Both view routes did server-side auth via req.user, but this app's auth-token is
a header set by client JS (localStorage), not a cookie — so req.user is
undefined on a browser navigation. permission.byGroup(undefined,...) throws
status 401, and the middleware.auth gate on /vault threw Auth.errors.login()
(401) for the same reason.
Both routes now render the shell unconditionally (like /users, /directory) and
gate client-side. conf.ejs already called app.auth.forceLogin; vault.ejs now
derives isAdmin + personal namespace from /api/user/me after forceLogin
instead of server-rendering them. /api/conf and /api/vault still enforce
app_sso_admin + OpenBao scope server-side — only the view-route gating moved
client-side where the session lives. Also removed a dead duplicate /conf route.
