57_WolveandClaude Opus 5 f8c839a163 feat(openbao): pin 2.6.2, and correct the mlock and recovery-path claims
2.5.5 was two releases behind. Verified against the openbao/openbao source at
tag v2.6.2 that the bump is safe for an existing vault: raft's on-disk format
is unchanged (identical bbolt / hashicorp-raft / raft-boltdb pins,
byte-identical physical/raft/types.proto), snapshots restore in both
directions, and every stanza this config.hcl uses still parses -- the config
parser only moved import paths and the listener diff is additive.

Three corrections that came out of that check.

deploy.sh's printed crash-loop recovery command was already broken by 2.6.0.
That release adds `USER openbao` to the alpine image, so the container no
longer starts as root; the `docker run ... --entrypoint sh ... chown` it tells
the operator to run now executes as uid 100 and fails. Added `--user 0:0`, and
dropped the stale 2.5.5 literal from the same string. The detection logic
itself is unaffected -- `id -u openbao` still reads /etc/passwd and still
returns 100, verified by extracting the passwd layer from both published
images -- so a02524a holds and the volume does not need re-chowning.

The mlock story was wrong, and was already wrong on 2.5.5. OpenBao removed
mlock support: its own config parser carries "OpenBao has dropped support for
mlock. Please remove the line disable_mlock = false from your config and
disable or encrypt swap instead." So `cap_add: [IPC_LOCK]` and
`ulimits: memlock: -1` are inert, and config.hcl's "mlock keeps key material
off swap -- REQUIRED" was describing something that does not happen. The
BEHAVIOUR was right all along, because deploy.sh disables swap, which is the
actual mitigation; only the explanation was wrong. Corrected in config.hcl,
docker-compose.yml and the README. The two compose settings stay: they are
harmless, and removing them would recreate every deployed container for no
gain.

The built-in `seal "pkcs11"` stanza is deprecated in 2.6.0 for removal in
v2.7.0, and the HSM distribution is discontinued by then; PKCS#11 auto-unseal
continues only via the external `plugin "kms" "pkcs11" {}`. Noted where the
commented-out stanza lives, since a stack relying on it has to move before
taking 2.7.x.

Also worth recording and NOT acting on: do not switch to the openbao-distroless
image variant. It ships no shell, which breaks every `docker compose run
--entrypoint sh` probe deploy.sh uses.

Upgrading a LIVE vault is not automatic -- snapshot first, and the restart
comes back sealed. That is the next commit.

# Address (IP or DNS name) the KANRISHA tape host uses to reach this vault on
