Follow-up to #240. The backend service env block is an explicit allow-list that omitted OWNER_EMAIL, so setting it in .env never reached the app and the instance had no owner despite the var being set. Adds the passthrough (verified live on prod: backend now reports [email protected]).

Flags a broader gap in the body: AI provider keys + SMTP are similarly not forwarded — a noted follow-up.

compose: forward OWNER_EMAIL to the backend container 88beb9650f

The instance-owner feature reads OWNER_EMAIL, but the backend service's
environment block is an explicit allow-list that didn't include it — so setting
it in .env never reached the app (is_instance_owner always saw "" → no owner).
Add the passthrough.

NOTE: the same allow-list omits the AI provider keys (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
OPENAI_*, XAI_*, OLLAMA_*) and SMTP settings, so those documented env vars also
don't currently reach the backend on this deployment. Worth a follow-up
(forward them explicitly, or switch the service to env_file) so .env actually
drives all configuration per the twelve-factor rule.
