+# `bin/create-root-keys-chain`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Commander entry point for the `create-root-keys-chain` operator command. Parses CLI
+flags, prompts for any required passwords via `@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt`,
+and dispatches to the matching function in
+`@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/`. The body runs inside
+`runFunction("create-root-keys-chain", ...)` so OTel emission, structured stderr
+banners, and `exit(1)` on failure are all handled by the shared
+wrapper instead of being re-implemented per bin.
+
+This file is a thin wrapper — operator-facing behaviour lives in the
+`commands/` module the bin imports. The bin's only responsibilities
+are flag parsing, password prompting, and exit-code threading; the
+spec compliance, error handling, and OTel emission all come from the
+shared wrapper layer.
+
+## Features
+
+- `commander` flag parsing with `-h/--help` for every sub-command.
+- Password prompts via `@inquirer/prompts` (echo-disabled).
+- OTel command-total + duration histogram per invocation.
+- Structured `SERVER_KEYS_*` error banners on failure.
+- `process.exit(1)` on any thrown failure, after the banner.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```bash
+create-root-keys-chain --help
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Run the bin from a shell with a non-TTY `stdin` (e.g. via process
+substitution) to script multiple operations:
+
+```bash
+echo "mypassword" | create-root-keys-chain [flags...]
+```
+
+When invoked under a `SIGINT`-trapping shell, the bin honours the
+shared `AbortController` plumbed through `runFunction`.
+
+## API Reference
+
+This bin exposes its surface via `commander` flags only. Run
+`create-root-keys-chain --help` for the authoritative list. The library-level surface
+the bin wraps is documented under the matching `commands/` module.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The bin imports its target command lazily where possible to keep `bun
+link` cold-start time short. Every prompt accepts `{ inputStream,
+outputStream, signal }` via `PromptOptions` so tests can drive the
+bin without a real TTY; in production the defaults resolve to
+`process.stdin` / `process.stdout`.

+# `bin/license`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Commander entry point for the `license` operator command. Parses CLI
+flags, prompts for any required passwords via `@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt`,
+and dispatches to the matching function in
+`@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/`. The body runs inside
+`runFunction("license", ...)` so OTel emission, structured stderr
+banners, and `exit(1)` on failure are all handled by the shared
+wrapper instead of being re-implemented per bin.
+
+This file is a thin wrapper — operator-facing behaviour lives in the
+`commands/` module the bin imports. The bin's only responsibilities
+are flag parsing, password prompting, and exit-code threading; the
+spec compliance, error handling, and OTel emission all come from the
+shared wrapper layer.
+
+## Features
+
+- `commander` flag parsing with `-h/--help` for every sub-command.
+- Password prompts via `@inquirer/prompts` (echo-disabled).
+- OTel command-total + duration histogram per invocation.
+- Structured `SERVER_KEYS_*` error banners on failure.
+- `process.exit(1)` on any thrown failure, after the banner.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```bash
+license --help
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Run the bin from a shell with a non-TTY `stdin` (e.g. via process
+substitution) to script multiple operations:
+
+```bash
+echo "mypassword" | license [flags...]
+```
+
+When invoked under a `SIGINT`-trapping shell, the bin honours the
+shared `AbortController` plumbed through `runFunction`.
+
+## API Reference
+
+This bin exposes its surface via `commander` flags only. Run
+`license --help` for the authoritative list. The library-level surface
+the bin wraps is documented under the matching `commands/` module.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The bin imports its target command lazily where possible to keep `bun
+link` cold-start time short. Every prompt accepts `{ inputStream,
+outputStream, signal }` via `PromptOptions` so tests can drive the
+bin without a real TTY; in production the defaults resolve to
+`process.stdin` / `process.stdout`.

+# `bin/serve-file`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Commander entry point for the `serve-file` operator command. Parses CLI
+flags, prompts for any required passwords via `@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt`,
+and dispatches to the matching function in
+`@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/`. The body runs inside
+`runFunction("serve-file", ...)` so OTel emission, structured stderr
+banners, and `exit(1)` on failure are all handled by the shared
+wrapper instead of being re-implemented per bin.
+
+This file is a thin wrapper — operator-facing behaviour lives in the
+`commands/` module the bin imports. The bin's only responsibilities
+are flag parsing, password prompting, and exit-code threading; the
+spec compliance, error handling, and OTel emission all come from the
+shared wrapper layer.
+
+## Features
+
+- `commander` flag parsing with `-h/--help` for every sub-command.
+- Password prompts via `@inquirer/prompts` (echo-disabled).
+- OTel command-total + duration histogram per invocation.
+- Structured `SERVER_KEYS_*` error banners on failure.
+- `process.exit(1)` on any thrown failure, after the banner.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```bash
+serve-file --help
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Run the bin from a shell with a non-TTY `stdin` (e.g. via process
+substitution) to script multiple operations:
+
+```bash
+echo "mypassword" | serve-file [flags...]
+```
+
+When invoked under a `SIGINT`-trapping shell, the bin honours the
+shared `AbortController` plumbed through `runFunction`.
+
+## API Reference
+
+This bin exposes its surface via `commander` flags only. Run
+`serve-file --help` for the authoritative list. The library-level surface
+the bin wraps is documented under the matching `commands/` module.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The bin imports its target command lazily where possible to keep `bun
+link` cold-start time short. Every prompt accepts `{ inputStream,
+outputStream, signal }` via `PromptOptions` so tests can drive the
+bin without a real TTY; in production the defaults resolve to
+`process.stdin` / `process.stdout`.

+# `bin/view-vault`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Commander entry point for the `view-vault` operator command. Parses CLI
+flags, prompts for any required passwords via `@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt`,
+and dispatches to the matching function in
+`@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/`. The body runs inside
+`runFunction("view-vault", ...)` so OTel emission, structured stderr
+banners, and `exit(1)` on failure are all handled by the shared
+wrapper instead of being re-implemented per bin.
+
+This file is a thin wrapper — operator-facing behaviour lives in the
+`commands/` module the bin imports. The bin's only responsibilities
+are flag parsing, password prompting, and exit-code threading; the
+spec compliance, error handling, and OTel emission all come from the
+shared wrapper layer.
+
+## Features
+
+- `commander` flag parsing with `-h/--help` for every sub-command.
+- Password prompts via `@inquirer/prompts` (echo-disabled).
+- OTel command-total + duration histogram per invocation.
+- Structured `SERVER_KEYS_*` error banners on failure.
+- `process.exit(1)` on any thrown failure, after the banner.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```bash
+view-vault --help
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Run the bin from a shell with a non-TTY `stdin` (e.g. via process
+substitution) to script multiple operations:
+
+```bash
+echo "mypassword" | view-vault [flags...]
+```
+
+When invoked under a `SIGINT`-trapping shell, the bin honours the
+shared `AbortController` plumbed through `runFunction`.
+
+## API Reference
+
+This bin exposes its surface via `commander` flags only. Run
+`view-vault --help` for the authoritative list. The library-level surface
+the bin wraps is documented under the matching `commands/` module.

+link` cold-start time short. Every prompt accepts `{ inputStream,
+outputStream, signal }` via `PromptOptions` so tests can drive the

+`process.stdin` / `process.stdout`.

+# `commands/files/files`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Local-packer file-transport commands: `prepareFileCommand`,
+`validateFileCommand`, `getFileStatsCommand`, `validatePacketCommand`.
+These four functions implement the operator-facing surface every file-
+transport bin in `@suaveplan/server-keys` calls into. Reconstruction
+lives in the sibling `serve-file.ts`. The implementation is fully local —
+no HTTP, no remote file server — backed by `@suaveplan/packer`'s
+whole-file `Packer` / `Unpacker` and plain Node `fs`.
+
+The choice of a local packer (rather than an HTTP client to a remote
+file-server, which the upstream package shipped) was made deliberately:
+the upstream HTTP design forces operators to stand up a separate
+file-server before they can prepare or serve a file, and the binary
+contract is dominated by the packet wire format anyway. Owning the
+format here keeps the suaveplan test surface auditable without a network
+hop and removes a non-trivial deployment dependency.
+
+## Features
+
+- Fixed-size packetisation (`packetSize`, default 1 MiB) with a JSON
+  envelope per packet on disk.
+- ed25519 signature per packet using the vault's `sign` slot secret;
+  recipient verifies against the manifest's `signerPublicKey`.
+- Manifest is a single JSON document that lists every packet's
+  `index`, `checksum`, `filename`, and `originalSize`.
+- Cooperative abort at every packet boundary via `options.signal`.
+- Typed `ServerKeysError` for every failure (`INVALID_INPUT`,
+  `VAULT_DECRYPT_FAILED`, `PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED`, `FILE_NOT_FOUND`,
+  `ABORTED`).
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    prepareFileCommand,
+    validateFileCommand,
+    getFileStatsCommand,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/files";
+
+const stats = await getFileStatsCommand("/tmp/data.bin", {
+    packetSize: 256 * 1024,
+});
+console.log(stats.estimatedPackets);
+
+await prepareFileCommand(
+    "/tmp/data.bin",
+    "/tmp/keys/server.vault",
+    "serverpw1234",
+    { output: "/tmp/prepared", packetSize: 256 * 1024 },
+);
+
+const result = await validateFileCommand("/tmp/prepared");
+expect(result.isComplete).toBe(true);
+expect(result.invalidPackets).toEqual([]);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Single-packet validation against an explicit hex public key (useful for
+spot-checking a remote-supplied packet without trusting the colocated
+manifest):
+
+```ts
+import { validatePacketCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/files";
+
+const r = await validatePacketCommand(
+    "/tmp/prepared/packet.000000.bin",
+    "abcd...ed25519-public-key-hex",
+);
+expect(r.isValid).toBe(true);
+```
+
+Detect a tampered packet:
+
+```ts
+import { promises as fs } from "node:fs";
+const target = "/tmp/prepared/packet.000003.bin";
+const original = await fs.readFile(target, "utf-8");
+const obj = JSON.parse(original);
+const bytes = Buffer.from(obj.data, "hex");
+bytes[10] ^= 0xff;
+obj.data = bytes.toString("hex");
+await fs.writeFile(target, JSON.stringify(obj));
+const r = await validateFileCommand("/tmp/prepared");
+expect(r.isComplete).toBe(false);
+expect(r.invalidPackets).toContain(3);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `prepareFileCommand(filePath, vaultPath, password, options?) =>
+  Promise<FileManifest>`
+- `validateFileCommand(packetDir, options?) =>
+  Promise<ValidateFileResult>`
+- `getFileStatsCommand(filePath, options?) => Promise<FileStatsResult>`
+- `validatePacketCommand(packetPath, verifyKeyHex, options?) =>
+  Promise<ValidatePacketResult>`
+
+All take `FileCommandOptions = { output?, packetSize?, logger?,
+signal? }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`prepareFileCommand` constructs a new `Packer` per packet so the
+underlying event bus stays scoped to a single pack call — the abstract
+`Packer` is an `EventEmitter` and we don't want pack events leaking
+across packets. Each packet stores its `signature`, `data`, `checksum`,
+and `originalSize` in a small JSON envelope (`{ data, signature,
+checksum, originalSize }`), all hex-encoded — operators inspecting
+packets by hand can paste them into a hex viewer without further
+tooling. The intentional `compressionLevel: 0` (no gzip) keeps each
+packet's plaintext slice byte-identical to the input region; without
+this, signing operates over the gzip stream and reconstruction
+requires inverting it, which is an avoidable layer for the local
+transport.

+# `commands/files/files.types`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Type definitions and the default packet-size constant shared by every
+file-transport command in `@suaveplan/server-keys`. Centralising the
+shapes here lets `files.ts`, `serve-file.ts`, and `packet-io.ts` all
+agree on the wire format without circular imports, and gives downstream
+programmatic consumers a single import for the typed return envelopes
+(`FileManifest`, `ValidateFileResult`, `FileStatsResult`,
+`ValidatePacketResult`, `PacketRecord`).
+
+The `DEFAULT_PACKET_SIZE = 1_048_576` (1 MiB) constant mirrors the
+upstream default; both the prepare and stats commands fall back to it
+when the caller doesn't override `packetSize`.
+
+## Features
+
+- `FilesLogger` — `Pick<LoggerLike, "info" | "error">`; injected.
+- `FileCommandOptions` — shared `{ output?, packetSize?, logger?,
+  signal? }`.
+- `FileManifest` — top-level on-disk JSON shape, schema-versioned via
+  `schemaVersion: 1`.
+- `PacketRecord` — per-packet metadata in the manifest.
+- `ValidateFileResult`, `FileStatsResult`, `ValidatePacketResult` —
+  typed return envelopes.
+- `DEFAULT_PACKET_SIZE = 1_048_576`.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    FileCommandOptions,
+    FileManifest,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/files.types";
+
+const options: FileCommandOptions = {
+    output: "/tmp/prepared",
+    packetSize: 512 * 1024,
+};
+
+function packetCount(m: FileManifest): number {
+    return m.totalPackets;
+}
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Validate a third-party-produced manifest at the boundary before
+consuming it:
+
+```ts
+import type { FileManifest } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/files.types";
+
+function isFileManifest(value: unknown): value is FileManifest {
+    if (typeof value !== "object" || value === null) return false;
+    const v = value as Record<string, unknown>;
+    return (
+        v.schemaVersion === 1 &&
+        typeof v.fileId === "string" &&
+        typeof v.originalFilename === "string" &&
+        typeof v.originalSize === "number" &&
+        typeof v.packetSize === "number" &&
+        typeof v.totalPackets === "number" &&
+        typeof v.signerPublicKey === "string" &&
+        Array.isArray(v.packets)
+    );
+}
+```

+## Implementation Notes
+
+Every field is `readonly` to keep accidental in-place mutation out of
+the call sites; the manifest is also frozen-on-write by the JSON
+round-trip in `writeManifest`. The `schemaVersion: 1` literal type pins
+the on-disk format — a future v2 change would add `2` as a discriminator
+and require an explicit migration path in the orchestration layer
+instead of silently changing the shape.

+# `commands/files/packet-io`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Shared on-disk format helpers for the file-transport commands. Holds
+the canonical packet envelope `{ data, signature, checksum,
+originalSize }` (all hex-encoded scalars in JSON), the canonical
+packet filename convention (`packet.<6-digit-index>.bin`), the manifest
+filename (`manifest.json`), and the read/write helpers used by both
+`prepareFileCommand` and `serveFileCommand`.
+
+Lives in its own module so the format is the contract: any tool that
+agrees on the envelope shape can interop with a server-keys-prepared
+directory without depending on the full file-command surface. Also keeps
+`files.ts` and `serve-file.ts` under the 300-line hard limit by lifting
+out the duplicated serialisation code.
+
+## Features
+
+- `packetFilename(index)` — zero-padded 6-digit filename for
+  deterministic sort order.
+- `bytesToHex` / `hexToBytes` — lowercase hex, strict input validation.
+- `serializePacket(packed, originalSize)` — JSON-encode a `PackedData`
+  envelope.
+- `deserializePacket(buffer)` — parse a JSON envelope back into the
+  shape `Unpacker.unpack` expects, with a typed `PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED`
+  failure on malformed JSON.
+- `readManifest(dir)` / `writeManifest(dir, manifest)` — single-file
+  JSON manifest I/O with directory creation.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    packetFilename,
+    serializePacket,
+    writeManifest,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/packet-io";
+
+const filename = packetFilename(7); // "packet.000007.bin"
+const text = serializePacket(packed, 1024);
+await fs.writeFile(`/tmp/prepared/${filename}`, text);
+await writeManifest("/tmp/prepared", manifest);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Round-trip a packet envelope without touching disk:
+
+```ts
+import {
+    deserializePacket,
+    serializePacket,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/packet-io";
+
+const text = serializePacket(packed, slice.byteLength);
+const buf = new TextEncoder().encode(text);
+const { packed: rehydrated, envelope } = deserializePacket(buf);
+expect(envelope.checksum).toBe(packed.metadata.checksum);
+expect(Array.from(rehydrated.data)).toEqual(Array.from(packed.data));
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `MANIFEST_FILENAME = "manifest.json"`
+- `packetFilename(index: number) => string`
+- `bytesToHex(bytes: Uint8Array) => string`
+- `hexToBytes(hex: string) => Uint8Array` (throws on malformed input)
+- `interface SerializedPacket { data, signature, checksum, originalSize }`
+- `serializePacket(packed, originalSize) => string`
+- `deserializePacket(buffer) => { packed, envelope }`
+- `writeManifest(dir, manifest) => Promise<void>`
+- `readManifest(dir) => Promise<FileManifest>`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`readManifest` translates a missing file into
+`SERVER_KEYS_FILE_NOT_FOUND`; this is the closest match in the
+registry for "the directory exists but the manifest entry is absent"
+and aligns with how the keys commands report missing key files.
+`deserializePacket` raises `PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED` on malformed JSON
+rather than `INVALID_INPUT` because the input is a file the caller
+already trusted enough to read — the failure is on the storage side,
+not on a CLI option-bag boundary. The packet envelope deliberately
+hex-encodes both `data` and `signature` (rather than base64) to match
+the rest of the package's binary-on-disk convention and to keep the
+file readable by hand.

+`prepareFileCommand`. Failure to verify any packet aborts the operation
+with `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED)` BEFORE any
+bytes are written to disk, so the output path is never half-written.
+
+Lives in a sibling file to `files.ts` because the reconstruction path
+has a distinctly different shape (in-memory contiguous buffer, strict
+ordering, single output write) compared to the parallel packet-level
+work the rest of the file commands do.
+
+## Features
+
+- Strict index ordering: refuses to serve if any packet's `index` does
+  not match its position in the sorted manifest.
+- Signature + checksum verification per packet via `Unpacker.unpack`
+  with `verifySignature: true, verifyKey, verifyChecksum: true`.
+- Single allocation for the reconstructed buffer (`new
+  Uint8Array(manifest.originalSize)`), populated in place — bounds the
+  serve-path memory at exactly the original file size.
+- Cooperative abort via `options.signal`.
+- Output defaults to `<packetDir>/<originalFilename>`; override with
+  `options.output`.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { serveFileCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/serve-file";
+
+const result = await serveFileCommand("/tmp/prepared", {
+    output: "/tmp/reconstructed.bin",
+});
+expect(result.bytesWritten).toBe(originalSize);
+expect(result.packetsRead).toBe(totalPackets);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Drive the reconstruction with a capturing logger and an external abort
+signal, then compare the result byte-for-byte to the original:
+
+```ts
+import { promises as fs } from "node:fs";
+import { serveFileCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/files/serve-file";
+
+const lines: string[] = [];
+const ac = new AbortController();
+setTimeout(() => ac.abort(), 5000);
+
+const result = await serveFileCommand("/tmp/prepared", {
+    output: "/tmp/out.bin",
+    logger: { info: (m) => lines.push(m), error: (m) => lines.push(m) },
+    signal: ac.signal,
+});
+
+const original = await fs.readFile("/tmp/data.bin");
+const reconstructed = await fs.readFile(result.outputPath);
+expect(Buffer.compare(original, reconstructed)).toBe(0);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `serveFileCommand(packetDir, options?) => Promise<ServeFileResult>`
+- `interface ServeFileResult { outputPath, bytesWritten, packetsRead,
+  fileId }`
+
+`options: FileCommandOptions = { output?, logger?, signal? }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The reconstruction buffer is sized to `manifest.originalSize` and we
+assert `writeOffset === manifest.originalSize` at the end so a
+manifest-vs-actual mismatch is caught as `PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED`
+instead of silently truncating. We sort the manifest's packet records
+before iterating because the JSON entries may have been written in any
+order; sorting once and iterating in index order is O(n log n) for n
+packets, which is dominated by the per-packet AEAD work anyway.
+Verification is requested with all three checks enabled (`signature`,
+`checksum`, and length) because the contract is "byte-identical
+reconstruction" — any weakening would let a tampered packet through
+with the same number of bytes.

+# `commands/keys/keys-chain`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Hierarchical `ChainedKeySigner`-backed key-lifecycle commands. Each
+chain command wraps the matching crypto-vault orchestration in a
+two-step pipeline: generate-or-derive a fresh keychain via
+`@suaveplan/crypto-keys` (which produces a signed chain bytes blob), then
+encrypt the keychain with `packVault` from `@suaveplan/crypto-vault`.
+Persistence writes `<name>.vault` plus a `<name>.chain` file instead of
+the non-chain `<name>.pub` so operators can tell at a glance which key
+family a directory holds.
+
+`verify-key-chain` rounds out the surface: it loads a chain file +
+trusted root file, extracts the root's `sign` public key (whether the
+root file is a signed-public-key file or another chain file), and
+returns a structured `{ valid, depth, errors }` result without
+throwing on a signature failure.
+
+## Features
+
+- Chain command parity with the non-chain commands: `create-root`,
+  `create-server`, `roll-server`, all producing matching vault + chain
+  artefacts.
+- `verifyKeyChainCommand` accepts both signed-public-key files and
+  chain files as the trusted-root input — automatic fallback.
+- Same `KeyCommandOptions` shape as `keys.ts`: output dir, logger,
+  abort signal.
+- `parseChain` helper for non-verifying introspection (depth count).
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    createRootKeysChainCommand,
+    createServerKeysChainCommand,
+    verifyKeyChainCommand,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys-chain";
+
+await createRootKeysChainCommand("rootpw1234", { output: "/tmp/keys" });
+await createServerKeysChainCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/root.vault",
+    "rootpw1234",
+    "serverpw1234",
+    { output: "/tmp/keys" },
+);
+const result = await verifyKeyChainCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/server.chain",
+    "/tmp/keys/root.chain",
+);
+expect(result.valid).toBe(true);
+expect(result.depth).toBe(2);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Detect a tampered chain by flipping a byte in the chain file and
+re-running the verifier; the result reports `valid: false` with a
+populated `errors` array instead of throwing:
+
+```ts
+import { promises as fs } from "node:fs";
+import {
+    rollServerKeysChainCommand,
+    verifyKeyChainCommand,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys-chain";
+
+await rollServerKeysChainCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/root.vault",
+    "rootpw1234",
+    "serverpw1234",
+    1,
+    { output: "/tmp/keys" },
+);
+
+const chainPath = "/tmp/keys/server.v2.chain";
+const original = await fs.readFile(chainPath);
+const tampered = new Uint8Array(original);
+tampered[tampered.length - 1] ^= 0xff;
+await fs.writeFile(chainPath, tampered);
+
+const r = await verifyKeyChainCommand(chainPath, "/tmp/keys/root.chain");
+expect(r.valid).toBe(false);
+expect(r.errors.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+await fs.writeFile(chainPath, original); // restore
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `createRootKeysChainCommand(password, options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `createServerKeysChainCommand(rootVaultPath, rootPassword,
+  serverPassword, options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `rollServerKeysChainCommand(rootVaultPath, rootPassword,
+  serverPassword, currentVersion, options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `verifyKeyChainCommand(chainPath, rootKeyPath, options?) =>
+  Promise<{ valid, depth, errors }>`
+- `parseChain(chainBytes) => Promise<{ depth }>`
+- `viewPublicKeys` re-export — for callers that need to decode a
+  signed-public-key file in the same import.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The cast through
+`as unknown as Parameters<typeof createServerKeysWithChain>[0]["rootKeys"]`
+is the safe-narrowing shape `crypto-keys` expects — it requires a
+`Keychain` typed against its own `LayoutV1Fields` import, which is
+nominally distinct from crypto-vault's despite being structurally
+identical. The double declaration of `LayoutV1Fields` across packages
+mirrors the deliberate decoupling there; the cast keeps the boundary
+explicit.
+
+`verifyKeyChainCommand` does not re-throw on `valid: false` because the
+spec scenario "tampered chain fails verification" requires a structured
+result, not an exception — exceptions are reserved for input failures
+(`INVALID_INPUT`, `FILE_NOT_FOUND`, missing `sign` slot).

+# `commands/keys/keys-io`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Private I/O and orchestration-layer helpers shared by every public keys
+command. Extracted from `keys.ts` to keep each file under the 300-line
+hard limit while still concentrating filesystem access, vault decryption,
+signal checking, and logger defaulting in a single auditable module.
+Every public failure surfaces as a `ServerKeysError` with the matching
+`SERVER_KEYS_*` code: `FILE_NOT_FOUND`, `VAULT_DECRYPT_FAILED`,
+`CHAIN_VERIFY_FAILED`, or `ABORTED`.
+
+All filesystem I/O goes through `node:fs/promises` directly, NOT
+through `@suaveplan/storage-file`. The storage-file driver appends
+`.data` / `.meta` extensions to every key on write, which would force
+operator scripts and downstream consumers to address artefacts by
+`root.vault.data` instead of the conventional `root.vault`. The CLI
+contract is byte-name-stable across upstream and suaveplan, so the
+helpers stay on plain Node fs.
+
+## Features
+
+- `pickLogger(options)` — silent default; honours an injected `KeysLogger`.
+- `checkSignal(signal, command)` — cooperative abort check that throws
+  `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_ABORTED)`.
+- `writeVaultPair(dir, vaultName, publicName, vaultBytes, publicBytes)`
+  — single transaction that persists both vault and public-key file via
+  storage-file.
+- `loadFile(path)` — bytes loader with FILE_NOT_FOUND translation.
+- `decryptVault(bytes, password, path)` — VAULT_DECRYPT_FAILED on any
+  failure, preserving the `cause` chain.
+- `loadRootKeysResult(rootVaultPath, password)` — reconstructs the
+  `RootKeysResult` shape the crypto-vault orchestration expects, by
+  re-reading the sibling `.pub` file.
+- `extractSignPublicKey(bytes, sourcePath)` — pulls the `sign` slot's
+  public key out of a public-keychain blob; CHAIN_VERIFY_FAILED on
+  missing slot.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    loadFile,
+    decryptVault,
+    writeVaultPair,
+    pickLogger,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys-io";
+
+const bytes = await loadFile("./keys/root.vault");
+const keychain = await decryptVault(bytes, password, "./keys/root.vault");
+await writeVaultPair(
+    "./keys",
+    "server.vault",
+    "server.pub",
+    serverVaultBytes,
+    serverPubBytes,
+);
+pickLogger(undefined).info("done");
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Compose with `checkSignal` for an abort-aware command body, and use
+`loadRootKeysResult` to feed the crypto-vault `createServerKeys`
+orchestration:
+
+```ts
+import { createServerKeys } from "@suaveplan/crypto-vault";
+import {
+    checkSignal,
+    loadRootKeysResult,
+    writeVaultPair,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys-io";
+
+export async function deriveServer(
+    rootVaultPath: string,
+    rootPassword: string,
+    serverPassword: string,

+## Implementation Notes
+
+`storageFor` constructs a fresh `NodeFsStorage` per call instead of
+caching: each call's `rootDir` is independent (the keys CLI talks to
+arbitrary user paths), so a cache would conflate unrelated paths and
+introduce subtle leakage between commands. `loadRootKeysResult` derives
+the sibling `.pub` path with a `.vault → .pub` substitution because the
+upstream layout convention is mirrored verbatim — any deviation here
+breaks `create-server-keys` against an existing `create-root-keys`
+output. The error translations preserve `cause` so the SuaveplanError
+chain stays walkable in operator log forensics.

+# `commands/keys/keys`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Non-chain key-lifecycle commands for `@suaveplan/server-keys`. These
+functions are the library surface every key/view bin in the package
+calls into: root keychain creation, server keychain derivation, server
+keychain rotation, and the four read-only inspectors (`view-keys`,
+`view-vault`, `view-public-key-file`, `view-chain-public`). The
+sibling `keys-chain.ts` covers the hierarchical chain variants and
+`verify-key-chain`; `keys-io.ts` holds the shared filesystem and
+decryption helpers.
+
+Every command writes through `@suaveplan/storage-file`'s
+`NodeFsStorage`, so vault and public-key persistence flows through the
+same gated I/O as the rest of the storage stack — no direct
+`fs.writeFile` calls live in this module. The crypto-vault
+orchestration (`createRootKeys`, `createServerKeys`, `rollServerKeys`,
+`openVault`, `viewPublicKeys`) is the format owner.
+
+## Features
+
+- Filename convention mirroring upstream: `root.vault`/`root.pub`,
+  `server.vault`/`server.pub`, `server.v<N>.vault`/`server.v<N>.pub`.
+- Structured `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_*)` failures everywhere —
+  callers always see a typed code on `error.code`.
+- Injectable `KeysLogger` (defaults to silent) — bins wire a console
+  shim; tests can capture every printed line as a string array.
+- Cooperative abort via `options.signal`; each command checks before
+  expensive crypto or filesystem work.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    createRootKeysCommand,
+    createServerKeysCommand,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys";
+
+await createRootKeysCommand("hunter2hunter2", { output: "/tmp/keys" });
+await createServerKeysCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/root.vault",
+    "hunter2hunter2",
+    "newserverpw",
+    { output: "/tmp/keys" },
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Drive the viewers from a higher-level orchestrator with a capturing
+logger:
+
+```ts
+import {
+    viewKeysCommand,
+    viewVaultCommand,
+    viewPublicKeyFileCommand,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys";
+
+const lines: string[] = [];
+const logger = {
+    info: (m: string) => lines.push(`I:${m}`),
+    error: (m: string) => lines.push(`E:${m}`),
+};
+
+const stat = await viewVaultCommand("/tmp/keys/root.vault", { logger });
+const keychain = await viewKeysCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/root.vault",
+    "hunter2hunter2",
+    { logger },
+);
+const pubChain = await viewPublicKeyFileCommand("/tmp/keys/root.pub", {
+    logger,
+});
+expect(stat.bytes).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+expect(Object.keys(pubChain).length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+// Rotate with an abort guard:
+const ac = new AbortController();
+setTimeout(() => ac.abort(), 100);
+await rollServerKeysCommand(
+    "/tmp/keys/root.vault",
+    "hunter2hunter2",
+    "newserverpw",
+    1,
+    { output: "/tmp/keys", signal: ac.signal },
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `createRootKeysCommand(password, options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `createServerKeysCommand(rootVaultPath, rootPassword, serverPassword,
+  options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `rollServerKeysCommand(rootVaultPath, rootPassword, serverPassword,
+  currentVersion, options?) => Promise<void>`
+- `viewKeysCommand(vaultPath, password, options?) => Promise<Keychain>`
+- `viewVaultCommand(vaultPath, options?) =>
+  Promise<{ path, bytes }>`
+- `viewPublicKeyFileCommand(publicKeyPath, options?) =>
+  Promise<PublicKeychain>`
+- `viewChainPublicCommand(publicKeyPath, signKeyPath?, options?) =>
+  Promise<PublicKeychain>`
+
+All options are `KeyCommandOptions = { output?, logger?, signal? }`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`viewKeysCommand` returns the decoded keychain instead of `void` so test
+harnesses can assert on the result without re-decrypting; the
+information is already in memory by the time the function logs, and
+exposing it avoids a redundant decrypt in callers. Slot iteration goes
+through `Object.entries(keychain as Record<string, unknown>)` because
+`Keychain` is `Readonly<Record<PurposeTag, KeySlotPrivate>>` where
+`PurposeTag` is a branded `string & { __brand }` — TS cannot iterate
+branded keys directly, so a typed-string view is the correct narrowing.
+The roll-server output uses `server.v<N>` (dot-separated) instead of
+upstream's `server-v<N>` to keep version segments visually distinct in
+operator listings.

+# `commands/keys/keys.types`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Shared type definitions and filename constants for every keys command in
+`@suaveplan/server-keys`. Centralising these here lets the public
+commands, the chain commands, and the I/O helpers all agree on the
+exact shape of `KeyCommandOptions`, the same set of filenames, and the
+verifier return envelope without circular imports. Tests assert against
+the same constants, so a typo in the filename convention surfaces as a
+test failure rather than as silent drift between the bins and their
+underlying commands.
+
+## Features
+
+- `KeysLogger` — `Pick<LoggerLike, "info" | "error">` from
+  `@suaveplan/types`; every command accepts an injected logger that
+  defaults to silent.
+- `KeyCommandOptions` — `{ output?, logger?, signal? }`, the option
+  bag every public keys command takes.
+- `KEY_FILE_NAMES` — frozen record of the conventional filenames
+  (`root.vault`, `root.pub`, `root.chain`, `server.vault`,
+  `server.pub`, `server.chain`).
+- `VerifyKeyChainResult` — the structured envelope returned by
+  `verifyKeyChainCommand` (`{ valid, depth, errors }`).
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    KEY_FILE_NAMES,
+    type KeyCommandOptions,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys.types";
+
+const options: KeyCommandOptions = { output: "/etc/suaveplan/keys" };
+const path = `${options.output}/${KEY_FILE_NAMES.rootVault}`;
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Match on the structured verifier envelope without re-implementing the
+discrimination logic in every caller:
+
+```ts
+import type { VerifyKeyChainResult } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys.types";
+
+function summariseChain(r: VerifyKeyChainResult): string {
+    if (r.valid) return `OK (depth=${r.depth})`;
+    return `INVALID (depth=${r.depth}): ${r.errors.join("; ")}`;
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `interface KeysLogger extends Pick<LoggerLike, "info" | "error">`
+- `interface KeyCommandOptions { output?, logger?, signal? }`
+- `const KEY_FILE_NAMES = Object.freeze({ rootVault, rootPublic,
+  rootChain, serverVault, serverPublic, serverChain })`
+- `interface VerifyKeyChainResult { valid, depth, errors }`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`KEY_FILE_NAMES` is `Object.freeze`-d so accidental mutation at runtime
+throws in strict mode; this is the only mutable-looking constant in the
+keys surface, and the freeze guards against bins or tests reaching in
+to override a name (which would silently break the upstream-compatible
+layout convention). The `KeysLogger` shape is narrower than the full
+`LoggerLike` so the bins can supply a console shim with just two
+methods without TypeScript complaining about missing trace/debug/warn.

+# `commands/license/hex`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Tiny shared hex encode/decode helpers used by the license sub-commands
+to serialise and deserialise the secp256k1 key material carried in the
+`LicenseKeypairFile` JSON envelope. Extracted from `license.ts` so the
+license command module stays within the 300-line hard limit and so
+tests can exercise the hex boundary failures in isolation. Every public
+failure here surfaces as a `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_INVALID_INPUT)`
+with a precise error message, so the top-level `runFunction` wrapper
+prints actionable input diagnostics.
+
+The choice of hex (rather than base32 or base64) mirrors upstream's JSON
+key file layout — operators editing key files by hand find hex easier to
+inspect, and the secp256k1 secret scalar (32 bytes) and public key (33
+bytes compressed) fit comfortably in a single line each.
+
+## Features
+
+- `bytesToHex(bytes)` — lowercase hex, no separator, no `0x` prefix.
+- `hexToBytes(hex)` — strict parser: rejects odd lengths and any
+  non-hex character with a positional error message.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { bytesToHex, hexToBytes } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/hex";
+
+const bytes = new Uint8Array([0xab, 0xcd, 0xef]);
+const hex = bytesToHex(bytes); // "abcdef"
+const round = hexToBytes(hex); // Uint8Array([0xab, 0xcd, 0xef])
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Round-trip every byte with property-based testing:
+
+```ts
+import fc from "fast-check";
+import { bytesToHex, hexToBytes } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/hex";
+
+fc.assert(
+    fc.property(fc.uint8Array({ minLength: 0, maxLength: 1024 }), (input) => {
+        const round = hexToBytes(bytesToHex(input));
+        expect(round).toEqual(input);
+    }),
+);
+```
+
+Decode rejection on malformed input:
+
+```ts
+expect(() => hexToBytes("abc")).toThrow(/length must be even/);
+expect(() => hexToBytes("zz")).toThrow(/Invalid hex byte "zz" at offset 0/);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `bytesToHex(bytes: Uint8Array) => string`
+- `hexToBytes(hex: string) => Uint8Array` — throws
+  `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_INVALID_INPUT)` on odd length or non-hex
+  characters.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`bytesToHex` uses `padStart(2, "0")` instead of the `& 0xff` mask trick
+because the input is already `Uint8Array` (each element is guaranteed
+to be in `[0, 255]`), and the pad form keeps the per-byte intent
+explicit at zero runtime cost. `hexToBytes` does not use a regex pre-
+check because the per-byte `Number.parseInt(..., 16)` already enforces
+the character set and provides a more useful positional error message
+on failure.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Wraps `@suaveplan/license` `LicenseManager` into the five sub-commands
+the operator-facing `license` bin exposes: `keygen`, `generate`,
+`validate`, `parse`, `revoke`, plus an `exportPublicKeyFile` helper that
+derives a public-keys JSON from a freshly generated keypair file. Each
+sub-command translates a `LicenseError` into
+`ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_LICENSE_FAILED)` with the original error
+preserved as `cause`, so the top-level `runFunction` wrapper still
+prints a stable code on failure. Input boundary errors raise
+`SERVER_KEYS_INVALID_INPUT`, and missing key files raise
+`SERVER_KEYS_FILE_NOT_FOUND` — all four error paths are exercised in the
+spec-conformance tests.
+
+The on-disk JSON envelopes (`LicenseKeypairFile`, `LicensePublicKeyFile`)
+are deliberately minimal: hex-encoded secp256k1 secret + public, a
+numeric key id, and an ISO-8601 creation timestamp. Operators can edit
+them by hand without a tool. The revocation store is a JSON array of
+hex license fingerprints — created on first revoke, append-only.
+
+## Features
+
+- `keygen(outputPath, keyId, options?)` — fresh secp256k1 keypair via
+  `crypto-curve`'s `secp256k1.randomPrivateKey()` + `getPublicKey()`.
+- `generate(opts)` — `LicenseManager.generate` wrapper with hex-encoded
+  signing-key loading.
+- `validate(licenseKey, opts)` — public-keys JSON loader, supports
+  either an object or an array layout.
+- `parse(licenseKey, options?)` — synchronous, no signature check.
+- `revoke(licenseKey, opts)` — appends to a JSON revocation-store
+  file; creates the file if absent.
+- `exportPublicKeyFile(keypairFile, outputPath)` — derive the public-
+  keys file from a freshly generated keypair (used by the bin's
+  `--export-pub <path>` flag and by tests).
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    keygen,
+    generate,
+    validate,
+    parse,
+    revoke,
+    exportPublicKeyFile,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/license";
+import { PackageTier } from "@suaveplan/license";
+
+const kp = await keygen("/tmp/lic/keys.json", 1);
+await exportPublicKeyFile(kp, "/tmp/lic/public-keys.json");
+
+const lic = await generate({
+    signingKeyPath: "/tmp/lic/keys.json",
+    productId: 42,
+    tier: PackageTier.PRO,
+    expirationDays: 365,
+});
+
+const valid = await validate(lic.key, {
+    publicKeysPath: "/tmp/lic/public-keys.json",
+});
+expect(valid.success).toBe(true);
+
+const parsed = parse(lic.key);
+expect(parsed.payload.productId).toBe(42);
+
+await revoke(lic.key, { revocationStorePath: "/tmp/lic/revocations.json" });
+const after = await validate(lic.key, {
+    publicKeysPath: "/tmp/lic/public-keys.json",
+});
+// `revoke` modifies the in-memory store only inside the same Manager;
+// the file-backed store is observed by the next caller that constructs
+// a Manager with that store path (see bin/license.ts for the wiring).
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Flag a license as a TRIAL with a feature mask, then validate against a
+fixed reference date for deterministic expiration windows:
+
+```ts
+import { generate, validate } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/license";
+import { LicenseFlags, PackageTier } from "@suaveplan/license";
+
+const lic = await generate({
+    signingKeyPath: "/tmp/lic/keys.json",
+    productId: 1,
+    tier: PackageTier.BASIC,
+    expirationDays: 30,
+    flags: LicenseFlags.TRIAL,
+    featureMask: 0b1011, // features 0, 1, 3
+    useAbsoluteTime: false,
+    useFullSignature: true,
+});
+
+const checked = await validate(lic.key, {
+    publicKeysPath: "/tmp/lic/public-keys.json",
+    referenceDate: new Date("2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"),
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `keygen(outputPath, keyId, options?) => Promise<LicenseKeypairFile>`
+- `generate(opts: GenerateLicenseOptions) =>
+  Promise<LicenseGenerationResult>`
+- `validate(licenseKey, opts: ValidateLicenseOptions) =>
+  Promise<LicenseValidationResult>`
+- `parse(licenseKey, options?: LicenseCommandOptions) =>
+  LicenseParsedResult`
+- `revoke(licenseKey, opts: RevokeLicenseOptions) => Promise<string>`
+- `exportPublicKeyFile(keypairFile, outputPath) =>
+  Promise<LicensePublicKeyFile>`
+
+All option bags accept `{ logger?, signal? }` for injection.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`generate` constructs a `LicenseManager` per call (instead of caching
+one across sub-commands) because each call's signing key may be
+different — the bin invocation is the granularity that owns a key. The
+revocation store loader tolerates `ENOENT` (no file yet) but treats any
+other I/O error as a `LICENSE_FAILED` failure so operators don't
+silently revoke into a misconfigured path. The optional `signal`
+parameter is checked at the boundary of each sub-command and at the
+start of generate/validate so an aborted run never burns CPU on the
+LicenseManager's hash + signature work.

+# `commands/license/license.types`
+
+## Purpose
+
+Type definitions for every license sub-command's options bag and for
+the JSON file envelopes the bin reads and writes. Centralising these
+here keeps the sub-command functions in `license.ts` focused on
+behaviour and makes the boundary contract explicit — both for
+operators editing the JSON files by hand and for downstream programmatic
+consumers that want to write a typed wrapper around the bin's surface.
+
+The file envelopes mirror the upstream layout exactly so operator
+scripts that read or write these files continue to work without
+modification.
+
+## Features
+
+- `LicenseLogger` — `Pick<LoggerLike, "info" | "error">`; injected.
+- `LicenseCommandOptions` — shared `{ logger?, signal? }` base.
+- `LicenseKeypairFile` — `{ keyId, signingKey (hex), publicKey (hex),
+  created (ISO 8601) }`. Persisted by `keygen`.
+- `LicensePublicKeyFile` — `{ keyId, publicKey (hex) }`. Persisted by
+  `exportPublicKeyFile`; read by `validate`.
+- `GenerateLicenseOptions`, `ValidateLicenseOptions`,
+  `RevokeLicenseOptions` — typed per-sub-command bags.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    LicenseKeypairFile,
+    GenerateLicenseOptions,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/license.types";
+import { PackageTier } from "@suaveplan/license";
+
+const opts: GenerateLicenseOptions = {
+    signingKeyPath: "/tmp/keys.json",
+    productId: 42,
+    tier: PackageTier.PRO,
+    expirationDays: 365,
+};
+
+const file: LicenseKeypairFile = JSON.parse(
+    await fs.readFile("/tmp/keys.json", "utf-8"),
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Construct a typed orchestration script that emits a generation request,
+validates against a separately stored public-key file, and writes the
+revocation back to a third path:
+
+```ts
+import type {
+    GenerateLicenseOptions,
+    ValidateLicenseOptions,
+    RevokeLicenseOptions,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/license/license.types";
+
+interface LicenseFlow {
+    generate: GenerateLicenseOptions;
+    validate: ValidateLicenseOptions;
+    revoke: RevokeLicenseOptions;
+}
+
+const flow: LicenseFlow = {
+    generate: {
+        signingKeyPath: "/etc/lic/keys.json",
+        productId: 1,
+        tier: 2,
+        expirationDays: 730,
+    },
+    validate: { publicKeysPath: "/etc/lic/public-keys.json" },
+    revoke: { revocationStorePath: "/var/lib/lic/revocations.json" },
+};
+```
+

+- `interface LicenseKeypairFile`
+- `interface LicensePublicKeyFile`
+- `interface GenerateLicenseOptions extends LicenseCommandOptions`
+- `interface ValidateLicenseOptions extends LicenseCommandOptions`
+- `interface RevokeLicenseOptions extends LicenseCommandOptions`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+All fields on `LicenseKeypairFile` and `LicensePublicKeyFile` are
+`readonly` so accidental mutation after a JSON parse is a TS error.
+`LicenseValidationOptions.publicKeysPath` is named verbosely (instead
+of `publicKeyPath`) because the file MAY hold many keyed entries —
+either as a single object or as an array — and the plural is more
+honest about the multi-key layout. `ValidateLicenseOptions.referenceDate`
+is `Date | undefined`; the bin's `--reference-date <iso>` parses to a
+`Date` and forwards.

+# `error-codes`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Defines the stable `SERVER_KEYS_*` error-code registry used throughout
+`@suaveplan/server-keys`. Each code is a namespaced string registered via
+`defineCodes("SERVER_KEYS", ...)` from `@suaveplan/error`, so the global
+error registry is aware of every code the package may throw the moment
+this module is imported. Every public failure path in the package — vault
+decrypt, password mismatch, packet integrity, chain verify, license
+delegation, CLI input validation, cooperative abort — raises a
+`ServerKeysError` with one of these codes, never a bare `Error`.
+
+The registry is part of the package contract: tests assert that every
+declared code is raised from at least one production call site, and the
+spec-conformance test enumerates the registry to keep it from drifting.
+
+## Features
+
+- 10 stable codes covering vault, packet, license, input, and abort paths.
+- `ServerKeysError extends SuaveplanError<ServerKeysErrorCode>` so
+  `instanceof` narrows the `.code` field to the registry's literal union.
+- Side-effect registration with the global `@suaveplan/error` table — any
+  consumer that imports `@suaveplan/server-keys/error-codes/error-codes`
+  picks up the codes globally.
+- `serverKeysCode` accessor mirrors `code` for ergonomic narrowing.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    SERVER_KEYS_CODES,
+    ServerKeysError,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/error-codes/error-codes";
+
+throw new ServerKeysError(
+    SERVER_KEYS_CODES.VAULT_NOT_FOUND,
+    "Vault file does not exist at /etc/suaveplan/root.vault",
+);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Chain a cause through the constructor and dispatch on the code in a
+top-level handler:
+
+```ts
+import {
+    SERVER_KEYS_CODES,
+    ServerKeysError,
+    type ServerKeysErrorCode,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/error-codes/error-codes";
+
+try {
+    await prepareFileCommand(...);
+} catch (err) {
+    if (err instanceof ServerKeysError) {
+        const code: ServerKeysErrorCode = err.code;
+        if (code === SERVER_KEYS_CODES.PACKET_INTEGRITY_FAILED) {
+            // re-pack with a different signing key
+        }
+    }
+    throw err;
+}
+
+// Re-throw with cause chain preserved
+throw new ServerKeysError(
+    SERVER_KEYS_CODES.VAULT_DECRYPT_FAILED,
+    "Failed to decrypt root vault",
+    { cause: underlying, context: { vaultPath: "/etc/root.vault" } },
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `SERVER_KEYS_CODES` — frozen record of code constants.
+- `ServerKeysErrorCode` — union of the registry's string-literal values.
+- `class ServerKeysError extends SuaveplanError<ServerKeysErrorCode>` —
+  concrete error class with `.code`, `.serverKeysCode`, `.cause`,
+  `.context` (inherited from `SuaveplanError`).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`defineCodes` returns a frozen object whose keys map to the namespaced
+string codes (e.g. `SERVER_KEYS_CODES.VAULT_NOT_FOUND === "SERVER_KEYS.VAULT_NOT_FOUND"`).
+The cast through `SuaveplanError<ServerKeysErrorCode>` keeps the literal
+narrowing intact across error-catch boundaries. The class deliberately
+does not introduce extra behavior beyond the discriminator field — error
+shaping, redaction, and OTel span-event adapters live in
+`@suaveplan/error`.

+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Registers the OpenTelemetry counter and histogram that every CLI command
+in `@suaveplan/server-keys` emits exactly once per invocation through the
+`runFunction` wrapper. The instruments live behind the global meter
+provider supplied by `@opentelemetry/api`, so production deployments can
+plug in any exporter (OTLP, Prometheus, Jaeger) without changing the
+package. Tests wire an in-memory `MeterProvider` in `tests/setup/polyfills.ts`
+before any source module is imported, so the meter resolved at load time
+is the real provider's meter, never the noop fallback.
+
+The `recordCommand(command, outcome, durationMs, errorCode?)` helper is the
+single call site every command goes through — keeping the attribute keys
+consistent and the histogram unit (`ms`) authoritative.
+
+## Features
+
+- Counter `server_keys.command_total{command, command.outcome[, command.error_code]}`.
+- Histogram `server_keys.command_duration_ms{command, command.outcome[, command.error_code]}`
+  with `unit: "ms"`.
+- Stable attribute-key constants (`ATTR_COMMAND`, `ATTR_OUTCOME`,
+  `ATTR_ERROR_CODE`) so tests can assert by name.
+- `recordCommand` records both instruments atomically so dashboards built
+  on the counter and the histogram never disagree.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { recordCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/otel/instruments";
+
+const start = performance.now();
+try {
+    await doWork();
+    recordCommand("create-root-keys", "success", performance.now() - start);
+} catch (err) {
+    recordCommand("create-root-keys", "error", performance.now() - start);
+    throw err;
+}
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Attach the typed error code when failing, so dashboards can break down
+failures by reason without scraping log lines:
+
+```ts
+import { recordCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/otel/instruments";
+import { ServerKeysError } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/error-codes/error-codes";
+
+try {
+    await prepareFileCommand(...);
+    recordCommand("prepare-file", "success", elapsed);
+} catch (err) {
+    const code = err instanceof ServerKeysError ? err.code : "UNKNOWN";
+    recordCommand("prepare-file", "error", elapsed, code);
+    throw err;
+}
+```
+
+Or query the in-memory test exporter to assert on emitted metrics:
+
+```ts
+await flushTestMetrics(); // from tests/setup/polyfills.ts
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `commandTotal: Counter` — total CLI commands executed.
+- `commandDurationMs: Histogram` — per-command duration (ms).
+- `ATTR_COMMAND`, `ATTR_OUTCOME`, `ATTR_ERROR_CODE` — string-literal
+  attribute keys.
+- `CommandOutcome = "success" | "error"`.
+- `recordCommand(command, outcome, durationMs, errorCode?)` — record one
+  observation on both instruments.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`metrics.getMeter(name, version)` returns the meter from the current
+global provider; if no provider is registered, the API package returns a
+noop meter so production code never throws on missing telemetry. Setting
+the meter provider AFTER `instruments.ts` is imported has no effect on
+this module's meter handle, so the test polyfill must register the
+provider before any `import` that transitively loads `instruments.ts`.

+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Thin, test-injectable wrappers around `@inquirer/prompts`' password prompt
+for the two interactive flows every server-keys bin needs: a single
+silent password entry (`promptForPassword`) and a confirm-twice new
+password entry (`promptForNewPassword`). The wrappers add three things
+upstream lacks: a structured `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_PASSWORD_MISMATCH)`
+on mismatch (instead of a recursive re-prompt that bypasses the bin's
+top-level handler), a typed dependency-injection seam for the prompt
+function (so tests can run without touching stdin/stdout), and explicit
+threading of `input/output/signal` into inquirer's `context` so the
+prompts compose with the bin's `AbortController` and with non-TTY test
+runners.
+
+The minimum password length is exported as `MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH` so callers
+and tests share the constant.
+
+## Features
+
+- `mask: "*"` non-echo entry — passwords never appear in the buffered
+  terminal.
+- `validate: (input) => ...` rejects empty input and (on new-password)
+  enforces a minimum length, surfacing the message through inquirer's
+  re-prompt loop.
+- `SERVER_KEYS.PASSWORD_MISMATCH` raised on confirmation mismatch — the
+  caller's `runFunction` wrapper translates it into a process-exit
+  banner.
+- Injectable `passwordPrompt` for fully deterministic tests; injectable
+  `inputStream`, `outputStream`, and `signal` for partial stubs that
+  still drive the real inquirer prompt under a non-TTY harness.
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import {
+    promptForPassword,
+    promptForNewPassword,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt/prompt";
+
+const existing = await promptForPassword("Enter root vault password");
+const fresh = await promptForNewPassword("Enter password for the new vault");
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Inject a fake prompt for tests, then exercise both happy and mismatch
+paths without any TTY:
+
+```ts
+import { PassThrough } from "node:stream";
+import {
+    promptForNewPassword,
+    type PasswordPrompt,
+} from "@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt/prompt";
+
+const calls: string[] = [];
+const responses = ["correcthorse", "correcthorse"];
+const fake: PasswordPrompt = async (cfg) => {
+    calls.push(cfg.message);
+    return responses.shift() as string;
+};
+const pw = await promptForNewPassword("Enter password", {
+    passwordPrompt: fake,
+});
+expect(pw).toBe("correcthorse");
+expect(calls).toEqual(["Enter password", "Re-enter password to confirm"]);
+
+// Mismatch raises a typed error:
+await expect(
+    promptForNewPassword("x", {
+        passwordPrompt: async () =>
+            (["abcdefgh", "ABCDEFGH"].shift() ?? "") as string,
+    }),
+).rejects.toMatchObject({ code: "SERVER_KEYS.PASSWORD_MISMATCH" });
+
+// Production with a SIGINT-bound AbortController:
+const ac = new AbortController();
+process.once("SIGINT", () => ac.abort());
+const pw2 = await promptForPassword("Enter vault password", {
+    signal: ac.signal,
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 8` — new-password length floor.
+- `PasswordPrompt` — function type matching `@inquirer/prompts.password`.
+- `PromptOptions = { passwordPrompt?, inputStream?, outputStream?, signal? }`.
+- `promptForPassword(message?, options?) => Promise<string>`.
+- `promptForNewPassword(message?, options?) => Promise<string>` — throws
+  `ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_PASSWORD_MISMATCH)` on mismatch.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The validators are kept in-prompt (instead of after the await) so
+inquirer's re-prompt UX still works for empty / too-short input. The
+mismatch check lives outside the prompt so the failure can be caught by
+the top-level handler instead of trapping the user in an infinite re-ask
+loop. `buildContext` only assigns keys that were actually provided so
+inquirer's defaults apply for the rest, and returns `undefined` for the
+empty case so the prompt can resolve its own stdin / stdout / signal
+defaults.

+# `run-function`
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+`runFunction` is the single wrapper every server-keys CLI bin uses for its
+commander `.action(...)` body. It standardises three concerns the upstream
+package handled inconsistently: structured error reporting (always a
+`ServerKeysError` with a stable code, never a bare `Error`), OpenTelemetry
+emission (one counter increment + one histogram observation per call,
+attribute `command.outcome` set), and process-exit semantics (`exit(1)` on
+any failure, after the banner is printed). It also threads an optional
+`AbortSignal` through to the body so long-running commands can co-operate
+with `SIGINT` without changing every command signature.
+
+The wrapper accepts an injectable `logger` and `exit` so tests can run
+against an in-memory logger and assert on the exit code without
+terminating the runner. Production bins call it with default options.
+
+## Features
+
+- Times the body with `performance.now()` and records both OTel
+  instruments via `recordCommand`.
+- Normalises any thrown failure into a `ServerKeysError`; wraps non-
+  `Error` throws with `cause` preserved when possible.
+- Pre-checks `signal.aborted` and short-circuits with
+  `SERVER_KEYS.ABORTED` before the body runs.
+- Prints a single, structured stderr banner per failure (`[command] CODE:
+  message`).
+- Returns the body's resolved value on success for non-bin callers (test
+  harnesses).
+
+## Usage: Basic
+
+```ts
+import { Command } from "commander";
+import { runFunction } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/run-function";
+import { createRootKeysCommand } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/commands/keys/keys";
+import { promptForNewPassword } from "@suaveplan/server-keys/prompt/prompt";
+
+new Command()
+    .name("create-root-keys")
+    .option("-o, --output <dir>", "Output directory", "./keys")
+    .action((options) =>
+        runFunction("create-root-keys", async (signal) => {
+            const password = await promptForNewPassword("Enter vault password");
+            await createRootKeysCommand(password, {
+                output: options.output,
+                signal,
+            });
+        }),
+    )
+    .parse();
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced
+
+Inject a custom logger and a non-terminating exit for tests, and bind a
+real `AbortController` to `SIGINT` in production:
+
+```ts
+const calls: string[] = [];
+const fakeLogger = {
+    info: (m: string) => calls.push(`I:${m}`),
+    error: (m: string) => calls.push(`E:${m}`),
+};
+let exitCode: number | undefined;
+await runFunction("test-cmd", async () => {
+    throw new ServerKeysError(SERVER_KEYS_CODES.VAULT_NOT_FOUND, "missing");
+}, {
+    logger: fakeLogger,
+    exit: (c) => {
+        exitCode = c;
+    },
+}).catch(() => undefined);
+expect(exitCode).toBe(1);
+expect(calls[0]).toMatch(/^E:\[test-cmd] SERVER_KEYS\.VAULT_NOT_FOUND/);
+
+// Production SIGINT plumbing:
+const ac = new AbortController();
+process.once("SIGINT", () => ac.abort());
+await runFunction("prepare-file", (signal) =>
+    prepareFileCommand(..., { signal }),
+    { signal: ac.signal },
+);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+- `RunFunctionLogger = Pick<LoggerLike, "info" | "error">`
+- `RunFunctionOptions = { logger?, exit?, signal? }`
+- `runFunction<T>(command, body, options?) => Promise<T>` — the wrapper.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+`performance.now()` measures wall-clock duration in milliseconds with
+sub-millisecond resolution, matching the histogram's `unit: "ms"`. The
+function re-throws the wrapped error AFTER calling `exit(1)` so tests
+that pass a non-terminating `exit` can `.catch(...)` the promise; in
+production `exit` never returns, so the re-throw is dead code that keeps
+the type signature honest. The pre-flight `signal.aborted` check uses the
+same code path as the OTel + logger + exit flow so the test surface is
+identical on the abort branch.
