http_cred name cannot be empty

Error message

http_cred name cannot be empty

What it means

An http_cred was passed to `upsert` with an empty name. The name is the credential's lookup key, so an empty string cannot identify it; the guard fires before any encryption-at-rest or store write happens.

Solutions

1. Provide a non-empty credential name when creating/updating
2. Trim and validate the name at the call site before upsert
