Problem

Latest Thorium Web (main branch) disables the /read/manifest/route in production by default for security.

Solution

Set MANIFEST_ROUTE_FORCE_ENABLE=true in the Dockerfile to enable it.

• Removed =true default from the Dockerfile's ARG MANIFEST_ROUTE_FORCE_ENABLE
• The default value is now only defined in compose.yaml via ${MANIFEST_ROUTE_FORCE_ENABLE:-true}
• Dockerfile simply receives and uses the value passed from compose
• Kept the ENV MANIFEST_ROUTE_FORCE_ENABLE=$MANIFEST_ROUTE_FORCE_ENABLE approach
• Tested Copilot's suggested RUN + /etc/environment approach confirmed it doesn't work (Docker doesn't read /etc/environment for container env vars)
• Build-time ENV ensures Next.js bakes the value during pnpm build
