atlas 727065c960 hive-agent: present this agent's own queue credential, then fall back
When the per-agent secret `queue-identity.nix` fetched is present, the
harness connects with `swarm-agent.<agent>.<secret>` as a static token
and publishes on `$SWARM.term.<agent>` and `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`.
When it is absent, or that first connect fails for any reason, a refusal
from a responder that does not verify agent tokens included, it connects
with the hive's shared OIDC client and publishes on the hive-scoped
subjects as before. Which one it took is logged once per connect.

`swarm_queue_client::connect_with_token` is the static-token connect: no
retry on the initial attempt, so the caller sees the refusal and can
fall back. Reconnects share the existing backoff, now a named function.

Closes #4630

//! 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.
//!
//! Beside all four sits a fifth coordinate, resolved by
//! [`decide_agent_secret`] and not part of their group. The four are the
//! *hive's* — one OIDC client shared by every container on it — so at the
//! queue's auth callout they say which hive is connecting and never which
//! agent. The fifth is this agent's own, minted per agent at swarm level and
//! fetched by the container itself (`nix/agent-modules/queue-identity.nix`).
//!
//! When it is present, [`client`] connects with it first, and the agent
//! publishes on its own hive-free subjects. When it is absent, or the queue
//! refuses it, the connect falls back to the hive's shared client and the
//! hive-scoped subjects. [`Connection::presented`] says which, so a publisher
//! builds the subject that credential is granted.
