feat(conf): mask SMTP/OAuth secrets + leave-blank-to-keep on /conf (v1.17.1)

GET /api/conf no longer returns smtp.pass / oauth.jwtSecret in cleartext
(masked to ********). POST treats a blank or ******** secret submission as
"keep the stored value," so editing the From address or token lifetimes no
longer requires re-entering or leaks the SMTP password / JWT secret. The /conf
form fields carry a leave-unchanged hint. Storage stays in OpenBao at
secret/sso-manager/conf (unchanged); no theta-suite policy change needed.

## Configuration Endpoints
Base path: `/api/conf`
All endpoints require authentication and `app_sso_admin` membership. Runtime configuration (SMTP, discovery, OAuth) is stored in OpenBao at `secret/sso-manager/conf` and overlaid onto the live app config; changes take effect immediately and persist across restarts. Secret fields (`smtp.pass`, `oauth.jwtSecret`) are **always returned masked** (`********`); submit a blank or `********` value to keep the current stored secret, or a new non-blank value to replace it.
### Get Configuration
**`GET /api/conf`** — returns the editable config groups (`smtp`, `discovery`, `oauth`) with secret fields masked to `********`.
**Response:**
```json
{
"smtp": { "host": "smtp.example.com", "port": 587, "secure": false, "user": "noreply@example.com", "pass": "********", "from": "SSO Manager <noreply@example.com>" },
"discovery": { },
"oauth": { "issuer": "https://sso.example.com", "jwtSecret": "********", "token_lifetime": { "access_token": 3600, "refresh_token": 2592000 } }
}
```
### Save Configuration
**`POST /api/conf`** — deep-merges the submitted groups into `secret/sso-manager/conf` (per-key shallow merge of nested objects) and re-applies them to the live config. A blank or `********` value for `smtp.pass` or `oauth.jwtSecret` preserves the stored secret.
**Request:**
```json
{
"smtp": { "host": "smtp.example.com", "port": 587, "secure": false, "user": "noreply@example.com", "pass": "********", "from": "SSO Manager <noreply@example.com>" },
"oauth": { "issuer": "https://sso.example.com", "token_lifetime": { "access_token": 3600, "refresh_token": 2592000 } }
}
```
**Response:** `{ "success": true }`

## [1.17.1] - 2026-08-01
Hardens the **runtime SMTP/OAuth secret handling** on the `/conf` admin page to
match the plugin-secrets discipline: the SMTP password and OAuth JWT secret are
no longer returned in cleartext by `GET /api/conf` or round-tripped through the
form. They remain saved in OpenBao at `secret/sso-manager/conf` at runtime
(unchanged) — only how they're surfaced to the admin changes.
### Changed
- **`GET /api/conf`** now masks `smtp.pass` and `oauth.jwtSecret` to `********`
(was: returned in cleartext). Non-secret fields (host, port, user, from,
secure, issuer, token lifetimes) are returned as before.
- **`POST /api/conf`** now treats a blank or `********` secret-field submission
as "keep the current stored value" — so an admin editing the From address or
token lifetimes no longer has to re-enter (or leak) the SMTP password / JWT
secret. Only a genuinely new, non-blank value overwrites. The preserved values
are re-applied to live `conf` immediately, as before.
- **`/conf` page** (`views/conf.ejs`): the Password and JWT Secret fields carry
a "leave unchanged to keep the current value stored in OpenBao" hint; the page
copy notes secret fields are masked. No JSON-textarea editing is involved —
SMTP is and remains configured through structured form fields.
### Notes
- SMTP (and OAuth) config was **already** saved to OpenBao at runtime before
this release (via `POST /api/conf``baoConf.set('sso-manager/conf')`, and
overlaid back at boot by `bao-conf.init`). This release closes the
cleartext-exposure gap; it does not move the storage path.
- No theta-suite policy change required — `secret/sso-manager/conf` was already
granted to the `sso-broker` policy.
