v1.14.0: load secrets from OpenBao at boot via @simpleworkjs/bao-conf

bin/www now runs bao-conf.init({ path: 'jump-host' }) before
require('../models'), so the OIDC clientSecret captured at require time
inside createOidcClient sees the OpenBao-merged config. Authenticates to
OpenBao with a scoped VAULT_TOKEN (policy jump-host), never the root
token; fail-soft to CONF_SECRETS if OpenBao is unreachable.
config/jump-secrets.js becomes an operator-edit seed artifact (OpenBao
authoritative). README gains a Secrets section.

+### Changed
+- **Secrets now load from OpenBao at boot** via
+  [@simpleworkjs/bao-conf](https://simpleworkjs.github.io/bao-conf/), which
+  deep-merges `secret/jump-host/conf` over the file-loaded config. The jump
+  host authenticates to OpenBao with a scoped `VAULT_TOKEN` (policy
+  `jump-host` — read-only on its own path), never the root token. Because the
+  OIDC `clientSecret` is captured at require time inside `createOidcClient`
+  (during `require('../models')`), `bin/www` now runs `bao-conf.init()`
+  **before** `require('../models')`. Fail-soft: if OpenBao is unreachable,
+  boot continues from `CONF_SECRETS`. The `config/jump-secrets.js` file is now
+  an operator-edit seed artifact (gitignored); OpenBao is authoritative. See
+  theta-env's [Secrets docs](https://theta42.github.io/theta-env/secrets/).
+- Bumped package version to track the release tag.

+## Secrets
+
+At boot, [@simpleworkjs/bao-conf](https://simpleworkjs.github.io/bao-conf/)
+deep-merges `secret/jump-host/conf` from **OpenBao** over the file-loaded
+config. The jump host's OIDC `clientSecret` is captured at require time
+(inside `createOidcClient` during `require('../models')`), so `bin/www` runs
+`bao-conf.init()` **before** `require('../models')`. Fail-soft: if OpenBao is
+unreachable, boot continues from `CONF_SECRETS`. The jump host authenticates to
+OpenBao with the scoped `VAULT_TOKEN` (env, policy `jump-host` — read only
+`secret/jump-host/conf`), never the root token.
+
+The `config/jump-secrets.js` file is an operator-edit seed artifact
+(gitignored); the bootstrap writes the generated API token + OAuth client
+into OpenBao, which is authoritative. For the full architecture see
+theta-env's **[Secrets docs](https://theta42.github.io/theta-env/secrets/)**.
