6b5729b98a refactor(ssh): state the admitted keys directly instead of deriving them
The access policy was a separate fleet declaration mapping each machine to a
role and a client key, which the module looked up by hostname to derive what to
authorize. Authorizing a key needs the key text and nothing else, so the
per-machine names, the hostname lookup and the role existed only to reconstruct
a grouping that two lists already are.

The module now exposes those two lists and the set a machine admits, and a host
declares what it draws from in its own file. The fleet declaration is gone, and
with it a single-file directory at the repository root.

`authorizedKeys` defaults to the workstation keys. An option of a list type is
not mandatory the way a scalar one is: undeclared, it yields the empty list
rather than failing, and a machine admitting no key is unreachable. The default
makes the safe case the silent one.

Verified to produce the same system as the design it replaces, and against the
running machine in both directions.

f18b40091c feat(ssh): adopt the client key as a secret and derive access from roles (task 0019)
The operator's SSH client key existed only as a file created by hand on one
laptop, so a reimage would destroy it and lock the operator out of the remote.
It now lives in neogaia's own secrets file, encrypted to the admin identity and
neogaia alone, and the client is pointed at the decrypted path rather than a
copy in the user's home.

Access becomes a policy over roles instead of a per-host list of keys. A new
fleet declaration names each machine's role and client public key, and every
machine derives what it authorizes from that: a workstation admits workstations
alone, a server admits both, so a compromised server reaches no machine of the
operator's own. Registering a machine is an entry in that one file.

Only neogaia exists, so the server half of the policy is built rather than
exercised. Two assertions reject a machine missing from the fleet and any entry
whose role no policy defines.

11d7cb053c docs(tasks): add task 0019, user SSH keys and an access policy
Per-machine client identities, so a compromised machine surrenders only
its own key, plus a role-based rule for which machines may reach which.
Only neogaia exists, so the server half is recorded rather than exercised.
