secrets-init: SERVICE_TOKEN читаемый для сервера (как DB_PASSWORD, JWT_SECRET)

Без этого после #26 сервер не стартует: AccessDeniedException /run/mail-secrets/SERVICE_TOKEN
(на prod поправлено руками chmod 644 в томе 2026-11-07).

+**Ловушка у ящика (TRAP):** Настройки → MAILBOXES → кнопка `outbox` у ящика. Всё, что такой ящик отправляет (SMTP или веб) **на чужие адреса**, никому не доставляется: одна копия ложится в его же INBOX. Письма на наши адреса и рассылки (`alerts-staging@`) доставляются как обычно. Для `staging@` — тестовые письма staging-стенда не попадают к живым людям, а алерты staging доходят до команды.
+
+**Папки по `+метке`:** письмо на `bob+prod@jambocheck.com` ложится в ящик `bob@` в папку **prod** (создаётся сама). В имени ящика и рассылки `+` нельзя. Метка не может быть системной папкой (Spam, Trash …) — тогда INBOX.
+
+**Рассылки (LISTS):** Настройки → LISTS. Письмо на адрес рассылки (`alerts-prod@`) → **каждому участнику своя копия** (своё «прочитано») в папку рассылки. Закрытая рассылка (по умолчанию) принимает письма только от вошедших отправителей (Kuma через `monitor@`, Jambotron) — снаружи 550. Адрес рассылки не может совпадать с ящиком.
+
+**Несколько ящиков у одного логина:** слева в меню **MAILBOXES** — свой ящик, общие, в которых ты участник, и подключённые (кнопка ⊕: адрес + пароль того ящика). Клик — переключиться; «×» — убрать из своего меню.
+
+**Общий ящик** (`support@`, `billing@`): Настройки → MAILBOXES → галочка «shared mailbox» при создании, кнопка `group` — кто может его открывать. Своего пароля и входа у него нет; «прочитано» общее (командный ящик); у письма видно **«Answered by …»** — кто ответил из веб-почты. В профиле открытого чужого ящика пароль/имя не меняются.
+
+**В почтовой программе** (Thunderbird, телефон) общий или подключённый ящик — логин `ящик*свой_логин` (например `support@jambocheck.com*jambotronpw@jambocheck.com`) и **свой** пароль; так и для IMAP, и для SMTP (письма уходят от имени общего ящика).
+
+**Служебное API для Jambotron** (`/api/service/**`, заголовок `Authorization: Bearer <SERVICE_TOKEN>`; токен генерирует `secrets-init` в томе секретов — файл `SERVICE_TOKEN`, без токена API выключено): Общие ящики: `PUT /shared/{address}` `{displayName, members[]}` — создать при отсутствии, точный состав участников; выключение аккаунта убирает его и из общих ящиков.
+`PUT /accounts/{email}` `{displayName, active}` — создать (201 + пароль один раз) или изменить; `active:false` — выключить и убрать из всех рассылок · `POST /accounts/{email}/password` — новый пароль один раз · `GET /accounts/{email}` · `GET /lists` · `PUT /lists/{address}` `{folder, description, openToOutside, members[]}` — точный состав · `DELETE /lists/{address}`.
