scrum: validate API key presence when enabling cloud provider

admin_save_config silently accepted enabled=True for any provider even
when no api_key was configured (neither in the request body, nor already
stored, nor available in the provider's env var). Result: /api/admin/config
returned 200, the provider was marked enabled in UI and config, then every
actual query to that provider 401'd at call time with an opaque error.

The fix: when the incoming patch sets enabled=True, compute the effective
key (request body preferred, falling back to stored config, falling back
to the provider's env var via get_api_key()) and reject with 400 if the
effective key is empty. Keeps all existing behavior for disabled providers
and for updates that don't touch enabled.

Surfaced by lakehouse scrum-master pipeline run 2026-04-24 (finding F5).
