SETUP.local.md.example is a fill-in-the-blanks runbook for rolling
keep out across real machines and projects (gitignored once copied to
SETUP.local.md — real vault keys/recipient ids/hostnames are fleet
topology, not something to commit). bootstrap-project.sh wraps push +
grant --read-only for one or more recipients into a single call for
onboarding a new project vault.

Server: Express + better-sqlite3 (WAL), multi-recipient key-wrapping
per IMPLEMENTATION.md's design — vaults/recipients/vault_grants/
access_log. Two auth paths: ADMIN_PASSWORD header for recipient
management and revoke (pure metadata operations), signed-request
auth (Ed25519 signature over method+path+timestamp+body-hash) for
push/pull/grant, mirroring the spirit of this project family's other
signed-handshake patterns without naming them.
CLI: identity init/show/set-id, push/pull/grant/log, admin recipient
add/list/remove and revoke. Grant is a client-side crypto operation
(the granter unwraps the vault's current key locally and reseals it
for the new recipient) rather than a server-side operation, since the
server never holds an unwrapped key to grant with.
Verified end-to-end with two independent local identities against a
live server and separately against the built Docker image: register,
push, pull (granted and ungranted), grant without re-pushing, admin
revoke, a subsequent rotation confirming the revoked recipient stays
excluded, and rejection of missing/malformed signed-request auth.
Two real bugs caught during verification, not just written up:
- libsodium-wrappers' published ESM build does a relative import only
resolvable under bundler-style resolution — broken under plain Node
ESM. Fixed via createRequire to force the CJS build.
- Express's req.path inside a sub-router is relative to the mount
point, which would have silently mismatched a client signing the
full request path. Fixed by verifying against req.originalUrl.
