The host-scan override declares BUMBLEBEE_HOST_DIR as required, so every command that names that file aborts without it, down included. A reader who starts the stack with the documented snippet and then tries to stop it gets a Compose interpolation error with no obvious cause.

This adds three lines: the requirement, the exact stop command, and the note that commands naming only the base file are unaffected.

Verified against a fresh clone. With the variable unset, docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.host-scan.yml down fails with "required variable BUMBLEBEE_HOST_DIR is missing a value", while docker compose up -d and docker compose exec backend ls /host run without it because they name only the base file.

`docker-compose.host-scan.yml` declares `BUMBLEBEE_HOST_DIR` as required, so any command that names that file aborts without it, `down` included. A reader who starts the stack with the documented snippet and then tries to stop it gets a Compose interpolation error with no obvious cause.
