The remote layout and threat model in three documents described plaintext
snapshot IDs as directory names and misattributed the observable backup
time to those IDs. In fact `RemoteSnapshotKey` names each metadata
directory (and the manifest `snapshot_id`) with a one-way double SHA-256
hash of the human ID, so hostname and snapshot name are not observable;
the backup time is, via the plaintext manifest timestamp, an accepted
design property (issue 81).
Document the derivation once in `docs/REPOSTRUCTURE.md` with a worked
example; README, ARCHITECTURE and DATAMODEL now show the hashed layout and
link to it. Rewrite the privacy section to state what the unencrypted
manifest really exposes. Fix two code comments that claimed the public
bytes hide the timestamp. Docs and comments only; no behaviour change.
Model: opus-4-8
- Manifests are now only compressed (not encrypted) so pruning operations can work without private keys
- Updated generateBlobManifest to use zstd compression directly
- Updated prune command to handle unencrypted manifests
- Updated snapshot list command to handle new manifest format
- Updated documentation to reflect manifest.json.zst (not .age)
- Removed unnecessary VAULTIK_PRIVATE_KEY check from prune command
