//! **Where the server's secrets live** — the SSH host key and the issuer
//! private key, in the control database beside the catalog and the identity
//! table.
//!
//! # Why they moved (the second half of the certificate-identity plan)
//!
//! On 2026-08-09 the catalog, the identity table and the issuer *certificate*
//! moved out of `control.git` and into `control.redb`. The secrets did not, and
//! `gunnar-server`'s `stores.rs` said why in as many words: it would have been
//! *"a second migration riding on the first"*. It also named the price it was
//! paying to defer them:
//!
//! > *"It does mean the control **repository** is still opened, and therefore
//! > still needs an installed storage engine — so it is opened **lazily**, on
//! > the first call to `ServerStores::secrets`."*
//!
//! That lazy open is gone, and with it the last reason a `gunnar-server`
//! process touches a storage engine in order to read its own host key. The
//! sentence *"the catalog and the identity table are reachable in a process
//! that carries no engine"* was true; **"the server is"** now is too.
//!
//! # What this module is NOT
//!
//! It is not crypto. [`crate::seal`] wraps the *value* — `SealedSecretStore` is
//! a decorator over [`SecretStore`], the KEK is a file beside the database, and
//! what reaches this module is already ciphertext. This module decides only
//! **where sealed bytes are kept**. Sealed bytes in, sealed bytes out.
//!
//! # The table, and the one byte in front of every value
//!
//! ```text
//!   secrets      key → tag ‖ value      tag 0x01 = a value, 0x00 = a tombstone
//! ```
//!
//! A tombstone rather than a removed row, because of the migration below: the
//! legacy Arrow log is only consulted when redb has **no row at all** for a
//! key, so a `delete` that removed the row would let the next `get` fall
//! through and resurrect the deleted secret out of the old file. A row that
//! says *"deleted"* cannot do that. It also happens to be the honest record —
//! the deletion is a fact, and one byte is what it costs to keep it.
//!
//! # What redb gives that the Arrow log had to build
//!
//! [`SecretStore::get_or_create`] must be atomic — *"the host key must never be
//! regenerated by a race"* — and the Arrow log achieved that by taking its
//! writer mutex **before** the existence check. Here the existence check and
//! the insert are the same redb write transaction, and redb serialises write
//! transactions internally. The atomicity is the store's, not a mutex this
//! module holds.
//!
//! # 🔴 What redb does NOT give, recorded as a fact rather than glossed
//!
//! `arrow_log.rs` compacts a *superseded* secret out of its file immediately,
//! and its comment says why: *"a rotated SSH host key must actually stop
//! existing"*. redb is a copy-on-write B-tree. An `insert` over an existing key
//! writes a new page and frees the old one; the freed page is reused by a later
//! write, but until it is, **the previous ciphertext is still bytes in
//! `control.redb`**.
//!
//! Two things bound that, and neither is an accident:
//!
//! * what is in those pages is **ciphertext**, because everything on the boot
//!   path goes through [`crate::SealedSecretStore`] and the KEK is a separate
//!   file (`secrets.kek`) that a database copy does not carry; and
//! * it is bounded by page reuse rather than by time — it is residue, not an
//!   archive: nothing indexes it and no read path can reach it.
//!
//! It is still a narrowing against the Arrow log's explicit fold, and a
//! `gunnar control gc` that called `redb::Database::compact` is where it would
//! be closed. **Not built here.** Named.
//!
//! # One process, one lock
//!
//! redb takes an exclusive file lock on `control.redb`, so a second gunnar
//! process on the same data root cannot open it. That was already true of the
//! catalog and the identity table, and it is what this change makes true of the
//! host key as well. The bound does not get *tighter*: the Arrow log took an
//! `O_EXCL` lock of its own on the same data root, so two servers already could
//! not share it. What changes is that the two locks become one.

///
/// * an appliance with a host key in the Arrow log boots, finds no redb row,

/// * a fresh installation has neither, mints once, and never grows an Arrow
///   log in the first place;
/// * a boot that is interrupted between reading the old value and committing
///   the new one has changed nothing, and the next boot repeats the adoption.
///
/// **The Arrow log is never written and never deleted by this type.** It stays
