thePR0M3TH3ANandClaude Fable 5 b0e2a309a4 feat: generate a master seed, and fix three bugs found by using the CLI
Driving the CLI from an empty app directory turned up a gap that no test
covered: there was no way to create a vault. Every path assumed you already
had a seed and told you to export SEEDPASS_MNEMONIC, so a new user could not
get started at all. Python has generate_bip85_seed; the port did not.

fingerprint create fills that in with the same construction Python uses --
32 bytes of OS entropy through BIP-85 app 39 index 0. The entropy call sits
outside any try/catch on purpose, carried over from Python's entropy audit:
nothing may catch a CSPRNG failure and substitute a value.

Where the phrase goes is a deliberate choice rather than a default. This is
the one secret in SeedPass with no other copy, so:

  - the destination is validated BEFORE generating, and delivery happens
    BEFORE the profile is created -- a failure at either point leaves
    nothing behind rather than a vault whose seed nobody has;
  - --out writes 0600 with O_EXCL, so an existing file is never clobbered;
  - with no destination and a non-TTY stdout it refuses outright, instead of
    writing the only copy of a seed into a pipe -- a log, a transcript, an
    agent's context.

Also fixed, all found the same way:

  - use --exec always exited 0, so chaining a deploy command after it with
    && reported success even when the deploy failed. The sink child's exit
    status is now the CLI's own.
  - the sink command spec split on whitespace and ignored quotes, so
    --exec 'sh -c "..."' -- the most common form there is -- handed sh the
    fragments of the script and died on an unterminated string.
  - --tags work,dev silently stored a single tag named "work,dev" that no
    search would ever match. Commas and spaces both separate now.

Two normal states reported raw errno: a stopped agent said
'connect ENOENT /.../agent.sock', and an occupied --out path said EEXIST.

The capability map claimed ssh/pgp were unported. Both work and are at
parity with Python; automation branches on that list, so it now describes
this build.

Verified against Python on a TS-generated seed: same fingerprint, same
password, same TOTP code. 320 JS tests and 36/36 cross-impl checks pass.
