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).
