Add secure dashboard-managed SSH public-key access

Replace server-generated key escrow with public-key-only enable/disable
tasks. Validate ED25519 keys, atomically reconcile one marked
authorized_keys entry, preserve operator keys, and never handle
private keys. Return real task errors and add lifecycle tests.

+# Changelog
+
+## [1.4.0] - 23-09-2026
+
+* Added dashboard-managed SSH public-key access.
+* Validates ED25519 public keys and reports their SHA256 fingerprints.
+* Atomically installs or removes only the marked Edgebox key while preserving all other authorized keys.
+* Never generates, reads, stores, logs, or returns SSH private keys.
+
+## [1.3.2] - 08-12-2024
+
+* Fix to Browser Dev feature:
+    * Checking browser dev url when internet_accessible was checking the incorrect path. This is now fixed.
+
+## [1.3.1] - 08-12-2024
+
+* Fixes to Browser Dev feature:
+    * Now edgeboxctl also fetches or generates the browser dev environment url and saves it into an option both when starting, and every time the browser dev status is fetched.
+
+## [1.3.0] - 05-12-2024
+
+* Added Edgebox Browser Development Environment Feature Support
+    * Added tasks for handling browser development environment into tasks.go
+    * Added executable tasks to ExecuteTask and scheduled ones to ExecuteSchedules
+* Other bug fixes and improvements.
+
