//! Layer 1 — Secure Acquisition.
//!
//! The [`KeyFetch`] trait abstracts the source of raw key material. It is the
//! seam through which keys enter the vault: a TPM, an OS keychain, an encrypted
//! file, an environment variable, or a custom user-provided source.
//!
//! Implementations of [`KeyFetch`] are responsible for:
//!
//! - returning a redaction-clean [`Error`](crate::Error) on failure (no key bytes
//!   in error messages);
//! - performing acquisition synchronously — the vault treats fetch as a slow
//!   path and does not retry on its own;
//! - emitting audit events via the configured logging facility when applicable.
//!
//! The trait does **not** specify caching: fetchers are called exactly once per
//! key registration; the vault keeps the post-fragmentation representation in
//! memory after that. Re-acquiring a key is the caller's decision.
//!
//! Concrete implementations land in later phases. This module currently defines
//! only the trait surface, the [`FetchContext`] passed to it, and the
//! [`RawKey`] container that wraps the returned bytes.
