refactor(orchestrator): uniform control-plane auth provisioning per trust domain
Hoist control-plane auth provisioning out of the per-backend launchers into
one shared contract, parameterized per trust domain (#476). Every blocking
finding in PR #471 was the same integration-bug class: each launcher
re-derived, by hand, how to generate the signing key, scope it to the
orchestrator, mint the gateway JWT, and keep the host key canonical.

Introduces `trust_domain.py`:

  * `TrustDomain` — one credential boundary (host-canonical key file + role
    set + env vars). `mint`/`verify` are scoped to the domain's roles, so a
    future host-controller domain (#468) uses its own key/verifier/roles
    rather than a `host` role on the control plane's frozenset (which the
    orchestrator key could then forge).
  * `ControlPlaneProvisioning` — the single seam answering the four
    invariants: host-canonical key, split key-vs-token credential, CLI token
    valid across co-running backends, and fail-closed (no open mode) for any
    co-located topology.
  * `Topology` — the backend declares what it is; the default is co-located +
    fail-closed, so a backend need not redeclare it.

The `Orchestrator` ABC gets `control_plane_key()` (fail-closed) and routes
`mint_gateway_token()` through the contract; docker/macOS/firecracker
orchestrators, the server (verify), and the host CLI client (mint cli) all go
through the domain instead of reading the host key directly. `orchestrator_auth`
gains an optional `roles=` arg (default unchanged) so a domain scopes its own
role set; `paths.host_signing_key(filename)` generalizes host_orchestrator_token.

Adds unit coverage for the domain boundary + provisioning invariants and a PRD
capturing the durable rationale. No change to the auth primitive's HMAC, the
plane split, or the server's documented open-mode fallback.

Docs

How this project records what it builds and why — and a guide to picking the right document for what you're capturing.

When to write which document

Artifact For
Glossary (docs/glossary.md) Canonical term definitions — what words mean in this project.
PRD (docs/prds/) A feature: what to build, scope, success criteria.
Research note (docs/research/) A landscape/tradeoff investigation.
Decision record (docs/decisions/) A decision that isn't itself a feature — a policy, a convention, a "we will / won't do this," or a load-bearing choice made inside a larger PRD that deserves to be discoverable on its own.

A decision that's fully specified by a PRD doesn't need duplicating in a decision record. Write one when the decision would otherwise be buried in prose, lost in an issue thread, or have no in-repo home at all (small requests that don't merit a PRD; non-feature choices like merge strategy or a trust posture).
