Fixes novox/hq issue 610; the first step of research 050's refactor (secrets out of config).
A mergeable file's protected keys were checked at the top level only, so a layer could still set searxng's server.secret_key under the server key its file takes. settle now refuses any layer value that would replace a ${secret:} placeholder in the file's own content, at any depth — a nested key, a whole map holding one, a list element — whatever the module's protected list says. Keys beside a secret still merge as before.
Live check: searxng's only layer (ace) sets server.base_url and server.method, not secret_key, so it still composes; the merge gate composes every machine's real layers.
Tests: TestNoLayerReplacesAVaultSecretAtAnyDepth (a sibling key merges; the nested secret, the map holding it, a top-level secret and an emptied secret are refused). go vet and go test ./... pass locally (Go 1.27.1 on novox).
Acceptance: settings setting {"server": {"secret_key": "x"}} for searxng on ace is refused naming the vault, and ace's searxng declaration is unchanged.

Fixes novox/hq issue 610; the first step of research 050's refactor (secrets out of config).
A mergeable file's
protectedkeys were checked at the top level only, so a layer could still set searxng'sserver.secret_keyunder theserverkey its file takes.settlenow refuses any layer value that would replace a${secret:}placeholder in the file's own content, at any depth — a nested key, a whole map holding one, a list element — whatever the module'sprotectedlist says. Keys beside a secret still merge as before.Live check: searxng's only layer (ace) sets
server.base_urlandserver.method, notsecret_key, so it still composes; the merge gate composes every machine's real layers.Tests:
TestNoLayerReplacesAVaultSecretAtAnyDepth(a sibling key merges; the nested secret, the map holding it, a top-level secret and an emptied secret are refused).go vetandgo test ./...pass locally (Go 1.27.1 on novox).Acceptance:
settingssetting{"server": {"secret_key": "x"}}for searxng on ace is refused naming the vault, and ace's searxng declaration is unchanged.A mergeable file's protected keys were checked at the top level only, so a layer could still set searxng's server.secret_key under the server key its file takes. The merge now refuses any layer value that would replace a ${secret:} placeholder in the file's own content, at any depth, whatever the module's protected list says.Delivery
