Stand up railiance01 receiver without founder bao kv put

Database leases come from ClusterSecretStore openbao-audit-core-database
(one extract, one lease). Senders are minted in-cluster. Secret mounts
use fsGroup 10001. Schema 0001-0004 applied after dropping the isolation
stub events table. /readyz reports custody_class=archive.
