Enum Level 

pub enum Level {
    Classic,
    QuantumSafe,
}

How the key ring is wrapped: chosen per repository, in the members file.

A new repository is quantum-safe (Level::NEW, owner 2026-10-30, CRYPT-PQ-DEFAULT), and so is a new person’s key. A members file WITHOUT a level line is classic (Level::UNSTATED): an existing repository keeps its level, and nothing is migrated. Level::default() is Level::NEW.

Variants

Classic

Wrapped to members’ X25519 (age1…) encryption keys: a ring harvested today opens once a quantum computer breaks X25519. The visible opt-out (gunnar crypt init --level classic) for members whose one key is classic.

QuantumSafe

Wrapped ONLY to age’s hybrid ML-KEM-768 + X25519 recipients (age1pq1…): no stanza a quantum computer could open. The default.

Implementations

impl Level

pub const NEW: Level = Level::QuantumSafe

The level of a new repository and of a new person’s key, unless asked otherwise: quantum-safe (owner 2026-10-30, CRYPT-PQ-DEFAULT). The CLI (gunnar crypt init, gunnar crypt key new) and the console read it here, so the default lives in one place.

pub const UNSTATED: Level = Level::Classic

The level of a members file without a level line: classic, as every file was before the line existed. An existing repository keeps its level.

pub fn word(self) -> &'static str

The word in the members file (level quantum-safe).

pub fn takes(self, kind: KeyKind) -> bool

Does a key of kind belong in a ring of this level?

pub fn stanza_types(self) -> &'static [&'static str]

The age stanza types a key file of this level may carry (besides the one random …-grease stanza age adds to every file).
