A failed MAC check (key/ciphertext divergence: restored backup,
clobbered prefs, racing key generation across isolates) threw from
CredentialVault.reveal on the startup profile-settings path and
crash-looped the app until data was wiped — one device logged 31
fatals in 16 minutes on 2.8.0.
Decrypt failure now means the credential is lost, never a crash:
reveal() returns null, ProfileConnectionRegistry maps it onto the
existing empty-token lazy-fetch sentinel and heals the row so later
boots re-acquire the token instead of re-failing, and
revealConnectionConfig degrades tokens to empty strings without
marking them migrated. Key init also reloads prefs before deciding to
generate and re-reads after writing, adopting whatever landed so all
isolates converge on a single key instead of orphaning ciphertext.
Delete unused registry members (ProfileConnectionRegistry.insertIfAbsent /
removeAllForProfile, ProfileRegistry.reorder, ProfilesView.countFor,
ConnectionRegistry.getDefault) and their orphan tests, refreshing the stale
docs that named removeAllForProfile as the profile-delete cleanup path.
Repair the "one default per profile" join-row invariant: the connectionId FK
cascade (foreign_keys=ON) silently drops a profile's default row while its
other rows survive, leaving it defaultless. Add promoteMissingDefaults, share
a deterministic re-promotion helper with remove(), and re-promote in
removeAllForConnection.

reconcile tokens/membership in background once it lands
- cached endpoint probe gets a head start on the race instead of serially
blocking it
