Owner

secret.yaml no longer carries placeholders for these -- the unused ones were removed as speculative. Add each key back when the widget lands.

service	widget type	auth
qBittorrent	`qbittorrent`	username + password
Jellyfin	`jellyfin`	API key
Beszel	`beszel`	password
Proxmox	`proxmox`	API token `user@realm!tokenid`

Proxmox is only worth it if the VMs are reachable from the cluster -- the dashboard runs in-cluster, not on the Proxmox host.

Steps

Add the placeholder to secret.yaml.
Reference {{ HOMEPAGE_VAR_<NAME> }} in the tile's widget.key in values.yaml.
Patch the real value into the live secret.
Run python3 scripts/check-homepage-widgets.py -- the widget url: needs the Service port, not the MetalLB port. Getting this wrong is what silently broke all four media widgets.
