+# tools/vault-seed-ops-repo.sh — Idempotent seed for kv/disinto/shared/ops-repo
+#
+# Part of the Nomad+Vault migration (S5.1, issue #1035). Populates the KV v2
+# path that nomad/jobs/edge.hcl dispatcher task reads from, so the edge
+# proxy has FORGE_TOKEN for ops repo access.
+#
+# Seeds from kv/disinto/bots/vault (the vault bot credentials) — copies the
+# token field to kv/disinto/shared/ops-repo. This is the "service" path that
+# dispatcher uses, distinct from the "agent" path (bots/vault) used by
+# agent tasks under the service-agents policy.
+#
+# Idempotency contract:
+#   - Key present with non-empty value → leave untouched, log "token unchanged".
+#   - Key missing or empty → copy from bots/vault, log "token copied".
+#   - If bots/vault is also empty → generate a random value, log "token generated".
+#
+# Preconditions:
+#   - Vault reachable + unsealed at $VAULT_ADDR.
+#   - VAULT_TOKEN set (env) or /etc/vault.d/root.token readable.
+#   - The `kv/` mount is enabled as KV v2.
+#
+# Requires:
+#   - VAULT_ADDR  (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8200)
+#   - VAULT_TOKEN (env OR /etc/vault.d/root.token, resolved by lib/hvault.sh)
+#   - curl, jq, openssl
+#
+# Usage:
+#   tools/vault-seed-ops-repo.sh
+#   tools/vault-seed-ops-repo.sh --dry-run
+#
+# Exit codes:
+#   0  success (seed applied, or already applied)
+#   1  precondition / API / mount-mismatch failure
