nself start: postgres step exits 1 while a healthy postgres container is already running #378

Description

@acamarata

Observed on staging (167.235.233.65) during P6-E11-W2-S2-T12 (2026-09-03): nself start fails at its postgres step (docker compose up -d postgres exit 1) even though the postgres container is up and healthy; running docker compose up -d directly against the generated compose file succeeds.

Possibly related to #296 (two stacks sharing the box), but the direct compose invocation working suggests nself start adds a flag, project name, or env that the direct call does not. Needs a repro with the exact compose command nself start runs (nself start --verbose / debug logging) against a box with an already-running postgres.
