v0.108.0: hub-verified escrow auto-confirm on current-password hash match (SLICE 3)

EscrowAutoConfirmer flips pending->escrowed ONLY when sha256(local repo
password) matches the ACK's restic_pw_sha256 (blob-presence alone never
confirms — red-proofed). Mismatch warns once per hash naming the ceremony;
never un-confirms; wipes the staged secret on flip. Pinned cross-repo hash
vector; manual confirm deprecated to a legacy-blob fallback.

## Changelog
### v0.108.0 — SLICE 3: hub-verified escrow auto-confirm (current-password hash match) (2026-07-09)
Replaces operator trust with a verified fact (pairs with agent v0.79.0 + hub v0.40.0): the report ACK now
carries `escrow:{identity_blob_present, restic_pw_sha256, created_at}` and the controller flips offbox
`EscrowState` pending→escrowed ONLY when `sha256(local repo_password) == restic_pw_sha256` — i.e. the
stored escrow provably covers the CURRENT key, not merely "a blob exists" (a stale blob would re-open the
un-recoverable-ciphertext gap fork-4 closed).
- **`internal/report`:** `PushResponse.Escrow` + `EscrowAutoConfirmer` (long-lived; runs on every ACK):
match → flip (`UpdateOffboxStatus`) + wipe the agent-staged secret (the v0.107.0 DELETE path, best-effort
loud); mismatch → stays pending + a LOUD warn naming the fix ("run the escrow ceremony"), **deduped per
distinct hash** (not per 15-min cycle); no row / NULL hash / hash-without-identity-blob / no local
password file → stays pending silently (fail-closed); non-pending → total no-op (**never un-confirms**).
**Companion red-proof:** modeled the blob-present-only check → the stale-blob and hash-less scenarios
flipped when they must not → tests FAILED. Reverted — hash-match is the load-bearing core.
- **`internal/backup`:** `HashResticPassword` (canonical: sha256 hex over the TRIMMED string — **pinned
cross-repo test vector**, same vector asserted in felhom-agent) + `Manager.OffboxRepoPasswordHash`.
- **`internal/web`:** the manual `POST /backup/offbox/confirm-escrow` is now a documented **deprecated
fallback** for legacy hash-less blobs (e.g. the demo's) — auto-confirm is primary.
- Hashes are safe to log (non-reversible over a 256-bit random secret); passwords never appear in logs.
### v0.107.0 — offsite hardening: key-auth-first bridge + staged-secret wipe on confirm (2026-07-09)
Part of the offsite-provisioning hardening bundle (pairs with hub v0.39.0 + agent v0.78.0).
