Add the check and deploy-key scripts

check.sh is the full static gate and the single source of the tool version
pins, which CI reads with --print-specs so a workflow cannot drift from what
runs locally. load-ssh-key.sh is the only thing that knows where the deploy
key comes from — file, CI secret, or Vault — and prints a path, never key
material.

# Ansible itself knows exactly one thing about credentials: SSH_KEY_PATH, a path
# to a 0600 private key. This script is the only thing that knows where that key
# comes from, so adding a backend never touches the inventory or a playbook.

# env (default) the key is already on disk at $SSH_KEY_PATH
# ci from $SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 or $SSH_PRIVATE_KEY

#
# Select with the first argument or $SSH_KEY_BACKEND. Only the path is printed;
# key material never reaches stdout, a CI log, or the process list.
