The walkthrough told new users to log in with `password123` and said they'd
be "prompted to change this password immediately". Neither is true on a
release build:
- `AuthManager::ensure_default_user` is never called. `main.rs:356-362`
says so explicitly ("Don't auto-create default user — let onboarding flow
handle password setup via auth.setup"), and the function is `#[allow(dead_code)]`.
- The only `password123` login path is `api/rpc/auth.rs:36-46`, which is
`#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` AND `dev_mode` AND only fires *before* setup —
no release binary carries it.
- `Login.vue` calls `auth.isSetup` on mount and renders the "Set Up Your
Node" password-creation form when it returns false. That is the real
first-boot screen, and it is the only `auth.setup` caller in the frontend.
So there is nothing to be "prompted to change" — the user creates the
password themselves, and the doc's version taught them to look for a
default that does not exist.
Fixed in four places:
- user-walkthrough Step 8 rewritten as "Create Your Password"
- troubleshooting's "Default password is password123" solution replaced,
including the warning that deleting user.json does NOT recover a lost
password (the onboarding gate refuses auth.setup on a provisioned node)
- api-reference cURL example uses a placeholder, not the fake default
- 1.8.0 hardening plan's "kill default credentials" item now reflects that
the web half is done and only the SSH defaults still ship

authoritative behaviour is always the code in core/; where a doc and the code
disagree, the code wins and the doc is a bug.
