fix(audit-g5c): refuse silent Fernet key regeneration on partial restore
Audit 2026-06-02: `_load_or_create_key` silently minted a new Fernet
key whenever the key file was missing — no log, no warning. The
failure mode the audit flagged: a partial disaster restore where the
DB was restored but `/images/secrets/` was lost would produce a
working-looking system in which every authenticated download fails
AUTH_ERROR until the operator re-uploads every credential by hand.

Two opt-ins now needed for auto-creation:
  1. Explicit `bootstrap_ok=True` kwarg (tests, scripts), OR
  2. `CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1` env var (operator first-time setup)

Otherwise the constructor raises `MissingCredentialKey` so the app
fails fast at startup and the operator can restore the key file
from backup before encrypted_blob rows go undecryptable.

Also: docstring path was wrong (said "images/data root" but actual
location is `/images/secrets/credential_key.b64`) — corrected.

Tests updated to pass `bootstrap_ok=True` explicitly, and two new
tests cover the safety behavior (missing-key-raises, env-var-bootstraps).

"""Fernet-based encryption for credential blobs.
The key is a single 32-byte value (urlsafe-base64-encoded; what
Fernet.generate_key produces) stored at /images/secrets/credential_key.b64
(mode 0600, parent dir 0700). The 2026-06-02 audit caught a silent
key-regeneration path: on a partial disaster restore where the DB was
restored but the secrets dir was lost, the old `_load_or_create_key`
would mint a fresh key with no log, producing a working-looking system
where every authenticated download failed AUTH_ERROR until the operator
re-uploaded every credential by hand. Now the constructor refuses to
auto-generate unless either:
* the caller explicitly passes `bootstrap_ok=True` (tests, scripts), or
* the env var `CURATOR_BOOTSTRAP_NEW_KEY=1` is set (operator opt-in
during first-time setup).
Otherwise it raises `MissingCredentialKey` so the app fails fast at
startup and the operator can restore the key file from backup.
Operator backup procedure must include /images/secrets/ alongside the
rest of /images/ — losing the key file makes existing encrypted_blob
rows undecryptable (recovery = delete the rows and re-upload).
