# @suaveplan/vault - Vault orchestration layer for the Vaulted password-manager ecosystem: drive-backed encrypted SQLite container, lifecycle state machine (open → unlock → lock), per-item field encryption, attachments / shares / sync delegation, and OpaqueKeyHandle boundary enforcement.

## Summary

Vault orchestration layer for the Vaulted password-manager ecosystem. Provides a drive-backed encrypted SQLite-style container, a strict `locked` ↔ `unlocked` lifecycle state machine, per-item field encryption for concealed values, attachment / share / sync delegation behind injectable adapter interfaces, and `OpaqueKeyHandle` boundary enforcement so raw key bytes never leave `@suaveplan/crypto-vault`.

## Install

```bash
bun add @suaveplan/vault
```

## Quick start

```ts
import { Vault } from "@suaveplan/vault";

const vault = Vault.open({
    vaultId: "personal",
    email: "user@example.com",
    containerPath: "/personal.vault",
    attachmentsPrefix: "/personal/attachments",
    argon2id: { memoryKB: 65536, iterations: 3, parallelism: 4, outputLength: 32 },
    argon2idSalt: argon2idSaltBytes,
    drive,
    driveSharing,
    sync,
});

await vault.unlock(password, secretKey);

const item = vault.items.create({
    title: "GitHub",
    category: "login",
    fields: { username: "alice", url: "https://github.com" },
    concealedFields: { password: "p@ssw0rd" },
    tags: ["work"],
    favorite: true,
});

const fetched = vault.items.get(item.id);
const matches = vault.search.search({ query: "github", category: "login" });

await vault.lock(); // zeroizes all key material
```

## Modules

- [`vault/vault`](./src/vault/vault.md) — orchestration entry point, lifecycle state machine.
- [`vault/lifecycle`](./src/vault/lifecycle.md) — 2SKD + key-hierarchy + drive load/create helpers.
- [`vault/wiring`](./src/vault/wiring.md) — module factory helpers.
- [`manifest/manifest`](./src/manifest/manifest.md) — bitpacker-packed container manifest header.
- [`container/container`](./src/container/container.md) — drive-backed encrypted blob layer.
- [`items/items`](./src/items/items.md) — in-memory items repository.
- [`items/helpers`](./src/items/helpers.md) — pure row projection / patch helpers.
- [`items/migrations/migrations`](./src/items/migrations/migrations.md) — forward-only schema migrations.
- [`encryption/field-encryption`](./src/encryption/field-encryption.md) — per-item field encryption.
- [`search/search`](./src/search/search.md) — concealed-field-safe search.
- [`attachments/attachments`](./src/attachments/attachments.md) — drive-backed attachment storage.
- [`shares/shares`](./src/shares/shares.md) — share-link orchestration.
- [`sync/sync`](./src/sync/sync.md) — sync delegation orchestrator.
- [`errors/codes`](./src/errors/codes.md) — stable `VAULT.*` error code registry.
- [`errors/vault-error`](./src/errors/vault-error.md) — `VaultError` class.
- [`otel/instruments`](./src/otel/instruments.md) — OTel histogram + counter instruments.
- [`schemas/schemas`](./src/schemas/schemas.md) — Zod schemas for every public boundary.
- [`types/types`](./src/types/types.md) — orchestration-level types.
- [`types/adapters`](./src/types/adapters.md) — Phase-1 adapter interfaces (DriveLike / DriveSharingLike / VaultSyncLike).

## Security model

- **2SKD**: `Argon2id(HMAC-SHA256(secretKey, password ‖ 0x00 ‖ email), salt, params)` produces the AUK, which is HKDF-derived through `personal-keyset → vault-key → item-key`. Intermediate buffers are zeroized eagerly.
- **OpaqueKeyHandle boundary**: the vault key is wrapped in a `SecureBuffer` and accessed only through `@suaveplan/crypto-vault`'s `unwrap` — never as raw bytes across module boundaries.
- **Defence in depth**: even if the drive-level AEAD is compromised, concealed fields (passwords, PINs, secure notes) remain encrypted with per-item keys inside the SQLite-style container.
- **Manifest binding**: the bitpacker-packed manifest header is bound as AAD to the container's AEAD, so any tampering invalidates the authentication tag.
- **`zeroizeAll()` on lock**: every live `SecureBuffer` is overwritten with zeros and the references released.

## Performance

- Unlock is dominated by Argon2id (≥ 64 MiB / 3 iterations / parallelism configurable). Default parameters ship at OWASP minimums.
- Items, search, attachments, and share operations are all in-memory after unlock; flushes are debounced (default 500 ms; configurable via `flushDebounceMs`).
- Drive I/O happens twice per unlock at most: once on read, once for the freshly-encrypted blob if creating a new vault. Ongoing operations only touch drive on flush + lock.

## Phased delivery

This is the Phase-1 landing. Adapter interfaces (`DriveLike`, `DriveSharingLike`, `VaultSyncLike`) are defined inline; production wiring binds the real `@suaveplan/drive`, `@suaveplan/drive-sharing`, and `@suaveplan/vault-sync` packages without changes to this surface.
