When a staff account already exists, the break-glass console now opens on a
thin top-level menu (menuModel) where account operations are peers rather than
tails of one wizard: provision/reset the Owner, or add an Operator. A fresh
machine with no Owner skips the menu and goes straight to Owner bootstrap, since
minting an Operator first would create a staff account the login gate rejects.
The Operator path reuses ownerModel via a bgOperation discriminator. It is
insert-only (performAddOperator -> InsertOperator), wraps a duplicate username as
api.ErrConflict and routes back to the provision form for a retry rather than
tearing down, and deliberately never flips the global local_auth toggle the way
the Owner thread does. The post-exit summary and audit trail distinguish the two
outcomes (isOperator); only the Owner provision claims local-password login was
enabled.
Tests cover the operator-model defaults, path selection (insert vs upsert and
the local-auth gate), conflict-retry versus generic teardown, isOperator
propagation, and the root menu routing for both fresh and admin-present
machines.
