Explain S3 credential and project lifecycle behavior#110
Merged
Conversation
Adds a new section to storage/getting-started.md explaining that S3 credentials are issued per user while the S3 account itself is bound to the project, and walks through the practical consequences for user removal, project lifecycle, and credential rotation. Includes a recommendation to keep credentials personal rather than using a shared service-account key pair, with a short rotation-blast-radius rationale covering both for-cause termination and amicable departure. Also rewords the "Minimum required info for S3 access" paragraph to match the per-user model and removes the now-obsolete future-state note about personal S3 credentials.
