NK-WP-0056-T18 (part): executor's own approval client and request phase

KeyCapeClientCredentials: client_secret_basic exchange, one scope per token,
public Host for the in-cluster URL, no redirects, bounded response checks.
ApprovalEngine takes a per-scope token provider (create/read/consume) and
can create. cli.py --request files the approval for one admission as
service:nk-bind-executor (principal = first approver's subject, target
admission id+digest, validity = window, human_control, required_count =
approvers) and verifies the created object. The client secret comes through
its own OpenBao lane (oidc-service-client case), read once, login revoked at
once, kept in memory only. Refusals before any call: other executor,
unmapped approver, closed window, shared role. 56 executor tests.

Request (NK-WP-0056-T18): file the approval for one admission as the executor itself (approval-engine requires
binding.actor == the token's sub). Binding: action bounded-execution, actor = executor_identity, principal = the
first listed approver's subject, target {admission_id, admission_digest}, validity = the admission window,
human_control on, required_count = number of listed approvers. Prints the approval id; consumes nothing.
Exit codes: 0 requested, 4 refused.
approval_engine.client{token_url, client_id, k8s_role, kv, host?} selects the executor's own KeyCape client
(SecurityCaseType oidc-service-client, case nk-bind-executor-approval): the client secret is read once through its
own OpenBao lane (k8s_role, field CLIENT_SECRET), that login is revoked at once, and every approval call exchanges a
fresh token for exactly its scope. approval_engine.token_file remains for fixtures.
Journey-only (NK-WP-0056-T10): read-only, no admission. Logs in with the journey role only (journey.k8s_role, the
openbao-audience token), runs the synthetic journey once and prints its value-free receipt. No write role, no
Kubernetes or directory client, no approval or audit call. Needs only openbao{addr, jwt_file, ca_file?} and
