This PR is part of a stack containing 4 PRs:

  1. main
  2. docs(design): rule the user-secret scope selector and correct D8 (RIG-3655) #1169
  3. feat(server): scope user-secret writes per caller (RIG-3655) #1187
  4. feat(server)!: delete the server-secret write path #1220
  5. "docs(secrets): correct the value-location prose the DB store obsoleted" (this PR)

Two docs still claimed secret values live only in the provider and are never
persisted. That is false for user secrets now: their values are AES-256-GCM
ciphertext on the secrets row, decrypted through StoreResolver. It stays true
for boot/server secrets, whose names live in a physically separate table, so
the prose states the split rather than one blanket rule.

Also replaces the record's line-number citations with the rulings they mean.
The record has grown past those offsets, so each already pointed at the wrong
text; D8 gates a tenant-scoped write on an admin and D9 rules the scope
selector, neither of which is the user-only gate they were cited for.
