//! # Data-at-Rest Encryption (Enterprise Security)
//!
//! Transparent AES-256-GCM-SIV encryption for data blocks, WAL entries,
//! and checkpoint files. Uses nonce-misuse-resistant authenticated encryption
//! to prevent catastrophic failures from nonce reuse.
//!
//! ## Design Choices
//!
//! - **AES-256-GCM-SIV**: Nonce-misuse resistant — safe even if nonces are
//!   accidentally repeated (unlike plain AES-GCM which is catastrophic).
//! - **Per-block random nonces**: 12-byte random nonce per encrypt operation.
//! - **Zero-copy where possible**: Encrypt in-place for WAL append path.
//! - **Key wrapping**: Data Encryption Key (DEK) is wrapped by a Key Encryption
//!   Key (KEK) loaded from Kubernetes Secrets or env vars.
//!
//! ## Wire Format
//!
//! ```text
//! [1 byte: version] [12 bytes: nonce] [N bytes: ciphertext+tag]
//! ```
//!
//! Version 1: AES-256-GCM-SIV with 12-byte nonce, 16-byte auth tag appended
//! to ciphertext by the AEAD.
//!
//! ## Performance Notes
//!
//! On x86_64 with AES-NI: ~4 GB/s encryption throughput (hardware-accelerated).
//! The overhead is negligible compared to disk I/O.
