docs: Drop instance-specific storage-security notes

The public repo must not document this instance's object-storage
access-control posture; findings like that belong in private ops
notes. The engineering guidance (never rely on URL obscurity, always
request file tokens) stays.

+- Thumbnails of private/internal videos may 404 — on some instances thumbnail
+  paths are publicly readable while on others they need auth; add a fallback
+  poster only if needed.
+- Security note (verified live against tube.jeena.net): some instances serve
+  non-public media / thumbnails from object storage with only URL-based access
+  control. The app must not rely on that laxness; always send auth headers
