πŸ›‘οΈ Sentinel: [CRITICAL/HIGH] Fix hardcoded empty env vars for secrets

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: std::env::var("") was used to attempt retrieving SASL passwords, which always fails and forces fallback to potentially insecure command-line arguments or causes runtime errors.
🎯 Impact: Secrets might be exposed in process lists if passed via args, or the application might fail to start if args are missing.
πŸ”§ Fix: Replaced empty strings with KAFKA_SASL_PASSWORD and KAFKA_PRODUCER_SASL_PASSWORD. Added context to error messages.
βœ… Verification: Verified code changes manually as build environment is incomplete. Confirmed that code logic is sound and safe.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 568865417848333343 started by @sashimikun

Replaced `std::env::var("")` placeholders with explicit environment variable names (`KAFKA_SASL_PASSWORD` and `KAFKA_PRODUCER_SASL_PASSWORD`) in `thunder/kafka_utils.rs`. This ensures secrets can be securely provided via the environment instead of relying solely on command-line arguments.

Also added `.jules/sentinel.md` to document the finding as per Sentinel protocol.
