+# Redis admin password, backing toolshed's managed cache add-on.
+#
+# Only one consumer, unlike the Postgres credential next door: the Redis
+# server itself needs it to seed its ACL file on first boot. toolshed's api
+# reads it from the *connection* an operator configures in the dashboard
+# (encrypted in toolshed's own database via the secretbox keyring), not from
+# a Kubernetes Secret — so there is deliberately no second ExternalSecret
+# into the toolshed namespace here.
+#
+# Put the credential in Vault BEFORE syncing this. External Secrets cannot
+# create a Secret for a path that does not exist, and the Redis pod's init
+# container will sit in CreateContainerConfigError until it can:
+#
+#   kubectl -n vault exec -i vault-0 -- sh -lc '
+#     vault login <root-token> >/dev/null &&
+#     vault kv put secret/toolshed/redis \
+#       password=<a long alphanumeric password>'
+#
+# Use an alphanumeric password. It is written into the ACL file as
+# `user default on ><password> ...` by the init container, where a space or
+# a quote would split the directive and produce a server that either fails
+# to start or, worse, starts with different rules than intended.
+#
+# Remember that `kubectl exec` into Vault is unauthenticated by default —
+# without the `vault login` the commands fail with a "preflight capability
+# check" error that reads like a permissions bug rather than a missing
+# login.
+#
+# Rotating this password later does NOT propagate to a running server: the
+# init container only ever writes the ACL file when it is absent, precisely
+# so it cannot delete the per-app users toolshed has provisioned into it.
+# To rotate, update Vault and then, against the running server:
+#
+#   ACL SETUSER default >newpassword
