8000 was Portainer's Edge tunnel, not a stray process. The first attempt at a
fix picked 18080/18081, which are the production dtf-cloud stack's own defaults
in docker-compose.yml: it would have passed only while that stack was down and
collided again the moment it came back.
Use 28080/28081/28000/29000/29001, clear of Portainer (8000, 9443), both
production stack definitions (18080/18081 and 8080/8081) and the usual MinIO
ports. The occupants are listed in the workflow so the next person choosing a
port can see what is taken.
Ephemeral ports would remove the guesswork but do not work here: the published
port is baked into PUBLIC_ORIGIN, ALLOWED_ORIGINS and the CSP when the
containers start, so it has to be known before they run.
Full suite verified on the new block, including the browser end-to-end.
