreate.sh
+cd /opt/nostream
+docker compose -f docker-compose.haproxy.yml up -d
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8008/readyz
+```
+
+HAProxy sets `X-Forwarded-For`. In `.nostr/settings.yaml` (or your settings
+overrides), enable forwarded client IPs when using this stack:
+
+```yaml
+network:
+  remoteIpHeader: x-forwarded-for
+  trustedProxies:
+    - "127.0.0.1"
+    - "::ffff:127.0.0.1"
+    - "::1"
+    # HAProxy container on the compose network (get after first up):
+    # docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' nostream-haproxy
+```
+
+To update, load the new image, run migrations, then replace relays one at a time:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/nostream
+docker compose -f docker-compose.haproxy.yml run --rm nostream-migrate
+./rolling-relay-recreate.sh
+```
+
+The script requires the peer relay to be running and `/readyz` healthy before it
+stops either backend. It waits for each replacement to become healthy before
+moving to the second relay. HAProxy health-checks `/readyz` every 2s and retries
+failed requests on the other backend (`option redispatch`). Set
+`STOP_GRACE_PERIOD` (default `45s`) above `WS_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS` (default 30s) so
+WebSocket drain finishes before Docker sends SIGKILL.
