fix(GRO-2089): correct Authentik customer credential source in §5.25 pre-conditions

The UAT_PLAYBOOK §5.25 (Customer Portal — Better Auth SSO Bridge) pre-condition
incorrectly stated that the Authentik customer password comes from
seed-uat-passwords:customer-password. That Secret holds the *Better Auth*
email+password credential — a different identity store. The actual Authentik
uat-customer password lives in authentik-uat-users-credentials:uat_customer_password,
provisioned by infra/terraform/users.tf with lifecycle.ignore_changes = [password].

UAT testers were using the Better Auth value at the Authentik OIDC step and
getting 401'd, blocking GRO-2026. Verified 2026-06-02: pulling the correct
Secret value, signing in via SSO, and POST /api/portal/session-from-auth all
succeed (returns 201 with valid portal session).

-### 5.27 Customer Portal — Authenticated HTML-route cold mount (GRO-2099)
-
-These cases guard against the regression where a customer who had just completed SSO sign-in was bounced back to `/login` (with a blank React root) when navigating directly to `/portal`, `/book`, `/schedule`, or even `/login` itself. Root cause: `Dashboard.tsx`'s `!sessionId && !isImpersonating && !getDevUser()` guard fired during the CustomerPortal's bootstrap — before the SSO bridge resolved `portalSessionId` — and redirected to `/login`. The fix: `CustomerPortal` now shows a loading state while the bootstrap is in flight, so the portal chrome and its `!sessionId` child guards do not mount prematurely. App.tsx additionally redirects an authenticated user at `/login` to `/` instead of rendering `null`.

-| # | Scenario | Steps | Expected |
-|---|----------|-------|----------|
-| TC-WEB-5.27.1 | Authenticated customer lands on `/portal` after direct nav | 1. From clean state, complete TC-WEB-5.25.1 (SSO sign-in as a customer). 2. Land on `/`. 3. `browser_navigate` (full page load) directly to `/portal`. | Final URL stays at `/portal`. The React root is non-empty. The portal dashboard renders with the customer's name. No `Navigate to /login` fires. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.2 | Authenticated customer lands on `/book` and `/schedule` after direct nav | From TC-WEB-5.27.1, `browser_navigate` to `/book` then `/schedule` (one fresh navigation each). | Each final URL stays at the navigated path. The portal chrome is visible. The page does not redirect to `/login`. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.3 | Authenticated customer at `/login` is auto-redirected to `/` | From TC-WEB-5.27.1, `browser_navigate` to `/login`. | The browser ends at `/` (not at a blank `/login`). The portal dashboard renders. No blank React root at `/login`. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.4 | Loading state is visible during the bootstrap, no portal chrome flash | 1. With the UAT build under test, open DevTools → Network and throttle to Slow 3G. 2. Sign in via SSO. 3. Land on `/`. | A "Loading…" element (`role="status"`) is briefly visible. The portal nav (Home / Appointments / etc.) is NOT visible during the loading window. No `Navigate to /login` fires during the bootstrap. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.5 | SSO bridge still runs and yields 201 | From TC-WEB-5.27.4 (or TC-WEB-5.27.1), inspect Network. | The same `GET /api/auth/get-session` (200) → `POST /api/portal/session-from-auth` (201) sequence from TC-WEB-5.25.2 still runs. The customer name appears in the greeting. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.6 | Unauthenticated direct nav to `/portal` still ends at `/login` (no regression) | Clear cookies. `browser_navigate` to `/portal`. | The portal briefly shows the loading state, then `CustomerPortal`'s `!session && !portalSessionId` guard redirects to `/login`. The login form renders. No infinite loop. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.7 | Groomer SSO still works (no regression) | 1. From clean state, sign in via SSO as the groomer identity (uat-groomer). 2. Land on `/`. | `App.tsx`'s staff check redirects to `/admin`. The groomer nav renders. No `CustomerPortal` flash. No `/portal` redirect loop. |
-| TC-WEB-5.27.8 | Impersonation session still works (no regression) | 1. With an active impersonation session, open `/?sessionId=<id>`. | The amber "STAFF VIEW" chrome renders. The portal loads. No `/login` redirect. |

 ### 5.26 Customer Portal — RescheduleFlow under SSO Bridge (GRO-2012)
 
 These cases guard against the regression where an SSO-bridge customer (no `?sessionId=` URL param, no impersonation session) could trigger the RescheduleFlow and have `RescheduleFlow` receive `sessionId={null}`, which caused the internal `/api/book/availability` call to send `X-Impersonation-Session-Id: ` (empty) and return 401. The fix: `CustomerPortal` now passes `sessionId={session?.id ?? portalSessionId}` to `<RescheduleFlow>` (matching the fallback `renderSection()` already used).
