Review follow-up on #469: the data plane held the same control-plane secret
that authorizes every route, so a compromised egress/git-gate could queue a
supervise proposal AND approve it (or rewrite policy, read injected tokens) —
the (source_ip, identity_token) checks attribute the *bottle*, not the caller.

Replace the single shared bearer secret with role-scoped, HMAC-signed tokens
(compact HS256 JWTs, stdlib-only — no new dependency):

  * new `control_auth` mints/verifies `{role}` tokens; roles are `gateway`
    (data plane) and `cli` (host operator/launcher).
  * the orchestrator holds only the signing *key* and verifies; `dispatch`
    gates each route by role — `gateway` reaches /resolve + /supervise/
    {propose,poll}, everything else is `cli`-only (401 unauthenticated,
    403 wrong role).
  * the gateway is handed a pre-minted `gateway` token it cannot rewrite into
    `cli`; the host CLI mints its own `cli` token from the host key.
  * `gateway_init` scopes the signing key to the orchestrator process and the
    gateway token to the data-plane daemons, so even in the combined infra
    container a compromised data-plane daemon never sees the key.

Launchers (docker gateway + infra, macOS infra) inject the minted token(s);
Firecracker stays open behind its nft boundary. Open mode (no key) still grants
full `cli` access — the fail-visible fallback for tests.
