Move DefaultAdminPassword out of source code.

SecurePasswordHasher.Hash protects storage, but it does not protect the plaintext credential embedded in source. Load a one-time bootstrap secret from deployment secret storage and require explicit rotation.

Handle the unique-key race during admin seeding.

Concurrent instances can both read no account before Add. The existing unique Accounts.Email index prevents duplicate rows, but one SaveChanges call can fail with a unique-key exception. Catch that exception and reload the account, or use an atomic upsert. Add a concurrent-startup test.

Account, or replace the sequence with an atomic upsert. Preserve the existing
admin account when present and add a test covering concurrent startup seeding.

Validate the account role before changing credentials.

If admin@bitween.systems belongs to a non-admin account, the email-only lookup reuses that account without assigning AccountRole.Admin, then AddEmailLoginMethod unconditionally replaces its password. Handle this email/role collision through a controlled bootstrap path before changing credentials.

Do not overwrite an existing administrator password on every startup.

EnsureDefaultAdmin always calls Account.AddEmailLoginMethod for the existing account. The method directly assigns the supplied hash to Password. This restores the default credential after every restart and defeats password rotation and revocation. Set the password only during initial provisioning or an explicit reset.

EnsureDefaultAdmin so AddEmailLoginMethod is invoked only when the administrator
account is initially provisioned or an explicit password reset is requested;
preserve the existing password for an already-configured account during startup,
while retaining SaveChanges for actual changes.
