docs(openwebui,authentik): frank-secondary-only picker, API gating, artem account

OpenWebUI model picker narrowed to exactly frank-secondary (connections
frank-large/frank-primary disabled in openai.api_configs, model table rebuilt,
stale frank-small model_id retargeted to the served alias). Documented the
auth-gated API surface (anonymous probes all 401; keys per account).
Authentik roster gains artem (pk 16) in the human-user template.

## The LLM backends
OpenWebUI serves the three fleet LLM endpoints. The model picker is built from
the `model` table in `webui.db` (one row per model), NOT from live connection
discovery — so the picker shows exactly the models seeded there.
The picker is built from the `model` table in `webui.db` (one row per model)
plus the `model_ids` of each **enabled** OpenAI connection, NOT from live
connection discovery — so the picker shows exactly what is seeded there.
As of 2026-10-07 the picker exposes **exactly one model: `frank-secondary`**.

## API access (auth-gated)
Every `/api/*` endpoint requires an authenticated session (SSO login JWT)
or a per-user API key (`auth.enable_api_keys=true`; keys are minted per
account under Profile → API Keys). Anonymous web visitors get the `pending`
role (`ui.default_user_role=pending`), which cannot chat. Verified

`GET /api/v1/models/list`, `GET /api/v1/models` and
`POST /api/chat/completions` all return **401** with no key (also with a
bogus bearer token); only `/api/config`, `/api/version` and `/health`
answer publicly, and none of them expose the model list. An external
program needs an account + API key — there is no keyless access.

- **2026-09-24 — flipped to SSO-only.** The OIDC round-trip verified in a real browser (login view renders no password form, only "Continue with authentik", and the flow lands on a signed-in session), so the local username/password path was retired: `ENABLE_LOGIN_FORM=false` + `ENABLE_PASSWORD_AUTH=false` in the quadlet and `ui.enable_login_form` set to `false` in the config DB (the DB wins over env, so both were changed together). `qa-e2e-admin` was demoted out of the `authentik Admins` group (it keeps `openwebui_users` / `homepage-admins` for app access).
- **2026-10-07 — picker narrowed to `frank-secondary` only.** Per Frank: the only model accessible in OpenWebUI is `frank-secondary`. Rebuilt the `model` table to a single `frank-secondary` row (the old rows `frank-large`/`frank-primary`/`frank-small` are deleted), set `openai.api_configs` indices 0 (frank-large) and 1 (frank-primary) to `enable: false`, and retargeted index 2's `model_ids` from the stale `frank-small` label to `frank-secondary` — llama.cpp serves by alias, so the old label addressed a model name the server does not know. Pre-change snapshot: `/home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data/webui.db.bak-20261007` (+ `-wal`/`-shm`). Verified: `/api/v1/models/list` returns exactly `["frank-secondary"]`, chat completion answers `pong` (needs `max_tokens≥1500` — the Qwen3.5 thinking block consumes a 200-token budget), and anonymous API probes are all 401 (see [API access](#api-access-auth-gated)).
