atlas 353cdd9264 swarm: carry the agent queue credential from the host into the harness
hive-c0re stats the two files `swarm-bao-queue-agent` lands and forwards
them into every agent container as systemd credentials, and the harness
resolves a `QueueConfig` out of them at boot. Nothing connects yet.

A credential and not a bind mount, and the mode is what forces it: the
secret is root:0600 and the harness runs as the unprivileged agent user,
so a bind would deliver a file that user cannot open. nspawn's
`--load-credential` is read by the container manager as root and
re-exposed under the consuming unit's own `User=`. hive-c0re never reads
the bytes either way, which is just as well — it runs as `hive-core`.

Absent files stay legal and become visible rather than silent: the
publisher lives on the authelia host and mints on its first boot, so
"nothing at that path" is the ordinary early state of a swarm. c0re
forwards nothing and logs why; the harness logs that it has no queue.

The client id comes out of the delivered file rather than being rebuilt
from `hiveName` in nix, which is the agreement `swarm-secret-client`
states. `QueueConfig::from_env` wants it as a value, so the harness reads
the file itself — assigning the variable instead would need
`std::env::set_var` in a process that has already spawned threads.

//! This agent's swarm-queue credentials, resolved once at boot.
//!
//! Three of the four coordinates arrive as environment variables the meta
//! flake renders into the harness unit. The fourth — the OIDC client id —
//! arrives as a *file*, delivered beside the secret as one systemd
//! credential pair (`nix/agent-modules/queue.nix`). That is the whole reason
//! this module exists rather than a bare [`QueueConfig::from_env`] call: the
//! id rides with the secret so a reader never has to spell `hive-<name>-agent`
//! a second time, and `from_env` wants it as a value.
//!
//! Reading the file and assigning the variable would put the same rule back
//! in `from_env`'s hands, but `std::env::set_var` is unsound in a process that
//! has already spawned threads, and this one has. So the rule is restated
//! here over the inputs this consumer actually has, and [`decide`] is the
//! single place it lives.
