Remove legacy run script and outdated documentation

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR removes the legacy run script that was previously used for Docker-based local development, along with outdated documentation sections from README.md. The project has since migrated to using the dotrun tool for local development, making the old run script obsolete. Several documentation sections are now handled differently and the old documentation is no longer relevant.

Changes

Removed

• run script - Removed the 530-line bash script that wrapped Docker commands for local development
• BRANDSTORES.md - Removed outdated brand stores documentation file
• Brand stores section from README.md - Removed the entire "Brand stores" section as dedicated stores are now handled differently
• Deploy section from README.md - Removed the outdated "Deploy" section and reference to deployment config folder

Updated Documentation

• README.md - Removed the Brand stores section, Deploy section, and reference to the outdated BRANDSTORES.md file
• .github/copilot-instructions.md - Updated multiple references:
  • Removed ./run serve from the "Running the App" section
  • Removed brand stores reference from the Common Tasks section
  • Removed run (Docker wrapper) and BRANDSTORES.md from the Key Files list
  • Removed BRANDSTORES.md from the "Verify Best Practices" section

Rationale

The run script was generated by generator-canonical-webteam@3.4.3 and provided Docker-based development workflow commands. However, the project now uses dotrun as the standard tool for local development, which is:

• More modern and actively maintained
• Documented as the recommended approach in README.md
• Already used throughout the CI/CD pipelines

The brand stores documentation (BRANDSTORES.md file and related sections in README.md) was outdated and referenced the old run script. Since dedicated stores are now handled differently, all brand stores documentation has been removed. The Deploy section in README.md was also outdated and has been removed to keep documentation current and relevant.

Verification

Performed a comprehensive search across the codebase to ensure all references to ./run, BRANDSTORES.md, and brand stores have been removed. The project now consistently references dotrun for all local development workflows.

Original prompt

In the codebase we still have a legacy run script that we used to run the project in dev environment. This has later been replaced with using dotrun tool.

Remove the old run script, and find and update any references in the code or documentation to it, to use the dotrun command instead.

@copilot It seems that the BRANDSTORES.md file that was referencing the run script is all outdated as well. Remove it, and any references to it.

Done. Removed BRANDSTORES.md and all references to it in README.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md (commit 8b01907).

@Lukewh This seems to have worked (with a bit of additional nudging in comments).
