The command no longer sends a shell script to the host. It fetches
~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the system sftp in batch mode, adds the key
line here, and writes the file back in a second session: mkdir and chmod
on ~/.ssh, put to authorized_keys.keyfunc-<random>, chmod 600, rename
over authorized_keys. Adding the line connects twice.
The file reads as empty only when sftp reported it as not there, in the
line naming that path; the same wording elsewhere -- ssh writes it about
an identity file it cannot find -- does not count, so a file that cannot
be read is never written over. A failed step removes nothing and names
the uploaded file once sftp's echo shows the put was reached.

keyfunc ssh install appends the public line on a host through the system ssh, only when absent, feeding the line on standard input; keyfunc ssh to serves the derived key from an in-process agent on a private socket and runs the system ssh with it, the private key never on disk. Two review rounds; the second passed with no findings.

keyfunc age derives an age identity at the generic path the way secret's agehd does, prints the recipient or the identity, and encrypts to or decrypts with it, the derived recipient always among encrypt's recipients. Two review rounds; the second passed with no findings, the clamping step now pinned by a fixed identity test.

keyfunc mnemonic derives a 12, 18 or 24 word child mnemonic through BIP-85's own mnemonic application, with the specification's test vectors as tests. One review round, passed with no findings; the reviewer reproduced the vectors from an implementation written from the specification alone.

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.

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.
