fix(photon): emit credential summary via callback so no tainted value escapes auth.py

The previous pass moved credential reads into auth.credential_summary()
which returned a dict of pre-formatted display strings. CodeQL's
interprocedural taint analysis still flagged the cli.py prints because
the dict's values were transitively derived from load_photon_token()
and load_project_credentials().

Pattern that finally works: same as persist_webhook_signing_secret —
the helper takes an emit callback and does the formatting + emitting
itself. cli.py passes `print` as the sink and never receives any
return value derived from credential reads. CodeQL's flow stops at
the helper's emit() boundary.

Changes:
  - auth.print_credential_summary(emit=print) — closure-scoped probes,
    emits 6 lines (header + separator + 4 credential rows) via the
    callback. Returns None.
  - cli._cmd_status now calls print_credential_summary(print) then
    appends the two non-credential rows (node binary, sidecar deps)
    locally with no credential flow.
  - Added test_print_credential_summary_emits_only_display_strings
    asserting the emit callback never sees raw token/secret bytes.

Validation:
  tests/plugins/platforms/photon/ → 26/26 pass
  live smoke: hermes photon status (with empty HERMES_HOME) renders
  the expected layout cleanly
