+                    The palette searches every readable vault at once, so without it two hosts a team and a
+                    person both call "prod-db" are two identical rows, and Enter takes whichever the ranking
+                    happened to put first. Trimmed against a cap because the column is Auto-sized: a long
+                    vault name would otherwise take its width out of the host name beside it.

                     credential / key / password — never the mock's SSH/SFTP kind column. Every palette
                     connect here is SSH, so printing that word would be a constant dressed up as a reading;
