Jeroen UbbinkandClaude Opus 4.8 1045f1061b fix(settings): derive npub from the vault nsec, not a stale env value
initialize() only filled npub when it was empty, so an existing node
with a stale NSEC still lingering in its env/blob kept that value's
derived npub even after the vault took ownership of a different nsec.
The node then held the vault's private key but announced the old env
key's public key — a split identity that anything reading settings.npub
would broadcast.

npub is a pure derivation of nsec and is never configured on its own, so
derive it from the live (vault) nsec and override rather than only fill.

"""Tests for ``bootstrap_secrets`` — moving node secrets into the Secret store.
Specifies the per-secret bootstrap that runs at startup (issue #553). For both
the admin password and the nsec it follows the same three branches: use the
column if already set, otherwise migrate any legacy plaintext (env first, then
the old settings blob), otherwise — admin password only — generate and log one.
A column written under a different ROUTSTR_SECRET_KEY fails fast rather than
silently corrupting state.
