[keyman] phase 2: guard the directories nothing creates

encrypt read ~/.ssh and the tmp directory, and decrypt read <vault>/keys,
with no existsSync between them. main.ts created vaultRoot and tmpDir but
never keysDir, so decrypt on a fresh vault threw ENOENT instead of
printing the "no encrypted keys" message it already had — the message was
unreachable until something else created the directory.

Both functions now fall through to their warning. main.ts creates all
three directories, 0700: the vault holds the age identity and tmp holds
plaintext private keys.

age spawns go through runTool, which separates "not installed" (ENOENT,
whose message is `spawn age ENOENT`) from "age refused" (whose reason is
on stderr and nowhere in the thrown message). Tested against real
processes, not a mocked execa — the shape of the failure is the point.

list.ts kept statSync rather than switching to withFileTypes as planned:
withFileTypes reports a symlinked key directory as a link and would have
silently dropped it. `throwIfNoEntry: false` fixes the dangling-symlink
throw and keeps following the good ones. Both cases now have a test.

Also deletes the three debug logs (encrypt.ts printed both key arrays,
decrypt.ts printed every candidate path from inside a filter).
