Tim O'Farrellandopenhands 95b6d7a23e fix: persist OH_SECRET_KEY to secret-key.txt in dev mode, same as Docker (#957)
Dev mode (npm run dev) was always using the hardcoded static default key
'openhands-dev-secret-key-change-in-prod' from config/defaults.json.
Docker mode (docker/entrypoint.sh) generates a random key on first run and
persists it to ~/.openhands/agent-canvas/secret-key.txt.

When both modes share the same ~/.openhands directory, they used different
keys — causing decryption failures for any settings encrypted by the other
mode.

Fix: remove the static default in dev-safe.mjs and instead use
getOrCreatePersistedApiKey() with a new DEFAULT_SECRET_KEY_PATH constant
pointing to the same secret-key.txt file that Docker reads/writes.
Whichever mode runs first generates and persists the key; the other picks
it up automatically on next start.

- Add DEFAULT_SECRET_KEY_PATH export to dev-safe.mjs
- Replace 'env.OH_SECRET_KEY || DEFAULT_SECRET_KEY' with
  'env.OH_SECRET_KEY || getOrCreatePersistedApiKey(secretKeyPath, "secret")'
- Update startup log to show persisted file path (not 'default (for local development)')
- Remove now-unused 'defaults.secretKey' from config/defaults.json
- Update AGENTS.md to reflect the new shared-file behavior

* `owner_instance_id` for a 45 s TTL refreshed by heartbeat. On
* graceful shutdown the agent-server unlinks its leases; on a hard
* kill (or a fast restart, well under 45 s) the leases linger. A new
* agent-server with a fresh `owner_instance_id` will then raise
* `ConversationLeaseHeldError` for each conversation at startup load
* and skip it entirely — `/api/conversations/search` returns `[]`
* even though the meta files are right there on disk.
*
* The caller MUST verify (e.g. with `isPortBusy`) that no agent-server
* is currently bound to the backend port before calling this — there
* is no other reliable way to tell a stale lease from an actively
* renewed one.
*
* Returns the number of lease files unlinked.
