## Title

    [Helm] Secret stringData values are rendered without quotes

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [BUG] Helm Secret stringData values are rendered without quotes
    
    - [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/issues) and this bug has not been reported yet - [x] I am running the latest available version of TREK - [x] I have read the [Troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/liketrek/TREK/wiki/Troubleshooting) and my issue is not covered there
    
    When `generateEncryptionKey=true`, the chart writes values directly under Kubernetes `Secret.stringData` without `quote`. That means string values such as `"true"`, `"12345"`, or `"null"` can render as YAML booleans/numbers/null instead of strings. The `data` branch already quotes its base64-encoded values.
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub liketrek/TREK #2544
    
    ## Trigger / context
    Public GitHub report in liketrek/TREK (FRESH_7D).
