Taylor H. Perkins 8a76de962f fix(secrets): make 1Password bootstrap token reliable outside systemd
The 1Password secret source resolves op:// references using
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN read from os.environ. Under systemd the gateway
gets that token via EnvironmentFile, but cron jobs, subprocesses, CLI
runs, macOS launchd, and Docker containers spawn fresh interpreters with
no inherited shell state — so they silently failed to resolve any
reference and fell back to empty strings.

Two patches close the gap, matching Bitwarden's reliability guarantees:

1. env_loader: auto-load ~/.hermes/.op.env after .env so the gitignored
   bootstrap token is available everywhere. override=False plus an
   explicit guard ensure it never clobbers a token already in env (e.g.
   from a systemd EnvironmentFile, which keeps precedence).

2. credential_pool: _get_env_prefer_dotenv() now prefers the resolved
   value in os.environ when .env still holds a raw op:// reference,
   instead of handing a URL to provider auth. Non-op:// values keep the
   existing .env-takes-precedence behaviour.

Also gitignore .op.env, document the three bootstrap-token options, and
add tests covering auto-load, no-override, and the resolved-vs-raw
precedence (plus regression guards).
