    ///   plaintext, plus rich extras that can include
    ///   `MediaMetadata::encryption_key`/`iv`.
    /// - [`storage_keys::PENDING_DECRYPT_ENTRIES`]: inbound frames parked
    ///   before their session was ready. The body is MLS ciphertext, but the
    ///   envelope around it is not: sender, recipient, app id, metadata and
    ///   any outer `media_metadata` are in the clear, and a sealed record is
    ///   also the only thing stopping a container write from *substituting*
    ///   a frame — an AEAD makes an edited record unopenable, and unopenable
    ///   is dropped.
    /// - [`storage_keys::OUTBOX`]: the outgoing `Message` — ciphertext for
    ///   encrypted sends, but plaintext when the app opted out of encryption,
    ///   and its outer `media_metadata` carries the cloud-media secrets on the
    ///   forward path.
    /// - [`storage_keys::MEDIA_DESCRIPTORS`]: file names and recipients of
    ///   in-flight transfers.
    /// - [`storage_keys::PEER_KEY_PACKAGES`]: the odd one out, sealed for
    ///   **integrity** rather than confidentiality. The bytes are public wire
    ///   material and hiding them buys nothing; what matters is that a seal is
    ///   an AEAD, so a record that has been edited or moved between peers no
    ///   longer opens. Substituting a cached key package would otherwise be
    ///   enough to make this node build its session around the attacker's leaf.
    ///   `MlsManager::verify_address_binding` is the real fix and covers the
    ///   paths storage cannot see — it re-derives the address from the key
    ///   package's own signature key and refuses any package whose credential
    ///   does not match the peer id it arrived under, so a substituted package
    ///   fails wherever it is read from. This shortens the reach of a container
    ///   write as well. Failing closed is cheap here: an unsealable key package
    ///   costs one re-exchange.
    /// - [`storage_keys::NOSTR_KEY_PACKAGE_SLOTS`]: the second integrity case,
    ///   for the same reason and not for confidentiality — slot ids and package
    ///   ids are already public in the published record itself. What sealing
    ///   buys is that the *silent* failure becomes unreachable. Deleting this
    ///   map self-heals (the next tick mints fresh slots), and pointing it at a
    ///   package id that does not exist self-heals too (a missing package reads
    ///   as consumed and is refilled). The one damaging edit is repointing a
    ///   slot at some *other* live package, which leaves a stale record standing
    ///   on the relays while this node believes the slot is healthy — and every
    ///   stranger who fetches it builds a Welcome that can never be processed.
    ///   An AEAD makes that edit unopenable, and unopenable lands on the
    ///   self-healing path.
    /// - [`storage_keys::NOSTR_DISCOVERY_CLAIM`]: the third integrity case, and
    ///   again not for confidentiality — the value is a username this install
    ///   already published in a public directory. What sealing buys is that the
    ///   damaging edit is unreachable. This record is the *only* thing that
    ///   knows which name to retract, so an attacker who rewrites it to a name
    ///   this install never claimed makes the real claim unretractable: the
    ///   retraction is published at the wrong tag, and the live one stands
    ///   pointing at this address forever. Deleting the record instead is the
    ///   benign direction and is not prevented (nothing sealing does can),
    ///   which is why the claim is also republished on every launch.
    /// - [`storage_keys::DEDUP_SEEN_IDS`]: sealed for the confidentiality of
    ///   timing rather than content. The record holds up to 2000 inbound
    ///   message ids, each with the millisecond it arrived, for a day. The wire
    ///   shows each id in transit; at rest the record is a day-long timeline of
    ///   when this install received messages, and the threat model lists
    ///   delivery metadata as an asset. Failing closed is cheap: with the key
    ///   unavailable the set is not written, and the next launch starts it
    ///   empty, which costs only the restart-time dedup the record provides.
    ///
    /// Everything else is advertised capability versions, a small state enum, a
    /// logical clock, a coarse wall-clock mark, or a value-less marker whose
    /// only information is the key id — which sealing cannot hide anyway,
    /// because the store addresses records by it.
    ///
    /// [`storage_keys::NOSTR_WATERMARK`] is in that second group: it is one
    /// unix-seconds timestamp saying roughly when this install last received a
    /// relay event. That is strictly less than the key id already tells a
    /// reader with container access, and the record's *integrity* buys nothing
    /// either — the value is clamped to "not in the future" on the way back in,
    /// and moving it backwards only widens a replay window that
    /// `NOSTR_INITIAL_QUERY_LIMIT` already bounds.
    ///
    /// Note what sealing does **not** provide, for any category: it authenticates

///
/// - Most **restores** simply *ignore* it — they do not delete it. A later

///   three built-in providers return their keys sorted, so the walked prefix is
///   deterministic. It drains because the prefix is **consumed** — restored
///   entries are flushed, expired, or evicted for capacity, and their records
///   deleted — so each launch lists fewer keys and the walk reaches further.
///   The categories restore never consumes ([`storage_keys::BLOCKED_USERS`],
///   [`storage_keys::BOTH_CREATE_AWAITING_DECRYPT`],
///   [`storage_keys::WELCOME_LIFECYCLES`]) therefore keep the *same* tail on
///   every launch, indefinitely. That is tolerable only because this bound sits
///   far above anything this SDK can legitimately write, so reaching it already
///   means the store was tampered with — do not carry the "a later launch gets
///   the rest" argument over to a tighter bound.
/// - The two **cache** categories (`restore_peer_key_packages`,
///   `restore_peer_capabilities`) prune the overflow *inside* the prefix down
///   to their own much smaller live caps. Losing a cached key package or
///   capability record only costs a recoverable re-exchange, which is what
///   makes deleting the overflow the right policy there. How much they prune
///   per launch is bounded separately by [`MAX_RESTORE_PRUNE_DELETES`],
///   because this bound limits *reads* and a prune is a synchronous provider
///   delete — so the store shrinks by that budget per launch and the tail

///
/// # The bound is on the launch, so the allowance is a pool
///
/// The hazard above is a property of the whole `initialize_mls` call, not of
/// any one walk in it. An earlier spelling gave *each* walk a private
/// allowance of this size, so six walks cost six times the bound while every
/// one of them truthfully reported staying inside it — the same failure this
/// constant exists to prevent, one level up. Walks therefore draw from a
/// [`PruneAllowance`] pool, and the launch ceiling is the sum of the pools
/// rather than the sum of the walks.
///
/// # Two ways to spend it, because two kinds of walk owe the application
/// different things
///
/// A **cache or advisory** walk ([`PruneAllowance::refusing`]) may simply
/// refuse a delete once its share is gone: dropping a session-state record, a
/// cached key package, a capability record, a Welcome lifecycle, or a media
/// descriptor costs a recoverable re-exchange or a re-bootstrap, so the record
/// is left on disk and nothing is owed to anyone. All [`ADVISORY_PRUNE_WALKS`]
/// of them therefore share **one** pool, created by `initialize_mls` and
/// threaded through them, so their deletes add up against a single allowance.
///
/// Sharing a pool is not the same as sharing it *fairly*, and the difference
/// matters because the walks draw in a fixed order. Each therefore leaves the
/// walks after it a [`MIN_ADVISORY_PRUNE_DELETES`] floor rather than being free
/// to empty the pool — without which the first walk alone could starve the rest
/// on every launch. Being *starved* is not the same as being *deferred*: a
/// deferred record is re-walked next launch, while a walk that never draws
/// again defers nothing, and these prunes are the only thing that ever deletes
/// those records. Within that floor the allowance stays elastic: a walk may
/// take everything except what it owes the ones still to come, so a launch with
/// clean early categories still lets a later one draw deeply.
///
/// A **settlement-paired** walk ([`PruneAllowance::counting`]) cannot refuse.
/// Refusing an individual delete there would either settle an id whose record a
/// later launch restores and re-drives — the exact contradiction
/// [`StateRecord`] exists to prevent — or drop an entry from memory while
/// leaving the app holding an id nothing resolves. So it *counts* what it
/// spends, never refuses a delete mid-record, and stops at the next **record
/// boundary**, where stopping is safe because the untouched remainder is
/// exactly what a later launch reads.
/// Both [`OfflineProtocol::restore_pending_messages`] and
/// [`OfflineProtocol::restore_outbox`] spend it that way, and neither needs to
/// freeze the tail it stops at: both categories are keyed per message id, so a
/// later write only ever touches a different key. The pending walk did need a
/// freeze while its records were keyed per recipient and held a whole queue —
/// see [`MAX_PENDING_RESTORE_ENTRIES`].
///
/// The two settlement-paired walks get a pool **each**, rather than sharing the
/// advisory one. Starving an advisory walk defers a cache eviction; starving
/// the outbox walk defers *delivery* of every message the app is still holding
/// a live id for, and starving the pending walk defers every diagnostic it
/// owes. Neither may be held hostage to a key-package flood.
///
/// The inbound walks get a fourth pool for the same reason:
/// [`OfflineProtocol::restore_pending_decrypt_entries`] holds ciphertext the
/// app is told about when it is lost, and [`OfflineProtocol::restore_dedup_seen`]
/// shares the pool after it for its one possible delete. Both refuse rather
/// than count, since every delete they make is advisory. The pending-decryption
/// walk reports a drop only together with its delete, so a refusal defers both
/// halves to a later launch at once.
///
/// # The derived launch ceiling
///
/// Four pools, so `4 × MAX_RESTORE_PRUNE_DELETES` is the whole launch's
/// allowance. All four are constructed side by side by `initialize_mls` — see
/// [`PruneAllowance::pool`] for why none of them may be allocated inside the
/// walk that spends it — and
/// `test_one_launch_cannot_exceed_the_derived_restore_delete_ceiling` pins the
/// total against a provider that counts deletes, which is the invariant a
/// per-walk regression breaks and a per-pool test does not see.
///
/// The ceiling covers every durable delete on the path, not only the ones a
/// walk issues while it reads. [`OfflineProtocol::restore_outbox`]'s two
/// post-walk prunes — the absolute-lifetime drop and the capacity drain — act
/// on entries the walk already *admitted*, so a store whose records all open
/// cleanly reaches them with the pool untouched and its working set bounded
/// only by [`OUTBOX_RESTORE_KEY_CAP`]. Left ungated they cost up to
/// `OUTBOX_RESTORE_KEY_CAP - MAX_OUTBOX_ENTRIES` deletes in one launch — the
/// ordinary over-capacity case rather than the tampered one, and the figure
/// that walk's original budget exemption was argued from. Both are
/// settlement-paired, so neither may refuse an individual delete; both stop
/// *between* entries instead, and an entry the pool cannot fund is dropped from
/// memory and left on disk **unsettled**, so a later launch owns both halves.
/// `test_outbox_capacity_prune_stays_inside_the_launch_budget` and
/// `test_outbox_absolute_expiry_prune_stays_inside_the_launch_budget` pin them.
///
/// Two caveats remain, because neither can be budgeted away.
///
/// A settlement-paired walk stops *between* records, so the record it is
/// already inside may push a little past its pool.
///
/// And the ceiling is over the restore walks, not over every durable delete
/// `initialize_mls` can cause. `adopt_legacy_protocol_state` runs before them
/// and deletes from the *secure* store as it moves each record across, bounded
/// by its own truncated-and-resumable pass rather than by this constant. It is

    /// `encryption_key`/`iv`) — the very values the split exists to seal.
    ///
    /// This is a bulk move rather than the read-through
    /// [`crate::MlsStorage`] adoption used for MLS material, because
    /// [`storage_keys::ADOPTABLE_STATE_KEY_TYPES`] is a *closed* set: the SDK
    /// declares every protocol-state category itself, where OpenMLS contributes
    /// arbitrary labels to the MLS keyspace. Enumeration therefore terminates,
    /// which read-through can never guarantee.
    ///
    /// **This sweep depends on that other adoption.** On a pre-upgrade install
    /// the records it is looking for sit in the *un-namespaced* credential
    /// store, and the handle it enumerates is the namespaced one — so the only
    /// reason `secure.list_keys` and `secure.load` reach them at all is that
    /// the built-in providers union in, and read through to, the legacy store
    /// (`MlsSecureStorage` / `SecureStorage`, see `LegacyStoreAdoption`). Two
    /// independently-designed mechanisms, one silently load-bearing for the
    /// other: a provider built without a namespace has no read-through, so this
    /// sweep finds nothing and the pre-split state stays where it is. Python
    /// warns about exactly that case at construction.
    ///
    /// Properties worth keeping if this is ever touched:
    ///
    /// - **Resumable.** Each record is deleted from secure storage only once it
    ///   is durably written to protocol-state storage, so a crash mid-sweep
    ///   leaves the remainder to be re-adopted next launch.
    /// - **Non-destructive.** A key already present in protocol-state storage
    ///   wins and its legacy twin is left alone. Post-split state is always
    ///   authoritative, and — since one backend may legitimately serve both
    ///   handles in tests — a blind copy-then-delete could otherwise delete a
    ///   record through the same store it just read it from.
    /// - **All-or-nothing marker.** The marker is written only when the sweep
    ///   completed without a storage error, so a transiently unavailable
    ///   credential store means "try again next launch", not "give up forever".
    /// - **Sealing applies.** Records are written through
    ///   [`Self::write_state_record`], so categories that require sealing are
    ///   sealed on the way in and the legacy plaintext is then deleted.
    /// - **Nothing app-visible vanishes quietly.** A legacy record too large to
    ///   have any reachable destination is settled before it is deleted, the
    ///   same way [`Self::restore_outbox`] settles one it cannot recover. This
    ///   is not hypothetical: the pre-split build had neither a content cap nor
    ///   a per-peer byte budget, only 64 entries per peer, so the installs this

    ///   window once a carrier reappears (mirrors the Welcome lifecycle
