Peter Steinberger bdcc6836e0 refactor(gateway): retire the Control UI device-auth migration window (#124667)
* refactor(gateway): delete the retired Control UI device-auth migration window

The one-time remediation window for the retired
gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth break-glass threaded a pending
state machine through the connect pipeline, startup bootstrap, lifecycle,
request context, device management, security audit, the hello frame, and a
Control UI banner flow — steady-state runtime carrying a retired-shape shim
the architecture reserves for doctor. The window is closed: the retired key
is now fully inert, doctor still detects and removes it, and a browser that
never completed the migration pairs through the normal device flow (one
approval, no data loss).

Deleted with it: the config-machine-state import of the legacy flag, the
hello deviceAuthMigration field (optional; clients validate envelopes only,
so older gateways emitting it stay compatible), the migration-bound device
management authz states, the requireNoPairingCapableOperator approval mode,
the effective-operator pairing event emitter whose only subscriber was the
migration completion, and the Control UI banner, loader, overlay wiring,
i18n strings, and e2e scenario support. Swift and Kotlin protocol models
regenerated.

Live-verified on an isolated gateway with the retired key present in config:
clean boot with no migration warning, silent CLI pairing and silent local
scope widening unaffected, and doctor reporting the key as retired-and-inert.

Net -1111 production LOC.

* fix(ci): finish migration-window cleanup surfaced by the gates

The doctor migration for the retired key kept its "Preserved for remediation"
change text and describe; both now state plain removal, with the retired
tests updated. peekStoredDeviceIdentityId lost its only production consumer
with the deleted banner loader and is removed with its test mock. Also fixes
the unrelated no-unnecessary-boolean-literal-compare lint break that #124636
landed on main in scripts/check-changed.mts (truthiness is equivalent for the
boolean-or-undefined TTY probe).

* fix(ui): drop the retired-key device-auth reader from the security summary

Review findings on the migration-window removal: the Control UI security
summary still derived its "Device auth" row from the retired
dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth key, rendering device auth as disabled on
configurations that merely retain the inert key. Device auth is now
unconditionally enforced, so the row and its derivation are removed rather
than pinned to a constant. The build-admission test also tracks and removes
its temporary device-identity databases after each run.
