adlee-was-taken 1758edd5c8 docs: add STATUS/ROADMAP/FORMATS and update CLAUDE.md planning guidance
Introduce three new ALLCAPS.md tracking files:
- STATUS.md: living doc of in-flight work and what shipped in v0.5.0
- ROADMAP.md: full roadmap extracted from CLAUDE.md + expanded with all specced work
- FORMATS.md: wire-format quick-reference (.enc blobs, params.json, devices.json, etc.)

Update CLAUDE.md to replace the single-spec "Design spec" section with a
"Planning & design specs" section that instructs checking docs/superpowers/specs/
and docs/superpowers/plans/ before any planning or implementation work.
Also add the rule to update STATUS.md after every dev iteration, and replace
the stale v0.5.0-in-progress roadmap paragraph with references to the new files.

# CLAUDE.md — Relicario
## Working with the user
- **Default to "yes" / the recommended option.** When asking the user a multiple-choice or yes/no decision, pick the recommended answer and proceed without prompting. Optional follow-ups in checklists: do them. Subagent dispatch / running tests / writing code: proceed without checking.
- **Always pause and ask** before: `rm`, `rm -rf`, `git push --force`, `git reset --hard`, `git branch -D`, deleting files via Bash, dropping tables, force-pushing to main. The system-prompt's "executing actions with care" guidance still applies — this preference does not override that.
- This rule does not override genuine intent-discovery: brainstorming-skill clarifying questions about *what to build* still need user input, because picking a default would mean designing the wrong product.
- **Sprinkle Mexican Spanish into replies.** Drop 12 Spanish words, slang, exclamations, or idioms per reply (replies only — never in code, file contents, commit messages, or other project artifacts), each followed by `[translation]` in square brackets. Mexican flavor is preferred: ¡órale! [alright!], ¡híjole! [yikes!], ¿qué onda? [what's up?], chido [cool], ahorita [right now / in a bit], no manches [no way], ni modo [oh well], no hay bronca [no problem], ¡ya estuvo! [it's done], etc. Skip in one-word acknowledgements where the flourish would feel awkward.
## What is this
Relicario is a git-backed, self-hostable password manager with a Rust core. Two-factor vault decryption: passphrase + a reference JPEG carrying a 256-bit secret embedded via DCT steganography. The server only ever sees opaque ciphertext.
## Build and test
```bash
cargo build # build everything
cargo test # run all tests (unit + integration)
cargo test -p relicario-core # core library tests only
cargo test -p relicario-cli --test basic_flows # CLI integration tests
cargo build -p relicario-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown # WASM target
cargo run -p relicario-cli -- --help # CLI help
cargo run -p relicario-cli -- generate --length 32 # quick smoke test
```

```
## Key design decisions
- **relicario-core is bytes-in/bytes-out.** No filesystem, no network, no git operations. Makes it portable to WASM, Android, iOS.
- **XChaCha20-Poly1305** over AES-GCM — 192-bit nonce eliminates collision risk, fast in WASM/ARM without AES-NI.
- **Single master_key** (no per-entry subkeys) — simpler, sufficient for family vault sizes.
- **imgsecret uses central-embed DCT** — embeds only in the middle 70% of the image (15% crumple zone for crop tolerance), with majority voting across 5-50 redundant copies.
- **QUANT_STEP = 50.0** — higher than typical (25) to survive JPEG recompression down to Q85.
- **Device ed25519 keys are separate from the KDF.** Revoking a device doesn't require rotating the passphrase or reference image.
## Crypto pipeline
```
passphrase (UTF-8 bytes) || image_secret (32 bytes from reference JPEG)
→ Argon2id(salt=vault_salt, m=64MiB, t=3, p=4)
→ master_key (32 bytes)
→ XChaCha20-Poly1305(nonce=random 24 bytes)
→ encrypted Item/Manifest/VaultSettings
```
## Conventions
- Tests use fast Argon2id params (m=256, t=1, p=1) so they don't take forever.
- Test JPEGs are generated synthetically via `make_test_jpeg()` — no binary test fixtures.
- Item IDs and Field IDs are random 16-char hex strings (64 bits of OsRng entropy). AttachmentIds are content-addressed: first 32 hex chars of SHA-256 over the plaintext (128 bits).
- Git history is preserved as an audit log — no squashing.
- The CLI shells out to `git` for sync — no libgit2/gitoxide dependency.

## Planning & design specs
**Before starting any planning or implementation task**, search `docs/superpowers/specs/` for a spec covering the feature area, and `docs/superpowers/plans/` for any existing implementation plan. The specs are the authoritative design record; plans track per-milestone implementation details.
Core references (read before touching crypto, data model, or architecture):
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-11-relicario-design.md` — threat model, entropy analysis, crypto pipeline, crate layout
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-18-relicario-typed-items-design.md` — typed-item data model and envelope
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-relicario-fullscreen-ux-redesign-design.md` — fullscreen UX phase plan
After completing any dev iteration, update `STATUS.md` to reflect what shipped and what's now in flight.
## Roadmap & status
