docs: register the M1 Max / M4 mini / M1 mini nodes in CLUSTER + HARDWARE

Browse Source 
These three were onboarded on 2026-07-17 and are live in nodes.json, but the docs
still described a three-machine fleet (M3 Ultra / M1 Ultra / M4 Pro). Anyone reading
CLUSTER.md to decide where a job should land was working from a stale map.

Records the M1 Max as a second full gen node (flux_local, hunyuan3d_mlx; NOT trellis
- M1 bf16), and the M4 mini / M1 mini as light bg_remove + cpu helpers. Also notes
the M1 Max login split: admin is `m1max`, but the checkout and farm run as `studio`,
which needs /opt/homebrew/bin on its login PATH.
