Extends the A5 pre-stage now that dev-b's full B-stream (item CRUD + all 19 org subcommands) merged to main (7392795). Living docs: - FORMATS/CRYPTO/SECURITY/DESIGN: flip the item-CRUD "pending Dev-B" markers to shipped; SECURITY audit vocabulary moves item-* actions to live. - crates/relicario-cli/ARCHITECTURE.md: full 19-subcommand surface (12 admin + 7 item CRUD), accurate OrgAddKind scope (Login/SecureNote/Identity). - STATUS.md: enterprise-org-vault landed section (merged7392795) + tracked follow-ups + honest known-limitations; correct spec citation. - ROADMAP.md: backend-complete row + phase-2 follow-ups. - CHANGELOG.md: finalize the enterprise-org-vault Unreleased section (item CRUD into Added; Card/Key/Document/Totp + extension + phase-2 into Deferred). Code (PM-directed dead_code fixes): wire device::current_device_seed by removing the identical duplicate private fn in org_session.rs (de-dup); #[allow(dead_code)] + justification on org_session org_meta_path/load_meta (API completeness, no command consumes org.json yet). Also silence a 3rd pre-existing test-only warning (unused relicario() helper in tests/org_init_signing.rs). Honest deferrals kept explicit throughout: Card/Key/Document/Totp org add/edit parity, extension org switch/read (Dev-D) + writes, phase-2 (SSO/LDAP, read audit, per-collection subkeys, HTTP plane). Full workspace cargo test green, zero warnings. All cited code constants pinned file:line.

## Vault Creation Flow

Item creation, the typed-item envelope (`Item` + per-type `ItemCore`),
|
||
attachment encryption, and field-history tracking are not shown above —
|
||
they are described in [`crates/relicario-core/ARCHITECTURE.md`](../crates/relicario-core/ARCHITECTURE.md).
|
||
The flow above covers only the crypto-pipeline shape that vault init
|
||
establishes; the per-item lifecycle reuses the same `master_key` +
|
||
XChaCha20-Poly1305 primitives against `items/<id>.enc` and
|
||
`attachments/<item-id>/<aid>.enc`.
|
||

||
## Org-key ECIES wrap/unwrap
|
||
|
||
Org vaults use a different key-derivation path than personal vaults. There is no
|
||
passphrase, no reference JPEG, and no Argon2id involved. Instead, each org has a
|
||
single random **org master key** that is wrapped per-member using X25519 ECIES and
|
||
stored as an opaque blob in `keys/<member-id>.enc` inside the org repo.
|
||
|
||
### Org master key
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
generate_org_key() (org.rs:230)
|
||
→ OsRng → 256-bit random
|
||
→ Zeroizing<[u8; 32]> (held in memory; never written in the clear)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
One org key per org. It is re-generated on every `org rotate-key` operation.
|
||
|
||
### ed25519 → X25519 conversion
|
||
|
||
Each Relicario device holds an ed25519 signing key. To participate in ECIES the
|
||
ed25519 key pair must be mapped to X25519:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Recipient public key (for wrap):
|
||
ed25519 VerifyingKey
|
||
→ .to_montgomery() (birational Montgomery map, ed25519_dalek)
|
||
→ X25519 PublicKey
|
||
|
||
Recipient secret key (for unwrap):
|
||
ed25519 seed (32 bytes)
|
||
→ SHA-512(seed)[..32] (org.rs:241–242)
|
||
→ RFC 7748 clamp:
|
||
scalar[0] &= 248
|
||
scalar[31] &= 127
|
||
scalar[31] |= 64
|
||
→ x25519_dalek::StaticSecret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The RFC 7748 clamp and the `to_montgomery()` birational map are the standard
|
||
construction; a pinned RFC 8032 known-answer vector is verified in the unit tests
|
||
inside `org.rs`.
|
||
|
||
### Wrap flow (one blob per member)
|
||
|
||
```

||

||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Unwrap flow
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
┌──────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||
│ unwrap_org_key() │ (org.rs:299)
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|

|
||
│ │
|
||
│ kdf_input + SHA-256 → wrap_key │
|
||
│ (same domain-separated KDF as wrap) │
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ plaintext = crate::crypto::decrypt │
|
||
│ (wrap_key, rest) │
|
||
│ → Zeroizing<[u8;32]> org_key │
|
||
└──────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Key distinction: no Argon2id
|
||
|
||
Unlike the personal vault, **org crypto bypasses Argon2id entirely**:
|
||
|
||
| | Personal vault | Org vault |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Key origin | Argon2id(passphrase ‖ image_secret, salt) | OsRng → 256-bit random |
|
||
| Key transport | Embedded in reference JPEG (stego) | X25519 ECIES wrap blob |
|
||
| AEAD primitive | XChaCha20-Poly1305 (`crate::crypto::encrypt`) | Same primitive (delegated) |
|
||
| KDF for wrap key | Argon2id | SHA-256(DH ‖ eph_pk ‖ rec_pk) |
|
||
|
||
The inner AEAD (`crate::crypto::encrypt` / `decrypt`) is **not re-implemented** in
|
||
the org module — it is called directly, so org item blobs share the identical
|
||
`version(1) ‖ nonce(24) ‖ ct+tag` wire format (`VERSION_BYTE = 0x02`,
|
||
`crates/relicario-core/src/crypto.rs:59`).
|
||
|
||
### Zeroize discipline
|
||
|
||
All intermediates that carry key material are dropped through `Zeroizing`:
|
||
|
||
- `org_key` — `Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>` everywhere it is passed
|
||
- `kdf_input` — `Zeroizing<Vec<u8>>` (org.rs:278)
|
||
- `wrap_key` — `Zeroizing<[u8; 32]>`
|
||
- decrypt `plaintext` in `unwrap_org_key` — `Zeroizing<Vec<u8>>`
|
||
|
||
### Key rotation and re-encryption
|
||
|
||
`org rotate-key` (`crates/relicario-cli/src/commands/org.rs:332`) does more than
|
||
generate a fresh org key:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
run_rotate_key()
|
||
1. git pull --rebase (detect concurrent rotation → abort if non-fast-forward)
|
||
2. generate_org_key() → new_org_key
|
||
3. wrap_org_key(new_org_key, member_pk) for every current member
|
||
→ overwrites keys/<member-id>.enc
|
||
4. re-encrypt every items/<slug>/<id>.enc blob under new_org_key
|
||
5. re-encrypt manifest.enc under new_org_key
|
||
6. git add + git commit via org_git_run (signed; Relicario-Action: key-rotate)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`rotate-key` pulls (`--rebase`) at the start to pick up concurrent changes and
|
||
abort on a conflicting concurrent rotation, then commits locally; it does **not**
|
||
push. Publishing the rotation to the remote is a separate step (the normal git
|
||
sync path), the same way personal-vault mutations commit locally and sync later.
|
||
|
||
Re-encryption of every item blob (step 4) is deliberate: a removed member who holds
|
||
a local clone of the repo cannot decrypt any item written after the rotation, because
|
||
those blobs are sealed under a key they never received. Without re-encryption, all
|
||
pre-rotation blobs would remain readable to the former member indefinitely.
|
||
|
||
The item-CRUD commands (`org add`/`get`/`list`/`edit`/`rm`/`restore`/`purge`) that read and write these blobs are merged and wired into `main.rs`; each operates under the org master key recovered by `unwrap_org_key`.

Images that cannot fit at least 5 copies are rejected before embed. Majority voting across these copies at extract time requires ≥ 60 % confidence per bit.
