cleanup(config): remove literal credential compatibility residue

Adapter schemas now carry only credential references, but the Models join, onboarding readiness, shipped overlays, SDK scaffolding, fixtures, and active decision prose still treated a redacted literal apiKey as a supported compatibility state. That residue made an unsupported field look contractual and pinned Schemastery silent-dropping as behavior.

Delete those branches and examples, and let compositions and scaffolds use adapter-owned reference and environment resolution. Do not add a tombstone validator or change generic unknown-key behavior: literal adapter credentials have no migration contract to preserve.

**Per-request resolution, not fiber rebuilds.** The adapters take an options thunk (and a per-stream credential resolver) instead of frozen construction facts, resolving once per operation — the Pi pattern, with its tested semantics: two requests straddling a change see two configurations, one request resolves exactly once, and an in-flight stream keeps the facts it started with. This deletes the entire swap machinery a rebuild design needs (`DUPLICATE_ADAPTER` ordering, `NO_ADAPTER` windows, a deferred-activation state machine) and makes a missing key a *request-time* actionable failure (`MISSING_CREDENTIAL` naming every entry point) while the route stays registered and the catalog stays browsable. The one registration-captured fact — the retry policy the `ctx.llm` registry snapshots at `registerAdapter` (plus pi-ai's route *set*) — re-registers the same adapter instance in one synchronous section when it changes.
**Secrets are references, values live behind `ctx.credentials`.** Configuration (both planes) carries `apiKeyEnv: DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`; the three-package credential seam resolves it per operation. `credentials-local` layers the live process environment (read-only, wins — a launch-time override is operator intent and must be *visibly* read-only, so shadowed writes reject instead of appearing to succeed) over the provider-managed document (writable, wholesale snapshot replacement on reload so a deleted entry never lingers — the Claude Code additive-reapply lesson). That document was `$DSH_HOME/.env` in dotenv form; the [credentials document split](2026-08-04-credentials-yaml-and-user-environment-layer.md) later moved it to `$DSH_HOME/.credentials.yaml` and freed the old path to become the user's environment layer. Resolution order in the adapters is literal `apiKey` first (preserving the historical `config.apiKey ?? env` observable semantics), then the seam, then — only without a mounted seam — the raw environment variable.

Adapters resolve the reference through the seam, or — only without a mounted seam — through the environment layers.
**Per-plugin namespaces, schema ≡ `Config`.** Each adapter registers its own namespace (`llm-deepseek`, `llm-pi-ai`) with its plugin `Config` schema and its `cordis.yml` entry as the composition `base` — a settings section is the same YAML shape as the entry config, and `resolveAdapterOptions`/`resolveProfiles` stay the one explicit resolve step for both. A live snapshot failing a beyond-schema bound keeps the last good facts (the seam's last-good philosophy extended one level up); the entry config itself still fails load. pi-ai's `providers` became a dict keyed by route so base and user layers merge per provider and the route set is structural; the array shape fails loud with migration directions, and an empty dict is the valid dormant posture — a composition ships the adapter bare and every route stays a user-plane decision.
