Description
Per recent questions and discussions, I got the impression it might be useful to implement a password recovery mechanism for dataverseAdmin and API unblock-key.
My idea is easy:
Provide a config option (JVM option/MPCONFIG) to point to a file on disk, containing a new secret.
During deployment, if the file exists and is readable by the appserver, the secrets would be updated in the database.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the deployment configuration, JVM option/MPCONFIG handling, and database paths for dataverseAdmin and API unblock-key secrets. Define the recovery flow, secret-file permissions and update behavior, then identify the tests needed to verify deployment-time updates and failure cases.
