Provision a principal, actor, and first public key
Atomically creates the minimum durable identity records required for public-key authentication. The authenticated actor must be explicitly listed in AMBIENT_OPERATOR_ACTORS. This is trusted provisioning, not a public registration endpoint. Creating distinct principal and actor IDs does not grant authority between them.
