fix(setup): warn when ADMIN_EMAIL/ADMIN_PASSWORD are ignored, ship reset-admin

The first-run seeder only applies ADMIN_EMAIL/ADMIN_PASSWORD on an empty
database and then silently ignores them. People add the vars after the first
boot, or pull a fresh image without clearing ./data, restart, and cannot log
in with no hint why (#1339). The default is a generated password (not the
.env.example placeholder), printed once in the first-run box. Now: warn loudly
when the vars are set but a user already exists, and warn on a partial
(one-of-two) config instead of quietly falling back.

Also ship the reset-admin recovery script in the image -- it was never COPYed in
despite the wiki referencing it. node server/reset-admin.js resets/creates
admin@trek.local with a generated password (RESET_ADMIN_EMAIL/RESET_ADMIN_PASSWORD
overridable), picks a free username so it cannot trip UNIQUE(username), and sets
must_change_password.

 ## Notes
 - Ingress is off by default. Enable and configure hosts for your domain.
-- PVCs require a default StorageClass or specify one as needed.
+- PVCs use the cluster's default StorageClass. Set `persistence.data.storageClassName` and/or `persistence.uploads.storageClassName` to bind a specific class.
 - `JWT_SECRET` is managed entirely by the server — auto-generated into the data PVC on first start and rotatable via the admin panel (Settings → Danger Zone). No Helm configuration needed.
 - `ENCRYPTION_KEY` encrypts stored secrets (API keys, MFA, SMTP, OIDC) at rest. Recommended: set via `secretEnv.ENCRYPTION_KEY` or `existingSecret`. If left empty, the server falls back automatically: existing installs use `data/.jwt_secret` (no action needed on upgrade); fresh installs auto-generate a key persisted to the data PVC.
 - If using ingress, you must manually keep `env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS` and `ingress.hosts` in sync to ensure CORS works correctly. The chart does not sync these automatically.
