audit-D16: operator key must never be an agent identity
Background: CAYCE_OPS_OPERATOR_PUBKEY was set to Cayce nostr pubkey —
Cayce was approving itself. Signature was technically valid but semantically
null: human approval signed by the agent is not human approval.

- signing.py: validate_no_self_approval() rejects the operator pubkey when
  it matches (a) the pubkey derived from any private key in the config,
  or (b) any pubkey in CAYCE_OPS_FORBIDDEN_OPERATOR_PUBKEYS deny-list.
- executor/maild/publisher _signing() now calls the validation, so every
  daemon and every CLI approve-* path refuses to operate (D16).
- tests: 6 new (agent-key refusal, human key passes, empty passes,
  explicit denylist, end-to-end daemon refusal, derivation roundtrip).
- docs/DECISIONS.md: D16.

The operator signature is now produced OUTSIDE the VPS. CAYCE_OPS_OPERATOR_PUBKEY
must stay empty until the external signer exists — daemons refuse, which is
correct. The Cayce nsec itself is NOT touched (still the agent identity for
publishing and anchoring).

"""executor — executes APPROVED proposals through registered action plugins.
Guarantees
----------
- Only ``approved`` proposals execute (``AUTONOMOUS_MODE=false`` default).
- With ``AUTONOMOUS_MODE=true`` the executor gains exactly one capability:
bounded auto-approval of ``proposed`` items whose ``kind`` is in
``CAYCE_OPS_AUTONOMOUS_KINDS``, capped by ``CAYCE_OPS_AUTONOMOUS_DAILY_CAP``,
recorded with actor ``auto:policy`` (DECISIONS D5).
- Every transition writes an ``audit_log`` row: who approved, what ran,
plugin output, success/failure.
- Unknown proposal kinds fall back to the ``log_action`` plugin (never a
network side effect). See DECISIONS D9.
