Summary

This PR enhances admin authentication by allowing the ADMINS environment variable to accept both hex and npub (bech32) public key formats, as well as nsec (private key, deriving the pubkey). Previously, only hex keys were supported, which could lead to silent admin access failures if an npub was used.

Changes

  • Normalize all ADMINS entries to hex, supporting hex, npub, and nsec formats.
  • Update .env.template and backend documentation to clarify accepted formats.
  • No breaking changes for existing hex-based setups.

Closes #3

Let's not do this, postell's law doesn't apply here. If someone is going to run caravel, they are competent to use hex pubkeys.
