The application number is 657169, so the path is
m/83696968'/657169'/<n>'. The 32 derived bytes are clamped the way
X25519 requires and go through bech32 into an age identity, which is
the only route age offers from raw bytes to a key; these are the steps
sneak/secret takes in its agehd package.
The derived recipient is always first in the recipient list, so the
mnemonic that encrypted a file can always read it back. Decrypting
recognises the text form by the line it starts with, so it needs no
flag. A file named with -o is created readable only by its owner,
since a decrypted one is as secret as what went into it.
Model: opus-5
The module, the script entrypoints and Makefile, Docker-only linting, the mnemonic sources in the specified order with their refusals, the BIP-85 derivation, and keyfunc ssh pub and priv with the README test vectors as tests. Two review rounds; the second passed with no findings.
Model: opus-5 (implementation and review); fable-5-1 (landing)
The README is the specification sneak approved on 2026-09-07, moved
here from the hacks repository: deterministic SSH keys, age identities
with encrypt and decrypt, and child mnemonics, all derived from one
BIP-39 mnemonic and stored nowhere.
Model: fable-5-1
