Padreug 7af3bce544 feat(secrets): scaffold sops-nix for declarative secrets
Wires sops-nix as a flake input and bakes the NixOS module into
configuration.nix via modules/secrets.nix. Per-host defaults live in
modules/secrets.nix:

- defaultSopsFile = ../secrets/${settings.hostName}.yaml
- defaultSopsFormat = yaml
- age.keyFile = /home/${settings.user}/.config/sops/age/keys.txt

The whole sops block is gated on `builtins.pathExists` so flake eval
succeeds before the encrypted file is created — important during the
scaffold-bootstrap phase where the consumer hasn't yet generated an
age key.

Adds .sops.yaml with a placeholder admin recipient (overwrite with
your real age public key before encrypting anything) and a
creation_rules block matching `secrets/*.yaml`.

.gitignore loosened so `secrets/*.yaml` and `secrets/README.md` can
be checked in while plaintext key material (`*.key`, `*.pem`) and
anything else under `secrets/` stays ignored. The pre-commit secret
scanner most consumers use is the second line of defense.

secrets/README.md documents the workflow at the directory level.
The substantive beginner walkthrough lands in a follow-up commit at
docs/secrets-management.md.

`nix flake check --no-build` stays green.

# sops-nix per-host wiring.
# pragma: allowlist secret start
#
# Imports the sops-nix NixOS module and points it at this host's
# encrypted file + the consumer's age private key.
#
# - Recipients (which age public keys can decrypt) are declared in
# `.sops.yaml` at the repo root.
# - The encrypted file for this host lives at
# `secrets/${settings.hostName}.yaml`. Create it with:
# sops secrets/${settings.hostName}.yaml
# sops auto-encrypts on save using the recipients from .sops.yaml.
# - The matching private key lives at
# `/home/${settings.user}/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`. Generate it
# one-time with `age-keygen -o ~/.config/sops/age/keys.txt`.
#
# The whole sops block is gated on `builtins.pathExists` so flake
# eval succeeds before the encrypted file exists — useful for the
# scaffold-bootstrap phase. See `docs/secrets-management.md` for a
# walkthrough.
