it POSTed to the sidecar directly on loopback, and yesterday the sidecar
began requiring proof that the platform is the caller — so the CLI 403'd.
my regression: i noted it in that commit and left it failing.
it mints a key for the one send and revokes it in a finally, whatever
happens. that is legitimate here and nowhere else: the script runs as the
owner, on the owner's machine, with the database already open in front of
it. anything that cannot do that has no business sending either.
the key is named "notify:test (temporary)" so a leftover from a killed run
is obvious in the key list rather than looking like something a person
made.

putSecret/getSecret, `bun run secret:set`, and notify taking its credentials
from the store with env as the fallback. this was described two messages ago
as a later thing; it is about fifteen lines and it was blocking the honest
answer to "where does the .p8 go", so it is done.
getKey was the wrong door for anything supplied from outside — it MINTS a
random 32-byte value when the purpose is absent, which for a foreign
credential means silently authenticating to apple with a fake. getSecret
returns null instead, which is what lets the env fallback work.
putSecret retires the previous row rather than deleting it: a mistyped paste
over a working key should be recoverable, and retiredKeys already exists for
that shape. one transaction, because the partial unique index means the retire
has to land before the insert.
the CLI reads stdin and has deliberately no --value flag: a secret in argv is
in shell history, in ps output, and in any audit log that records command
lines. offering the flag would make the convenient path the leaky one. it
prints a length and the last four characters, never the value.
also `bun run notify:test`, which fires officer/core:test at a registered
device. the sidecar's port is ephemeral, so it now writes its address to
data/notify-server.url on boot and removes it on clean shutdown; the CLI
treats an unreachable address as "not running" rather than trusting the file,
because a crash leaves one behind.
the script says what actually happened, because the day-waster here is that a
send with nothing configured returns success and delivers nothing — it refuses
up front when channels is empty, and calls out sent:0/failed:0 as "no device
registered" rather than letting it read as success.
verified end to end with a p-256 key generated locally and then deleted from
the store: zero APNS vars in .env, sidecar reported channels: apns, and the
send reached the channel. store is back to jwt and offscale only.
