docs: correct the .env.local readability claim

The file-read tool denies every .env.* path via .claude/settings.json, .env.local included, so the section points at cat instead of implying the file is readable.

DATABASE_URL carries an export prefix, which the bare 'source .env.local' in .envrc needs to reach cargo and sqlx, and which a ^DATABASE_URL= grep would miss. Documented rather than removed.

**`.env.local` in the worktree root is the portable answer** — `BACKEND_PORT`,
`FRONTEND_PORT`, `REMOTE`, `DATABASE_URL`, `CARGO_FEATURES`, `WM_DB_NAME`. Both managers write
those fields, so it is correct whichever one you are in, and it is readable despite the name.

webmux additionally writes `$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/webmux/runtime.env`, which every pane
