Settings → Security gains a SPELUNK section: an API address and a key, saved as a new keychain item, a Spelunk key (SyncEntityType 14, AadResourceType 17, server table spelunk_key via the AddSpelunkKeyItem migration). It is ciphertext only on the server, lives in the personal vault, syncs like every secret, and holds the key together with the one address it may be sent to. The key box empties once saved; the list shows name, address and how many hosts use each key, never the key. Saving a key for an address that already has one replaces it, and deleting goes through the shared confirmation card with the hosts that would stop connecting.

A host's route names a saved key where it named a credential, in the same apiKeyCredentialId field, so no host schema changes and an older build reads such a host as one whose key credential has gone. At connect a saved key is sent only to its own address; a host naming it with another Spelunk address is refused in words. Keys kept as a credential's password still work. The editor offers saved keys first and picks the one saved for an address as it is typed.

A link from a Spelunk with a saved key now connects straight away, including the first one: saving the key is the user's say-so that the first-link editor used to ask for.

The address and key merge as one pair, so two concurrent edits can never pair one device's key with another's address, and the key never reaches the conflict log.

jaap-jan d07b336868 Free the terminal from the Hosts screen, and fill the room it left
The WebView sat inside the Hosts grid, so navigating to Files or the keychain
hid every open terminal and the strip that named them. A connection you had
opened was invisible from four of the five screens. The window now has two
surfaces rather than one: a nav rail that says which page you are on, and a
terminal strip that is always there and switches the whole content area to a
shell. Screen keeps meaning "which page" and never becomes a sixth kind of
page, which is why this is two properties instead of one enum with a terminal
member in it.

Every screen lives inside one wrapper panel that collapses when a terminal is
showing. That is not tidiness — the WebView hosts a Win32 child window that
composites above everything Avalonia draws, so a screen left visible over its
rectangle is a screen sliced in half, and this window has shipped that defect
once already. One decision point, IsTerminalShowing, and a nested panel rather
than five compound bindings nobody would remember to extend.

The focus choreography is the part no test in this repo can see. Every reveal
path now focuses in the same turn the WebView appeared, so all three of them
post at DispatcherPriority.Loaded and let the native control re-push its bounds
first. Going the other way had a real bug: the screen-changed branch called a
bare Focus() where it had to release the keyboard from the native child, so
switching from a terminal to Files silently ate the first keystrokes. Rare
before this commit and the primary gesture after it.

The tab strip grew a cross inside each tab, a plus that opens the quick-connect
palette, and middle-click close. Nested buttons are correct here: Avalonia
handles a left press on the cross and deliberately does not handle other
buttons, which is exactly what lets middle-click bubble up from the cross as
well as the tab. The test is PointerUpdateKind rather than
IsMiddleButtonPressed, because the latter reports button state and is also true
for a left press made while the middle button happens to be held. The handler
is on the tab and not the strip, so the background closes nothing by
construction. Plus opens the palette rather than a flyout, since a menu
dropping into the WebView's rectangle may or may not composite above a child
HWND and this repo does not make rendering claims it has not photographed.

Everything a user reads now says keychain. The wire, the database and the
cryptographic spec still say vault, deliberately: renaming those is a migration
and a protocol change for a word. That split is written down rather than left
to be rediscovered as an inconsistency.

Four things that were squeezed into the keychain's category rail, or into
nothing at all, now have screens. Pinned host keys get one, with fingerprints
never truncated and a filter that matches them, because comparing what you have
against what the operator published is the whole workflow; the approved date is
read out of the item's UUIDv7 rather than added as a column, and says so, since
it means first approval and not last use. Keys can be generated in the client,
which needed the openssh-key-v1 container written by hand — there is no BCL or
NSec helper, and the PKCS#8 route is unverified in the SSH library this uses.
The armour carries no passphrase: encrypting it needs bcrypt_pbkdf, which is
Blowfish with a swizzle, in a project whose crypto is otherwise entirely
libsodium, for a protection the key's own remarks argue is redundant inside a
vault. Generation fills the existing editor and stops, so SAVE stays the one
thing that writes. ~/.ssh/config can be imported behind a preview that is
ticked per row and writes nothing until the button; IdentityFile records the
path and imports the key material only on an explicit opt-in, because reading
somebody's private key into a vault is precisely the act this product exists to
make deliberate. Match blocks and ProxyJump are reported rather than obeyed —
one cannot be evaluated statically and the other has nothing behind it to route
with, and a preview that implied otherwise would be worse than one that admits
it.

Files can be dragged in all four directions that are honestly available. Remote
to Explorer does not ship and is not pretended to: the shell wants the bytes
during the drop, which needs a virtual file and a native COM data object,
outside what Avalonia offers. Note for the next person that Avalonia 12
replaced the drag model outright — DataObject and DataFormats are no-op stubs
and IDataObject is not in the reference assembly, so every tutorial written for
11 does not compile here.

Hosts can be grouped, flat and never nested. A parent id merged as a scalar
lets two offline clients each re-parent A under B and B under A, producing a
cycle inside an encrypted payload that no server can police and every reader
would have to detect for ever. Membership lives in that payload rather than in
the one plaintext concession ADR 0001 allows, whose test is that the relay
cannot function without it — nothing on the server reads a group, so what
plaintext would hand over is a clustering of the estate for nothing. The
plaintext column reserved for it is dropped, provably always null, and the
server now refuses a client that sends one; it was never populated, was copied
on apply, and was not cleared on delete, so a group id would have outlived the
host it described.

Snippets insert through xterm rather than through the pump, because xterm is
the only thing that knows whether the remote has bracketed paste on, and that
is what makes a shell treat embedded newlines as text instead of as execute.
The host process moves opaque bytes and never parses output, so it would have
to guess, and guessing wrong runs every line. Running is off by default and the
copy says the text goes into whatever is there — the terminal has no notion of
being at a prompt, and may be in vi or at a password prompt with echo off, so
the Enter the user presses themselves is the entire safety property.

Connections and keychain changes are recorded as synced encrypted items, which
is what makes them auditable by a team later and costs the server knowledge of
connection rate and timing from row counts alone. ADR 0001 already concedes it
cannot hide that class of metadata; the trade is now written into it rather
than left implicit. A connection entry is written once, at close, which is what
makes a synced log tractable: nothing to merge, one outbox row, no chance of
colliding with itself. Live sessions come from memory, not from the log. The
write is void by contract and posts to a bounded channel, because putting an
encrypt-and-write on the teardown path of every session is how closing the
application comes to take four seconds. A ticket opened before a lock still
closes afterwards, since a shell outlives the vault. The activity log hooks the
one generic repository every kind writes through, so it cannot miss a caller —
which is also why the log kinds themselves declare they are not audited, or the
first entry would write an entry about writing an entry. It records the names
of the fields that changed and never their values; a log with an old password
in it would be a plaintext credential store with no vault around it. Retention
is 90 days or 5,000 entries, whichever bites first, pruned on the sync loop
rather than on a second timer.

That log traffic then broke the status line, which is worth recording because
the fix is a shape and not a patch: background sync counted its own log rows as
pushed items, so the quiet rule stopped being quiet and every action's message
was overwritten a second later by a sync report. The report now separates log
rows from user items and the rule reads the latter.

S3 buckets appear as a remote in the file browser, behind the same interface an
SFTP session implements, so the queue and both panes did not have to learn what
they are talking to. Uploads go through a pipe, because the queue wants to
write and the SDK wants to read; memory is then bounded by the part size
instead of buffering a file to disk twice.

Finally, the Windows device key store moved out of the session project, which
was the one thing keeping it from being portable — everything else in it is
platform-neutral, and a Windows CNG dependency in the middle of the vault code
meant a second head could not reference it without dragging Windows along. The
seam that made the move free was already there. docs/android-port.md is the
audit behind that: what ports, what does not, in order of cost, the four
decisions taken, and an inventory of every screen and state the interface has
to carry, written so a design can be made from it directly.

dotnet build, dotnet test and dotnet format --verify-no-changes are all clean:
1240 tests at zero warnings, including the end-to-end suite against real
containers. The manual checks that headless Avalonia cannot make — the drag
from Explorer, a generated key against a real host, twelve tabs at the minimum
window width — are listed in docs/manual-checks.md and are still outstanding.

jaap-jan 3829217e8a Add sync engine: cursors, push/pull, and the advisory-lock ordering proof (M1)
The vault write path. Push is the only way items change — no per-entity POST/PUT/DELETE —
so one place enforces revisions, the change log and access control.

The concurrency hazard, now proven rather than asserted:
bigserial assigns sequence values when the INSERT runs, not at commit, so transaction A
can take sequence 5 while B takes 6 and commits first. A reader polling in between sees
only 6, advances past 5, and never learns about it. AdvisoryLockOrderingTests reproduces
that gap WITHOUT the lock first — otherwise the with-lock test proves nothing, since it
would pass just as happily if the interleaving never occurred — then shows
pg_advisory_xact_lock removes it, and that 12 concurrent writers produce no gaps.

Cursors are opaque and HMAC-tagged, and carry their vault id. 29 unit tests cover the
rejections, which are the point: an accepted-but-wrong cursor is silent data loss, strictly
worse than an error a client can resync from. Rejected: tampered tag, tampered payload,
foreign signing key, a legitimately-issued cursor from another vault, truncation, and
hostile input (never throws — cursors come from clients).

Push semantics:
- 200 even on partial failure, with per-operation status, so one stale item cannot block
  everything a client queued while offline.
- Conflict returns the server's current row for client-side three-way merge. The server
  cannot merge ciphertext, so never last-writer-wins.
- opId receipts make retries exactly-once per operation, not per batch — a client retrying
  a partially-overlapping batch after a timeout would otherwise double-apply what landed.
- A tombstone beats a late upsert, and delete clears hostname/port: leaving the address
  would keep the server able to resolve a host the user believes they deleted.
- Relay field validation mirrors the DB CHECK so a bad request is a clear Invalid rather
  than a constraint violation surfacing as a 500.

Authorization goes through IVaultAccessService, which returns the same answer for "absent"
and "forbidden" — distinguishing them is an existence oracle for other tenants' vault ids.
Team vaults are explicitly denied until M3 rather than falling through to a permissive
default. JIT provisioning keys on (issuer, subject), never email, and handles the
concurrent-first-request race via the unique index.

Renamed two domain types: Host -> SshHost, because Host collides with
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Host in every file of a web project, and SyncChange ->
VaultChange to stop it colliding with the Contracts DTO of the same name. Aliasing at every
use site would have been permanent friction.

Worth noting: `ef migrations has-pending-model-changes` reported clean after those renames
even though the snapshot still said "DodoSSH.Domain.Host" — it diffs tables, not CLR type
names. The snapshot was regenerated and the emitted DDL diffed against the previous
artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql to confirm the rename produced no schema change.

Also removed ConfigureAwait(false) from test methods: xUnit1030 flags it as bypassing
parallelization limits, which is why MA0004 is suppressed in test projects.

Verified: 0 warnings on a clean rebuild, 146 tests pass (up from 122), format clean.

Endpoint-level tests are the immediate next step: they need a WireMock OIDC/JWKS stub and
real JWT minting, so the "wrong user is denied" matrix does not exist yet for these two
routes. The service-layer authorization and the concurrency property are covered.

jaap-jan eaf68c86b0 Add data model, DbContext and initial migration (M1)
Schema for identity, vaults, grants, hosts and the sync change log, verified against a
real PostgreSQL 18 container rather than an in-memory provider: partial unique indexes,
CHECK constraints, citext and identity-always columns are all provider behaviour that an
in-memory fake would not exercise.

Invariants pushed into the database, so they hold even when application code has a bug:
- ck_host_relay_target is a security boundary, not tidiness. A host may carry a plaintext
  hostname and port ONLY when relay is deliberately enabled. Both directions are tested;
  the important one is that relay-disabled hosts cannot carry an address, since otherwise
  a bug would silently give the server infrastructure visibility it was never granted.
- ck_vault_owner: exactly one of owner_user_id or team_id, or permission resolution would
  have no defined answer.
- ck_vault_key_grant_recipient: member grants name a user; recovery and escrow grants are
  wrapped to a key and must not.
- ck_user_key_wrap_kdf: a password-derived wrap without its parameters is permanently
  unopenable, so a partial write is rejected outright.

Present from the first migration on purpose:
- GrantKind (Member/Recovery/Escrow). Recovery cannot be bolted on later — every vault
  created before it existed would be unrecoverable by design.
- team and team_membership, though team features are M3. Adding them later would mean
  introducing a foreign key on a live vault table.
- Host.ContentKeyId, reserved for per-item content keys wrapped to individual users.
- user_key as its own table, so key rotation does not require altering the user row.

Two things verified rather than assumed:
- Npgsql's UseXminAsConcurrencyToken helper no longer exists in EF 10, so xmin is mapped
  directly in XminConcurrency. The generated migration *looks* like it creates an xmin
  column; it does not. Confirmed by inspecting pg_attribute (attnum -2, a system column)
  and by grepping the emitted DDL. A test pins both, because had it created a real column
  PostgreSQL would have rejected the name.
- EF Core is now pinned centrally. The Npgsql provider asks for 10.0.4 while
  EntityFrameworkCore.Design pulls 10.0.10, and because Design is PrivateAssets=all that
  higher version does not flow to referencing projects — producing a CS1705 in any test
  project referencing Infrastructure.

Also commits artifacts/schema/v0.1.sql, the idempotent script, as the baseline for future
upgrade tests.

Verified: 0 warnings, 122 tests pass (27 new against Postgres), format clean.
