fix(deploy): stop exposing renderer tuning as Coolify settings

Coolify lists every ${VAR} that compose.yml references as an app setting,
so the four renderer tuning values showed up as entries to fill in. They
are no longer referenced: the renderer's own defaults apply, and an
override goes into compose.yml as a literal.
