Slavi PantaleevandClaude Opus 5 fe2fa6eaca Don't reset Hookshot's crypto store on a run that selects no tags ...

`tasks/main.yml` opens with a block tagged `reset-hookshot-encryption`, and
Ansible runs tagged tasks unless tags are actually selected. A run that selects
no tags therefore reaches `tasks/reset_encryption.yml`: on a host where the
service does not exist yet it fails outright, and on one where it does it stops
the bridge and resets its crypto store without being asked to.

Users of the playbook are shielded from this only because the documented way to
run it always passes `--tags=setup-all,start`.

Adding `never` makes the block reachable only when its tag is explicitly
selected, which is what `--tags=reset-hookshot-encryption` in
docs/configuring-playbook-bridge-hookshot.md already does - that keeps working
unchanged, as selecting a tag by name overrides `never`.

The Molecule scenario no longer needs its `skip-tags` workaround, which is what
makes this verifiable: the scenario runs with no tags selected, and is green
with the workaround gone.
