Bump to v0.4, document self-hosted backend in README

The rework-backend merge added an optional self-hosted Express/ws/SQLite
backend (npm workspaces, single-container Docker deployment) alongside
the existing Firebase default. Bump APP_VERSION and refresh README to
cover both storage modes and the new repo layout.

     * A **prevent sleep toggle** (moon/coffee icon, top-right corner) uses the browser Wake Lock API to keep the screen on while active.
 * **Combat Action Log:** A running log of combat events (HP changes, condition changes, turn advances, participant additions/removals, encounter starts/ends, etc.) is available at `/logs`. Entries are timestamped and tagged with the encounter name. Most entries include an **↩ Undo** button that rolls back the action in Firestore (restoring HP, conditions, turn order, etc.). Rolled-back entries are greyed out with a strikethrough. The log can be cleared in bulk from that page.

+### Self-Hosted Backend (Optional)
+
+If you'd rather not depend on Firebase/Google, the app can run entirely self-hosted: a Node/Express + `ws` backend backed by SQLite, with the frontend talking to it instead of Firestore. Intended for trusted/local networks (no auth layer yet).
+
+**Quickest path — Docker Compose (single container: Caddy + Node + SQLite):**
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
+```
+This serves the app at `http://localhost:8080` (override with `PORT`), proxies `/api` and `/ws` to the backend, and persists the SQLite database in a named Docker volume. Override the Firestore-style app-id namespace with `TRACKER_APP_ID` if needed.
+
+**Local dev (backend + frontend separately):**
+```bash
+npm install                # installs root, server/, and shared/ workspaces
+npm run server:dev         # starts backend on :4001 (SQLite at server/data/tracker.sqlite)
+
+# in another terminal:
+REACT_APP_STORAGE=ws \
+REACT_APP_BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:4001 \
+REACT_APP_BACKEND_WS=ws://127.0.0.1:4001/ws \
+npm start
+```
+
+See `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` for the full architecture (generic KV doc store, storage adapter interface, test layers) and `docs/REWORK_PLAN.md` for the design rationale.
