Setting the age_pubkey is half the enrollment; the new client also needs
to be a recipient on shared secrets (hello.yaml, gitea-pat.yaml) to
actually use them. Now --finalize-pubkey:
1. writes hosts.<name>.age_pubkey
2. appends the pubkey to each shared-secret rule in .sops.yaml
(preserving comments via line-by-line edit, not yaml round-trip)
3. runs sops updatekeys -y on each shared file
4. commits inventory + hosts/ + .sops.yaml + secrets/ as one commit
Also: cmd_client_add now re-execs via sudo when invoked as a regular
user (matches the pattern in cmd_secret + cmd_refresh_creds).

Adds secrets/gitea-pat.yaml (SOPS-encrypted, dtoro PAT with read+write
scopes) so any enrolled client can push to dtoro/Homelab-Docs — not just
where I have SSH. Recipient set = hello.yaml's (hubris, apps, republic);
expand alongside hello.yaml when enrolling new clients.
bin/homelab gains 'refresh-creds': decrypts gitea-pat.yaml, rewrites
/etc/homelab-context/git-credentials with the write token, repoints
git's --system credential helper. Re-execs via sudo for non-root callers
(same pattern as 'homelab secret').
After this lands, 'homelab client add/remove' and wiki edits can run
from any client. The initial bootstrap still needs an operator-supplied
read-only PAT (chicken-and-egg); 'refresh-creds' upgrades the client
to write afterwards.

/etc/age/key.txt is 0600 root and /etc/age is 0700 root, so the CLI's
Path.exists() check was returning False under regular users — making the
subcommand look broken when bootstrap had actually written the key fine.
Re-exec via sudo preserves the existing UX (one password prompt, then
plaintext) without loosening the key's perms.

Add the foundation for distributing homelab context to every client
(LXCs, VMs, workstations including republic-laptop, mac-mini, ludo-mini)
with a single source of truth, structured query layer (MCP), and per-client
age-key issuance for secrets:
- inventory.yaml — canonical topology (hosts, services, mesh addresses)
- hosts/*.yaml — per-host identity files generated from inventory by
mcp/build_host_files.py; do not edit by hand
- AGENTS.md — orientation doc symlinked to /root/AGENTS.md on every client
- bootstrap.sh — one-shot enroll (Linux + macOS), clones repo, fetches age
key from issuance, installs sync timer/launchd job, drops the homelab CLI
- bin/homelab — single-binary Python CLI: whoami, list, ssh, pct, logs,
restart, open, status, secret, sync, mcp, client add/remove, nuke
- mcp/server.py — FastMCP server: context tools + read-only management
tools (no mutations exposed); shell-outs use mcp-reader restricted ssh key
- mcp/deploy/ — claudio-monitor-style gitea webhook deploy scaffold for the
MCP service on LXC 105 (ports 9810 mcp, 9811 webhook)
- secrets-issuance/ — per-client age key auto-provisioning over the mesh;
source-IP gated against inventory, with denylist for revoked clients
(ports 9820 issue, 9821 webhook)
- secrets/, .sops.yaml — SOPS recipient scaffolding; the operator fills in
age public keys after Phase 3a generates them
- scripts/sync/ — systemd timer (Linux) + launchd plist (macOS) pulling
/opt/homelab-context every 5 min
Mesh: both Netbird (preferred, 100.122.0.0/16) and Tailscale accepted
during the in-flight migration; no client is gated on completing the move.
