docs(gitea): document client token handling; move the token out of remote URLs

New tools/gitea/client-access.md: the credential file (~/.config/secrets/gitea,
0600) behind a global 'store --file' helper, the git 2.56 credential-store trap
(the key=value block shape parses to an empty get; the file must be one
http://user:token@host:port URL per line), the GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0
verification loop, the lfs.locksverify key that silences the URL echo, and the
rotation procedure. Cross-linked from the gitea index and management pages.

Both workstation remotes are now bare URLs; the token lives in one file.

# Bundle Change Log
## 2026-10-09 — Gitea token moved out of every remote URL
Both workstation clones (`~/.omp` → `dank/command-center`, `~/Projects/serverAppConfig` → `dank/serverAppConfigs`) carried the Gitea HTTP token inside `remote.origin.url`, so it sat in `.git/config`, was printed by `git remote -v`, and was echoed verbatim by the git-lfs lock warning on every push.
* **Cutover**: remotes are now bare (`http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/<repo>.git`); the credential lives in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (0600) behind a **global** helper — `git config --global credential.helper 'store --file ~/.config/secrets/gitea'` — so every repo on the host authenticates from one file. `lfs.…info/lfs.locksverify true` set on `~/.omp` to silence the warning that leaked the URL.
* **The trap (git 2.56.0, measured)**: `git credential-store` will not parse the `protocol=`/`host=`/`password=` block shape that `git credential fill` accepts on stdin and that the man page shows for `~/.git-credentials`. It returns an empty `get`, and git falls through to askpass: `could not read Username for …`. The store file must be one URL per line, port included: `http://dank:<token>@192.168.0.143:3000`.
* **Verified** with prompts disabled (`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`): `git credential-store get` returns the credential, `ls-remote` reads, `push --dry-run` says `Everything up-to-date` on both repos, `git remote get-url origin` contains no `@`, and a grep for the token across `~/.gitconfig`, both `.git/config` files, and the shell rc files returns nothing.
* **Doc**: new [[client-access|client-access]] (`tools/gitea/client-access.md`) — credential file layout, the store-format trap, the verification loop, LFS lock warning, rotation procedure. Cross-linked from the gitea index and management pages.
