The seeded-password rotation was forced before the panel was reachable. It is now a
nudge, not a wall: the prompt shows once per session and can be skipped, and a standing
warning banner keeps reminding while the default password is still in use.
- EnsureSecurityOnboarded redirects to the password page only when must_change_password
AND the session has not set onboarding.password_skipped (set by PasswordChange::skip,
which lands on the dashboard WITHOUT rotating — so the flag/banner persist).
- app layout shows a default-password warning banner while must_change_password is true.
- the metrics broadcast channel no longer gates on securityOnboarded() — a deliberately
un-rotated (but authenticated) operator would otherwise lose realtime metrics;
/broadcasting/auth still runs in the web group (guest = 403), so it stays auth-gated.
- 2FA was already optional (never enforced) — only the login copy was wrong: "2FA
required/enforced" → "recommended/optional" (de + en).
Browser-verified (R12): login → skippable prompt → dashboard banner → free navigation
(no re-redirect); login copy correct; zero console errors. Full suite 465 pass.
