//! Resolving the field-encryption declaration into keys, at `open()`.
//!
//! The configuration names columns and **environment variables**; it never
//! holds key material. This is the only place in the tree that reads a
//! field-encryption key — a key written beside the data would add nothing
//! over full-disk encryption, whose key is on the machine too.
//!
//! **Fail closed, at startup.** Every declared key must resolve when the
//! database opens, including one no column currently names: that is what a
//! half-finished rotation looks like, and the segments written under it are
//! unreadable without it. A missing variable, a value that is not base64, or
//! one that is not exactly 32 bytes is a startup error naming the
//! **variable**, never the value.
