Description

Follow-up to #1865 and this review comment.

We should let Docker Compose use the runtime OpenAPI configuration and normal redirect-based login instead of the hard-coded direct-grant user. For standalone ./gradlew run, add a simple API-key path for cases where Keycloak is not available.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Docker Compose authentication setup and the standalone ./gradlew run entry point, including how runtime OpenAPI configuration and the current direct-grant user are wired. Done means Compose uses redirect-based login with runtime configuration, while standalone runs have an API-key path when Keycloak is unavailable; add or update focused tests if the existing authentication test locations reveal them.
