wmantly cec0d92c25 feat: real plugin system with loadable instances + OpenBao secrets (v1.17.0)
Generalize the half-built discovery plugins into a real plugin system: plugin
TYPES (the plugins/<category>/<type>.js modules with manifests) and loadable,
configurable, multi-copy plugin INSTANCES (PluginInstance ORM model) managed
from a dedicated /plugins page and /api/plugins API, with per-instance secrets
in OpenBao at secret/plugins/<id>/conf.

- plugin_registry.js: getTypes/getModule/splitConfig/mask + required-field helpers
- PluginInstance model (Sequelize): id/pluginType/category/name/slug(unique)/
  enabled/cron/config(json, non-secret)/lastRun*; registered in models/index.js
- plugin_secrets.js: read/write/remove/mergeForRun over @simpleworkjs/bao-conf
- scheduler.js: schedules from the DB registry; per-instance stable BullMQ
  JobScheduler ids (plugin:<id>) for load/unload; legacy migration from
  conf.discovery.plugins on first boot (idempotent, empty-table-guarded)
- api_plugins.js (replaces routes/plugins.js): types/list/get/create/update/
  secrets/test/load/unload/run/delete/runs; admin-gated; secrets always masked
- /plugins page (plugins.ejs) + nav; Agents & Scheduler tab removed from
  /directory; /docs/agents aliased to /docs/plugins
- proxmox/unifi/nmap gained manifests (configSchema/validate/run alias)
- tests/plugins.test.js: registry unit + plugin_secrets (mocked bao-conf) +
  PluginInstance model round-trip/unique-slug
- docs (plugins.md, vault.md, _config.yml, API.md) + 1.16.1 -> 1.17.0

Requires theta-suite >= v1.30.1 for the sso-broker secret/plugins/* grant;
fails-soft with a clear error if absent.

# Secrets Vault
SSO Manager integrates natively with **OpenBao** (a Vault fork) to securely manage and store sensitive data, configuration, and API keys.
The Vault proxy endpoint is exposed directly through SSO Manager at `/api/vault/v1/`, which safely authenticates and authorizes requests before forwarding them to the internal OpenBao container.
## Architecture
The secrets engine uses a persistent file backend (`/var/lib/docker/volumes/theta-env_openbao-data/_data`) to ensure high availability and durability.
When the environment is initialized via `setup.sh`, OpenBao is automatically unsealed and seeded with a root token that the application uses for authentication. The root token is kept securely inside the container environment.
## Accessing the Vault
The SSO Manager Vault can be accessed in two ways:
1. **Via the SSO Manager UI**: Go to the **Admin Configuration** page (`/conf`) to edit the application's configuration secrets directly.
2. **Via the REST API**: Send requests to `/api/vault/v1/...` with your SSO Manager session or API Token.
### API Example
To read secrets from the default key-value store, issue a `GET` request to:
`/api/vault/v1/secret/data/sso-manager/conf`
Only administrators with `app_sso_admin` or `admin` permissions can query the vault endpoints.
## Namespaces and Paths
Currently, secrets are maintained at `/v1/secret/data/sso-manager/conf` using the `kv-v2` backend. When configurations are edited via the admin UI, SSO Manager performs a deep-merge so that partial updates don't overwrite unrelated keys (such as SMTP vs OAuth configurations).
## Plugin Integration
Plugin instances store their per-instance secrets in OpenBao at
`secret/plugins/<instance-id>/conf` (configured, loaded/unloaded, and run from
the **Plugins** page — see [Plugins](plugins.html)). The plugin process runs
in-process, so the SSO Manager reads/writes those secrets server-side through
the `sso-broker` token; the admin UI only ever sees masked values, and external
apps can retrieve API tokens via the `/api/vault` proxy to keep permissions
consistently enforced instead of hardcoding them.
