Claude e81a1b0df5 docs: create Cockpit deployment task for Chromebook workflow
Complete deployment plan for installing Cockpit web terminal on all 5 remaining servers (Command Center, Billing VPS, Panel VPS, TX1, NC1). Ghost VPS already has Cockpit operational.

Files created:
- docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/README.md - Task overview
- docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/deployment-plan.md - Technical strategy
- docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/installation-commands.md - Copy/paste micro-blocks

Why: Enable full server management from Chromebook without SSH dependency. Claude sessions block port 22, but Cockpit (port 9090) works perfectly.

Estimated time: ~1 hour for all 5 servers (~10 min each)
