Rotate gitea SECRET_KEY into its own claim, drop gitea-random
Completes the post-breach (CVE-2026-59774) secret split. SECRET_KEY moves from the shared gitea-random claim to a dedicated gitea-secret-key claim with a fresh value, and the now-unused gitea-random claim is removed (ArgoCD prunes it). The earlier concern that rotating SECRET_KEY breaks the 2 push mirrors was wrong: their gitlab.com credentials live in each repo's on-disk git config, not in SECRET_KEY-encrypted storage. Blast radius here is negligible: 0 TOTP 2FA, 0 Actions secrets, 0 runner tokens, pull mirrors are public. SECRET_KEY has no length constraint (Gitea hashes it to derive the AES key), so unlike JWT_SECRET size 32 is fine and is not regenerated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
