From review: the store and broker passwords genesis makes were carried into
the controller through a world-readable file in /tmp, a bundle left at 0644 by
an earlier installer kept that mode while now holding them, a mesh raised by
the old installer would have been handed new passwords its servers do not have,
and the broker-admin action's marker did not depend on the value. Secrets now
stage in a 0700 directory owned by the controller's account; the bundle is
chmod'd; an existing store or broker volume with no credential file is refused
by name; the marker holds the password's fingerprint. Also: one install path
for the store, broker and vault, no error-string matching for the operator
key, and no unreachable fallback for the superuser.
The template raises the store with the password 'bootstrap' and the broker
with its image's default administrator, and the installer carried both into
the mesh as accepted secrets — permanent, and not secret (novox/hq issue 071).
Now the installer makes both credentials, once, at the paths the postgres and
lavinmq modules declare as their own secrets, rewrites the produced bundle to
use them (the store reads its password from a file; the broker's default
account is given the new password by an action before anything dials it), and
writes the bundle at 0600 since it now carries them.
Before the first secret is accepted it makes the operator's sealing key beside
the bundle and gives the mesh the public half, so everything minted from there
is sealed to it too (ADR 0085, amended). Phase three adopts the broker as the
lavinmq module beside the store and installs mesh-vault as a foundation module;
the run ends by writing the operator-sealed export beside the key.
