Restrict permission branch to real permission-denied errors
This condition matches any cmd.Run() error containing the substring permission, which can come from the command path itself (for example, fork/exec /opt/permission-helper: no such file or directory). In that case we now rewrite unrelated failures as permission denied, hiding the true cause and steering users to the wrong fix. Please match only concrete permission-denied patterns (e.g., permission denied/operation not permitted) instead of the broad permission substring.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Match only permission denied, operation not permitted, and access is denied instead of any error containing permission, to avoid false positives.

Explanation
Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%
Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:
- ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
- ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
- ➖ = no significant change in performance
A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".
For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:
-
Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.
-
Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.
-
Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

What does this PR do?
Improves error messages for secrets management so they are clearer and more actionable. Changes include:
All secrets-related errors now include a link to the secrets management docs.
Motivation
Customers often see unclear secrets errors, especially around v0→v1 migration, which leads to more support tickets. Clearer, actionable messages should help users self-serve and reduce support load.
Describe how you validated your changes
Updated unit tests in comp/core/secrets/impl/fetch_secret_test.go to match the new messages.
Ran dda inv test --targets=./comp/core/secrets/impl — all 87 tests passed.
