JOIN KEYS

v1.29.0 required an admin to pre-register every machine before its agent
would be spoken to. The security model was right; the workflow was not --
installing the agent should be enough to add a host.

POST /api/agent/join-keys mints one credential an operator hands out. A
host presenting it is enrolled automatically and immediately issued its
OWN per-agent token plus the public key it must pin, delivered in the
config frame. The join key is a bootstrap credential, never the host's
identity, so one key stays convenient without becoming a fleet-wide
skeleton key: every host remains individually revocable.

DIRECTORY

Collapsing the tree did nothing. applyTreeCollapse found the caret with
`.tree-caret i` and returned early when absent -- Font Awesome's SVG mode
rewrites <i> to <svg>, so that selector matched nothing and the early
return skipped setting hideBelowDepth. State now lives on the caret
button and is rotated by CSS.

The Discovery Plugins delete button called deleteDiscoveryPlugin(), which
was never defined. The pane also had no .actionMessage, and confirmations
render into one -- without it the promise never settles, so an awaited
confirmation hangs forever and the action silently never happens.

Plugin instances can now be edited.

DISCOVERY

A fresh install presented its own five containers as unmanaged
discoveries. The Docker plugin now recognises the stack's compose project
and attaches each container to the service it implements. Container slugs
came from the container id, which changes on recreate, so every deploy
minted a new resource and orphaned the old one.

DOCS

/docs/discovery 404'd (no slug entry) and `agents` pointed at plugins.md,
leaving docs/agents.md unreachable. Adds docs/discovery.md.

## Enrollment (required)

An agent is only real if the SSO issued its token. **Tokens the server did not
issue are rejected** at the WebSocket handshake.
An agent is only real if the SSO issued its credential. **Tokens the server did
not issue are rejected** at the WebSocket handshake.
Enroll from **Directory → Install Agent**:
There are two ways to get a host enrolled, and the first is the normal one.
1. Give the agent a name and, ideally, **bind it to a host resource**. The
binding is what links telemetry, status and commands to a Directory entry.
### Join key — install the agent and the host appears
Hand the machine a **join key** and nothing else. On first connect the SSO
enrolls the host, issues it its own per-agent token plus the public key it must
pin, and the agent **writes both into its own `agent.yml`** and blanks the join
key. From then on it authenticates as itself.
```bash
curl -fsSL https://<SSO_HOST>/resources/theta-agent/install.sh | sh -s -- \
--url "https://<SSO_HOST>" --join-key "tjk_..."
```
That is the whole procedure — no pre-registering the machine, no copying a
public key by hand. `setup.sh` mints a key and configures the stack's own host
this way automatically.
The join key is a *bootstrap* credential, not the host's identity. That
distinction is what keeps one key convenient without making it a fleet-wide
skeleton key: every host still ends up individually revocable, and a compromised
host does not yield a credential that works anywhere else.
| Endpoint | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- |
| `GET /api/agent/join-keys` | List keys (prefix + usage only; never the key) |
| `POST /api/agent/join-keys` | Mint one — returned **once** |
| `POST /api/agent/join-keys/:id/revoke` | Stop it enrolling new hosts |
| `DELETE /api/agent/join-keys/:id` | Remove it |
Revoking a join key does **not** disconnect hosts that already joined; they hold
their own tokens by then. Revoke the agent itself to cut a specific host off.
### Pre-registering a host
When you want the agent bound to a specific Directory host up front, enroll it
from **Directory → Install Agent**:
1. Give the agent a name and **bind it to a host resource**. The binding is what
links telemetry, status and commands to a Directory entry.
2. Press **Enroll & issue token**. The SSO mints a 256-bit token, stores only its
SHA-256, and shows the raw value **once**.
3. Copy the generated install command — it already carries the token and the
server's public key.
A host that self-enrolls with a join key arrives unbound; bind it afterwards with
`PUT /api/agent/nodes/:id` or from the Directory.
Or via the API:

re-enrolled. The quickest fix is to put a **join key** in its `agent.yml` as
`join_key` and blank `auth_token` — it will re-enroll itself on the next
reconnect.
