Closes #22.

Read the README top to bottom against the tree and ran every example in it as written, with the published test mnemonic. The ssh and age test vectors reproduce byte for byte; the default and custom comments are as documented; ssh priv, age priv, age encrypt and age decrypt behave as described, including the extra-recipient and wrong-identity cases. All four mnemonic sources and their precedence, the BIP-39 checksum refusal and the non-terminal refusal match. The child-mnemonic published vector is exercised by the test suite.

ssh install and ssh to were run against a throwaway local sshd started as an unprivileged user on a high localhost port, with throwaway host and client keys and a throwaway home, so no real ~/.ssh was read or written. install created .ssh at mode 0700 and the file at 0600, added the key, then reported already present on a second run; ssh to ran a remote command, passed ssh's exit status through, and a SIGTERM ended ssh and removed the agent directory.

Nothing in the README was untrue, so the only tree change is the TODO section, now reduced to the two open owner-decision issues.

Disclosures:

  • Judgement call: the review meta-issue #13 is left out of the TODO, which lists steps in the tree toward 1.0, not management issues.
  • A linter deprecation warning surfaced by make check (gomodguard) is filed as #31, not fixed here.
  • On SIGTERM, ssh reported its own status (255), which the README's "unless ssh reported one of its own" covers.

Model: opus-4-8

Closes https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/keyfunc/issues/22. Read the README top to bottom against the tree and ran every example in it as written, with the published test mnemonic. The ssh and age test vectors reproduce byte for byte; the default and custom comments are as documented; `ssh priv`, `age priv`, `age encrypt` and `age decrypt` behave as described, including the extra-recipient and wrong-identity cases. All four mnemonic sources and their precedence, the BIP-39 checksum refusal and the non-terminal refusal match. The child-mnemonic published vector is exercised by the test suite. `ssh install` and `ssh to` were run against a throwaway local `sshd` started as an unprivileged user on a high localhost port, with throwaway host and client keys and a throwaway home, so no real `~/.ssh` was read or written. `install` created `.ssh` at mode 0700 and the file at 0600, added the key, then reported `already present` on a second run; `ssh to` ran a remote command, passed ssh's exit status through, and a SIGTERM ended ssh and removed the agent directory. Nothing in the README was untrue, so the only tree change is the TODO section, now reduced to the two open owner-decision issues. Disclosures: - Judgement call: the review meta-issue https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/keyfunc/issues/13 is left out of the TODO, which lists steps in the tree toward 1.0, not management issues. - A linter deprecation warning surfaced by `make check` (gomodguard) is filed as https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/keyfunc/issues/31, not fixed here. - On SIGTERM, ssh reported its own status (255), which the README's "unless ssh reported one of its own" covers.

Ran every example in the README as written with the published test
mnemonic and compared output to the README, including ssh install and
ssh to against a local throwaway sshd. Every example behaved as the
README says, so no sentence needed fixing and no code defect was found.

Reduced the TODO section to the issues still open on the tracker,
dropping this issue's own line.

Findings:

  1. The README TODO list is missing an open pre-1.0 issue. In README.md, the "TODO" section says "The open issues that stand between the tree and a 1.0 release" and now lists only #14 and #15. #31, filed during this work, is an open, unresolved change to the tree (.golangci.yml) that sneak has not placed after 1.0. The list this PR trims previously held #22, itself a worker task, so the section is not limited to owner-decision issues; and issue 22's own definition of done is "No open issue remains that sneak has not explicitly placed after 1.0." By the section's own wording, #31 stands between the tree and 1.0 and belongs in the list. Acceptable: add the #31 line to the TODO section, or have sneak explicitly place that issue after 1.0 (owner decision), in which case it may stay out.

Disclosure: the single authoritative make check passed; its linter layer was served from cache because the Go sources are byte-for-byte identical to next (only README.md changed), while the tests ran freshly.

#31 has landed on next and is closed, so the review finding no longer applies: the TODO list on this branch already holds exactly the issues still open. No change to the branch; back to a fresh review against the current next.

Review passed.

Disclosures:

  • ssh install and ssh to were not run against a live server. The system ssh and sftp read the account's home directory and configuration from the password database rather than an overridden HOME, so an unprivileged throwaway sshd would either fail authentication or write the real ~/.ssh; per the brief nothing was installed there. Both README sections were read against the tree and are internally consistent with the rest of the code.
  • The published child-mnemonic vector derives from the specification master key and is not reachable from the command line; it was confirmed through the test suite.
  • The PR body sits right at the length guideline; I treated it as within tolerance rather than a finding.
