Docs and comments only; no behaviour change. Corrects ten overclaims the security review found: snapshot names are hashed but the hash uses no secret, so a guessed hostname and name can be confirmed; a blob is named by hex(SHA256(SHA256(uncompressed contents))), stated once in docs/REPOSTRUCTURE.md and referenced elsewhere; double hashing does not hide known content (blob packing does); age uses ChaCha20-Poly1305, not XChaCha20; encryption is required, not optional; a snapshot is marked complete before its metadata is uploaded; the export comment now matches its only caller; deep verify detects corruption, not authorship; adding a recipient does not reach existing data; restore examples target a user-owned directory.

Adds an Accepted Risks subsection under Security Considerations with the seven documented risks, cross-referenced from the README.

// Blobs in Vaultik are the final storage units uploaded to S3. Each blob is a
// large (up to 10GB) file containing many compressed and encrypted chunks from
// multiple source files. Blobs are content-addressed, meaning their filename
// is derived from their SHA256 hash after compression and encryption.
// multiple source files. Blobs are content-addressed: the filename in S3 is
// hex(SHA256(SHA256(uncompressed blob contents))), computed from the chunk data
