hive-c0re (`hive-<name>`), swarm-controller and swarm-review-classifier
read their queue client secret from the store once and held it as
`ClientSecret::Value` for the life of the process. After authelia
re-minted a secret and swarm-secret-publish stored the new one, every
later token mint presented the old value and was refused until the
daemon restarted.
`ClientSecret::Stored` replaces `Value`: a `StoredSecret` holds the
secret in memory with a caller-supplied read callback, so the crate
takes no store dependency. When the token endpoint answers 400 or 401,
`mint_token` (and its blocking sibling, used by the controller's OTLP
exporters) re-reads it and, if the store holds a different secret,
mints once more with it. One re-read runs at a time and is spawned so
it outlives a caller that gives up. A re-read that fails or finds the
refused value delays the next one, 5 s doubling to 5 min, so a secret
that stays wrong costs one store read per delay. Logs name the client
id and never the secret.
swarm-nats-auth's `oidc_secret` was the template; its re-read machinery
now sits on `StoredSecret`, so the tree has one copy. The responder
gains the same re-read backoff.
The controller keeps its `IDENTITY` OnceLock: it now holds a
`QueueConfig` whose secret is re-read, and the lazily built vcs-metrics
exporter reads the identity from it.
agent_renewal.rs's module doc said a re-minted agent queue secret only
reaches the agent at its next start; hive-agent reads the store on every
connection attempt after its first, so the doc now says that.
Part of #5017 (slice Q).
swarm-controller re-issues an agent's store leaf at half its validity, but
the running container kept presenting the copy its hive delivered at
start, so a re-issued leaf reached the agent only on its next restart.
hive-agent-bao-identity now seeds a live copy of the pair in its own
runtime directory from the delivered credentials, and re-runs every 10
minutes: it logs in with the live leaf, reads its own
swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls (a read render_agent already grants), and
when the leaf changed, logs in with the new pair and swaps it in only if
the store accepts it.
Every unit in the container that logs in to the store presents the live
pair: hive-agent (queue-identity.nix), hive-matrix-daemon,
hive-subagent-daemon, hive-agent-forge-token, hive-agent-forge-accounts
and hive-agent-github-token. They keep loading the server CA as a
credential. The long-running daemons are ordered after the refresher so
the live pair exists when they start.
It renews only while the held leaf is still valid: the login that reads
the new leaf is made with the current one.

The renewal pass ran the moment swarm-controller started, before its
queue client had connected, so `WantedWriter::view` refused with
"client state Pending" and the pass logged
`agent credential renewal: pass failed; retrying next tick`. That fired
twice in 24h on muede-lpt2, both under a second after start, and would
trip a Grafana rule on that WARN on ordinary restarts.
The first pass now waits until the queue client is connected, polling
`swarm_queue_client::ensure_connected` every 5s the way
`AgentIconReader::create_when_connected` does. The wait is bounded by
one RECONCILE_INTERVAL (5 min): the old code's retry after a false start
also came one interval later, so a queue that never connects gets its
first pass no later than before. Hitting the bound logs one WARN and runs
the pass anyway. Only startup waits; a later disconnect still fails a
pass and logs the WARN.
Refs #4717
A stored queue secret with no `minted_at` counted as due, and no secret
minted before the renewal pass has one, so the first pass after deploy
would re-mint every agent's secret. Every reconnect before that agent's
next restart would then be refused.
Such a secret is now stamped instead: `minted_at = now` is written beside
the unchanged `value`, and its 45-day clock starts there. Only a secret
whose recorded mint time is at least 45 days old gets a new value.
The decision is `secret_step` (Keep / Backfill / Remint), and the pass
reports an unstamped secret as `Observed::Unstamped`. Backfill and
re-mint log different lines.
A five-minute pass over every agent some hive's wanted state declares as
anything but destroyed queues, per agent:
- `MintAgentIdentity` (the node agent creation uses) when the stored
certificate at swarm/agents/<agent>/bao-mtls is past half its validity,
read from its own notBefore/notAfter: day 45 of the role's 90;
- the new `RenewAgentQueueCredential` node when the queue secret at
swarm/agents/<agent>/queue is 45 days old or has no mint time. The node
re-decides, writes a fresh value with `minted_at`, reads it back, and logs
the agent and the old age.
When both are due the secret node runs after_any the certificate node,
because mint_and_verify compares the queue secret it read with the one it
reads back. A credential that is not stored is never created here.
`queue::AgentCredential` gains an optional `minted_at` (unix seconds);
agent creation now sets it. Stored objects without it decode unchanged and
count as due, so every existing queue secret is re-minted on the first pass.
Both replacements reach the agent at its next start. The old certificate
stays valid until it expires; the old queue secret does not, so a queue
reconnect before that restart is denied.
Adds x509-cert 0.2 (with der_derive and flagset) to read the validity.

and automatic re-pull, filled from the code as it stands.
