Replace GitHub Actions Secrets with HashiCorp Vault (https://vault.svc.plus):
- permissions: id-token: write; auth via hashicorp/vault-action@v2 (method=jwt,
role=github-actions-xworkspace-console, audience=vault) — no static token.
- Each job loads only the keys it needs from kv/data/github-actions/xworkspace-console
(VULTR_API_KEY, INFRA_REPO_TOKEN, ANSIBLE_SSH_KEY, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN,
DEEPSEEK/NVIDIA/OLLAMA_API_KEY, optional TF_STATE_*).
- Backend gating now keys off the Vault output (steps.vault.outputs.TF_STATE_BUCKET).
- Drop unused 'playbook' input (deploy is on-host bootstrap).
Pattern mirrors xworkmate-app/.github/workflows/build-and-release.yml.
