fix(host_agent): provision/deploy vars shadowed by play-var precedence
The assertion failed ("Pass steward_url/token/pubkey") because those were
injected as inventory HOST vars, but the playbooks declared them in the play
`vars:` block — and play vars OUTRANK inventory host vars, so the empty
defaults won and the injected values never reached the play.

- Pass globals (steward_url, steward_pubkey, steward_user, agent_interval) as
  extra-vars via the JSON -e @file (highest precedence, space-safe). Keep only
  the per-host steward_token as an inventory host var.
- provision.yml / install.yml: drop steward_token from `vars:` so the host var
  isn't shadowed; assertions use `| default('')` for the un-defaulted token.

This was the next layer under the inventory-format fix — first the inventory
wouldn't parse, now the injected vars actually apply.

# First-contact provisioning: bring a fresh host under Steward management, then
# install the host agent — all in one idempotent run.
#
# Run this ONCE per host with bootstrap credentials (an existing login + sudo,
# typically password auth via the "Provision host" button). It:
# 1. creates a dedicated `steward` login account,
# 2. installs Steward's managed public key into its authorized_keys,
# 3. grants it passwordless sudo,
# 4. installs/updates the host agent.
# After this, every future run (agent updates, maintenance) connects as
# `steward` with the managed key — no operator credentials needed.
#
# Extra-vars (injected by the Provision card):
# steward_url, steward_token — agent → Steward auth (per-host)
# steward_pubkey — managed public key to authorize
# steward_user (default steward), agent_interval (default 30)
