+  #                           encrypts sensitive DB fields); lifted byte-identical.
+  #   POSTGRES_PASSWORD     - the SINGLE DB-password key; feeds BOTH postgres
+  #                           (env POSTGRES_PASSWORD) AND server/worker
+  #                           (env AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__PASSWORD) -> cannot drift.
+  # The old secret's dead 3rd key (AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__PASSWORD, orphan) is
+  # intentionally NOT carried; it retires when the old secret is deleted.
+  # Consumer secretKeyRef.key values already match these names -> passthrough.
