Add a friendly 502/503/504 page (nginx serves it directly, no backend needed)

Avoids the cap_net_bind_service dance breaking on every RVM ruby patch
upgrade (it happened today after today's ruby-4.0.7 install).

-Unified UI for printing labels/stickers:
+Unified UI for printing labels/receipts:
 
 * Native ZPL printing to a Datamax-ONeil thermal barcode printer
 * A proxy/switcher in front of three https://github.com/DL6ER/brother_ql_web[brother_ql_web] instances, one per Brother QL printer
+* ESC/POS receipt printing to an Epson TM-T20II
 
 == Routes
 
-* `/` -- upload a PDF and print it (ZPL)
-* `/upload` -- upload form
-* `/test-print` -- print the bundled test label
+* `/` -- home page, links to everything below
+* `/upload`, `POST /upload` -- upload a PDF/ZPL file and print it (Datamax)
+* `POST /shipping/zpl` -- print raw ZPL text (see "API usage" below)
+* `/test-print` -- print the bundled Datamax test label
+* `/epson` -- receipt printing UI (title/body/QR template, or raw ESC/POS mnemonic notation)
+* `POST /epson/print` -- print a title/body/QR receipt
+* `POST /epson/raw` -- print already-formatted ESC/POS mnemonic notation (see "API usage" below)
+* `POST /epson/test-print` -- print an Epson capability test page (text sizes, barcode, QR, raster image)
+* `/labels` -- shared repository of saved ZPL labels / ESC-POS receipts (list, edit, preview, print, delete)
 * `/brother` -- list of Brother QL printers
 * `/brother/<printer>/*` -- proxied to that printer's brother_ql_web instance (UI and API alike)
 
+== API usage (e.g. from Gitea Actions)
+
+`POST /shipping/zpl` and `POST /epson/raw` are plain, unauthenticated form-POST endpoints -- no session/login needed, and printing without a `save_as`/`commit` param just prints (nothing gets kept in the label repository). That makes labelprint usable as a "dumb" print API for other automation: it doesn't need to know anything about the caller, and the caller doesn't need any labelprint-specific client, just an HTTP form POST.
+
+Example: `randy/home-gitops` has a workflow (`.gitea/workflows/print-issues.yaml` + `scripts/print_issues.rb`) that fetches its own open issues via the Gitea API and prints a summary on the Epson receipt printer -- the Gitea-specific logic (fetching, formatting) lives entirely in that script, not here:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+require 'net/http'
+
+res = Net::HTTP.post_form(
+  URI('http://rpi-printserver.hv.priesol.net/epson/raw'),
+  'content' => "ESC E 0x01\nHello from CI\nESC E 0x00\nLF"
+)
+----
+
+`content` uses labelprint's mnemonic ESC/POS notation: `ESC`/`GS`/`FS`/`LF`/`CR`/`HT`/`NUL` as command names, `0xNN` as a raw byte, anything else as literal text (CP852-encoded) -- see the `/epson` page for the full reference and worked examples (alignment, bold, barcodes). `POST /shipping/zpl` works the same way but with a `zpl` form field taking plain ZPL instead.
