Remove the shared Compose password from the main installation entry point, preserve image and data settings, and explain existing-deployment credential overrides. Extend the auth guide controls and rendered browser navigation checks to this page.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and its controls now reflect the existing bootstrap and environment-override behaviour; no runtime or API contract changes.

Remove the shared-password override from German and Spanish Compose setup and the password-on-argv example from configuration help. Default to bootstrap setup; exercise private-file permissions, argument boundaries and failed preparation with synthetic credentials.
Contract-Neutral: Help and regression fixtures only; authentication, container and API contracts are unchanged.
