P2 Badge Document the unlocked-console security impact

When anyone besides the intended operator can access the Incus graphical console, autologon plus the RDP handoff exposes a permanently unlocked administrator desktop after every boot or RDP disconnect. The existing Safety impact section only discusses VM creation, and this change provides neither a warning nor commands to disable Autologon and win01-rdp-to-console, leaving operators without the risk and rollback guidance required for this runbook.

Rotating the `josh` password requires running Autologon again with the new
password (`C:\ProgramData\win01\Autologon64.exe /accepteula josh WIN01 <password>`).

P2 Badge Update the canonical secret during password rotation

When josh is rotated on the live VM, rerunning Autologon updates only its stored credential; this procedure does not tell the operator to update win01.admin_password in services/windows/win01.sops.yaml, even though that file is the documented password source and is consumed when install media are staged. A later rebuild can therefore restore the old password and make the documented credential fail, so the rotation steps should update both the live account/Autologon and the canonical SOPS value.
