ConnorYoh 50bc4a7866 fix(storage): don't query the encryption key registry when storage is off (unblocks backend:dev:saas) (#7265)
# Description of Changes

Fixes a startup failure introduced by #7155 and reported against `task
backend:dev:saas`.

**What goes wrong**

`StorageProviderConfig.storageEncryptionState(...)` is created on every
startup, in every profile. When `storage.encryption.enabled` is false —
the default, and what SaaS ships — the `||` short-circuit evaluates
`fileEncryptionKeyRepository.count()`, a live query against
`file_encryption_keys`:

```java
if (writeEnabled || fileEncryptionKeyRepository.count() > 0) {   // <- always runs when the flag is off
```

That table only exists if `ddl-auto=update` managed to create it. When
it cannot — permissions on a shared Supabase branch DB, concurrent DDL
from several developers, schema ordering — **ddl-auto logs and
continues**, so the situation used to be a warning nobody noticed. Now
it is a query that throws during bean creation and takes the whole
context down.

Two things make this sting in SaaS specifically: `storage.enabled` is
false there, so before this feature nothing ever touched the table; and
`hibernate.default_schema=stirling_pdf` means the table has to exist in
a schema the app may not be able to create in.

There is a second exposure on the request path:
`suppressDirectDownloads()` also counts (60s cached), so even a
surviving boot could 500 on downloads.

**Fix**

- The boot probe runs only when `storage.enabled` is true, so a
deployment that does not use storage never touches the table.
- Registry reads are wrapped. The boot probe degrades to "no keys"
rather than propagating; `suppressDirectDownloads()` **fails safe by
suppressing** rather than issuing a presigned URL it cannot vouch for.
Losing the direct-download fast path is recoverable; serving ciphertext
is not.

**Safety is unchanged, and that is the important part.** The decorator
is still installed unconditionally, so any blob carrying the `SPDFEAR1`
magic is still decrypted via lazy materialisation or fails loudly — the
eager probe only ever bought *earlier* master-key verification. A node
that can actually serve stored files has `storage.enabled` on by
definition, which is exactly the node the drifted-node protection is
for; that test now configures it that way, and a new test pins that the
decorator remains installed even with storage off.

**Tests** — storage-disabled never calls `count()`; an unreadable
registry still boots *and* still suppresses direct downloads; the
decorator stays installed with storage off; storage-enabled still
probes. Full proprietary suite green apart from the pre-existing
Windows-symlink `FolderIdentitiesTest` failure, which is environmental
and unrelated.

**Note on scope:** deliberately minimal so it can land quickly. The
Aikido `findAll()` code-quality finding lives in #7173 only
(`rotateMasterKey` does not exist on main), so it is fixed there rather
than here. #7173 will be rebased once this merges.
