//! Admin-locked, password-protected, encrypted settings (the crypto core).
//!
//! A sysadmin provisions a machine with an admin password and a set of *locked*
//! settings (recording on/off, autostart, "password required to stop", …). The
//! settings are sealed at rest so a non-privileged user — or an AI agent running
//! as that user — can neither read nor forge them, and privileged operations
//! (stop, change-password, disable-recording) require proving knowledge of the
//! password.
//!
//! This module is the crypto + storage core only; the daemon-side auth handshake
//! and the "password to stop" enforcement live separately (they consume these
//! primitives). Design decisions follow the security review:
//!   - **Domain separation**: the password *verifier* and the *sealing key* are
//!     independent argon2id derivations (different random salts), so the stored
//!     verifier is never the encryption key.
//!   - **Pinned, versioned KDF**: argon2id parameters are stored with the vault
//!     and carry a version, so they can be raised later without breaking old files.
//!   - **AEAD discipline**: XChaCha20-Poly1305 with a *random 192-bit nonce per
//!     seal* (XChaCha's large nonce makes random nonces safe), and the AAD binds
//!     the version + salt + a context label so a blob can't be repurposed.
//!   - **Recovery**: a one-time random recovery key wraps the sealing key in its
//!     own AEAD slot, so a lost password is recoverable without any Kintsugi-held
//!     escrow (nothing leaves the machine). Possession of the recovery key is a
//!     second root credential — documented, not hidden.
//!   - **Zeroization**: derived key material is wiped from memory after use.
//!
//! Honest scope: this protects against a non-root user / agent and a disk thief
//! (argon2id at rest). It does **not** stop a root user — see the threat model in
//! the design doc. The caller must keep the failure mode fail-*closed-on-lock*:
//! if the vault can't be read, refuse privileged ops; never silently unlock.
