## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Add the final MVP quality layer: German UI consistency, i18n preparation, accessibility checks, run/error observability, secret hygiene, basic testing coverage, and deployment-readiness for Coolify. This task makes the MVP safe enough to use for real internal acquisition work.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [ ] #1 Core UI text is German and organized so future i18n is feasible
- [ ] #2 No secrets are stored in source code, dashboard-editable records, logs, prompts, or raw LLM history
- [ ] #3 Dashboard surfaces integration errors for Google, PageSpeed, OpenRouter, Playwright, SMTP, Convex jobs, and Rybbit
- [ ] #4 Critical user flows have basic tests or repeatable verification notes: login, campaign run, audit generation, approval, send, follow-up, analytics
- [ ] #5 Coolify deployment notes cover required environment variables, Playwright browser dependencies, exposed port, and domain assumptions
<!-- AC:END -->

## Implementation Plan

<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
1. Audit UI copy for German consistency and avoid hard-to-localize scattered strings where practical.
2. Review secret handling and redact logs/prompts where needed.
3. Add integration status/error surfaces in dashboard run details.
4. Add smoke tests or documented verification flows for critical MVP paths.
5. Document Coolify deployment requirements, env vars, Playwright dependencies, and operational caveats.
