Docs: clarify ntfy privacy — default server is public ntfy.sh
The docs claimed ntfy keeps push metadata on your own infrastructure, but the default NTFY_SERVER_URL is the public https://ntfy.sh cloud service. Make explicit that push metadata (topic, notification title) passes through ntfy.sh unless you self-host ntfy.

Iris talks directly to your own hermes gateway over a private, token-authenticated

that push metadata never leaves your infrastructure. If you explicitly enable
