feat(P03): secrets subsystem (REQ-080) — AES-256-GCM + HKDF-SHA256 per-ns

internal/secrets/secrets.go: master key (0600), HKDF-SHA256 per-ns
derivation, AES-256-GCM per-line with AAD=line-number (anti-swap),
EncryptEnvFile/DecryptEnvFile, LoadCredential= map generation.
internal/cli/secrets.go: orca secrets set/get/list/rotate/delete.
Tests: round-trip, nonce uniqueness, AAD anti-swap, 0600 enforcement.

+//
+//	orca secrets set <ns> <KEY=value>   — encrypt and add/update a secret
+//	orca secrets get <ns> <KEY>          — decrypt and print a single value
+//	orca secrets list <ns>               — list secret KEYS (not values)
+//	orca secrets rotate <ns> <KEY>        — re-encrypt with a fresh nonce
+//	orca secrets delete <ns> <KEY>        — remove a secret
+//
+// All commands load the master key from paths.MasterKeyPath() and derive
+// a per-namespace sub-key via HKDF-SHA256. The .env.secrets file lives at
+// paths.NSSecrets(ns). Writes are atomic (temp + rename). The master key
+// file MUST be mode 0600; LoadMasterKey refuses looser permissions.
+//
+// `get` writes ONLY the secret value to stdout (no logging of the value,
+// no trailing newline beyond the value itself). This makes it safe to
+// pipe into a credential consumer.

+// The model is master-key + per-namespace sub-keys + per-line AES-256-GCM:
+//
+//   - The master key is 32 random bytes generated at `orca init`, persisted
+//     at ClusterDir()/master.key with mode 0600. LoadMasterKey refuses to
+//     load a key whose permissions are looser than 0600.
+//   - Per-namespace sub-keys are derived with HKDF-SHA256 using the
+//     namespace name as the `info` parameter. This isolates namespaces
+//     cryptographically without requiring operators to manage per-ns keys.
+//   - Each .env.secrets line is encrypted independently with AES-256-GCM.
+//     The nonce is 12 random bytes. The AAD is the 1-based line number
+//     encoded as a big-endian uint32 — this binds each ciphertext to its
+//     position, defeating line-swap / line-reorder attacks.
+//   - The on-disk format is one base64(nonce||ciphertext||tag) blob per
+//     line. There is no `KEY=` prefix; the entire line is the encrypted
+//     blob. Plaintext lines use the standard `KEY=value` form.
+//
+// The package never logs plaintext or key material. slog calls carry
+// only metadata (line counts, namespace name, error text).
