rooms.rs

//! `pnm rooms …` — a member's surface on a data room.
//!
//! # Two parties, two transports, and why that is the whole design
//!
//! Every command here talks to **two** services, and never confuses them:
//!
//! - the operator's **VTA**, over the client's existing session, to mint a
//!   presentation ([`VtaClient::room_present`]) and to open a sealed record
//!   ([`VtaClient::room_open`]);
//! - the room's **host**, unauthenticated, carrying that presentation.
//!
//! The credentials the presentation is derived from, and the group key that
//! opens a record, stay inside the VTA. This CLI holds neither at any point,
//! which is what makes losing the laptop a smaller event than losing the agent.
//!
//! # Why a fresh presentation per call
//!
//! A presentation names *what may be done*, not who is doing it, and is bound
//! to the party that signed the request it rides. Caching one across commands
//! would mean either re-binding it (impossible without the VTA) or sending it
//! unbound (a bearer token). It is one extra local round-trip and it removes a
//! whole class of mistake, so every command mints its own.
//!
//! # What this surface deliberately does not do
//!
//! **Issue credentials.** Minting a VIC, VMC or VAC needs the *room's* signing
//! key, which is the owner's, not a member's — a different party with different
//! custody. It belongs in an owner surface and is deliberately absent here
//! rather than half-present.
