env-setup: self-heal missing AUTH_SECRET when resuming a pre-#258 environment (#260)

\n

Environments whose DB record was written before #258 can lack AUTH_SECRET\nin envConfig.secrets - the wizard generated it in memory and wrote it to a\nnow-defunct non-vcs/secrets/ file but never persisted it. Resuming such an\nenvironment failed at the deployToFlyio pre-flight check with\n"missing required secrets [AUTH_SECRET]", forcing a destroy/recreate or a\nhand-backfill into the DB document.

resumeEnvironment now classifies missing REQUIRED_SECRETS before deploy:
