📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe documentation defines device-paired RSA-2048/AES-256-GCM encryption, legacy passphrase-based encryption, trust verification, key retention, message handling, rotation rules, and migration behavior. ChangesEncryption Documentation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR documents hybrid encryption but still leaves unresolved risks around private-key protection, public-key authenticity, interoperability, message-context authentication, key retention, plaintext fallback, and migration behavior. These could weaken privacy or cause message failures, so the changes should not merge until the protocol and migration rules are clarified and corrected. Possibly related PRs

Inline comments:
In `@docs/privacy/encryption.md`:
- Line 56: Update the AES-256-GCM encryption specification to authenticate
canonical context covering the device, message ID, field type, and key version
instead of using empty AAD; document the exact context encoding and require
identical AAD during decryption, or specify an equivalent authenticated-context
and replay-prevention mechanism.
- Line 39: Update the fenced code block in the encryption documentation to
include an explicit language identifier, such as text, or convert it to the
repository’s required indented code-block style so it satisfies markdownlint
rules MD040 and MD046.
- Around line 393-397: Update the device encryption selection behavior described
in the documentation so a missing publicKey never implicitly falls back to
plaintext: require explicit plaintext opt-in, or use legacy passphrase
encryption only when the caller configured a passphrase; otherwise fail closed
for E2E requests. Revise the affected statement while preserving the documented
legacy passphrase compatibility.
- Around line 61-63: Update the key-retention policy in the encryption
documentation so keys remain decryptable until all messages using that version
reach a terminal state, or define and enforce a maximum message lifetime that
bounds retention. Revise the three-key and seven-day wording to account for
pending, non-expiring, and future-scheduled messages, and replace the statement
that rotated-out versions are permanently undecryptable with the clarified
retention behavior.
- Around line 29-30: Update the Android key-generation and storage flow so API
21–22 RSA private keys are generated and retained using Android Keystore via
KeyPairGeneratorSpec rather than the encrypted app database; if a non-Keystore
fallback remains, document its threat model and reduced device-bound protection.
- Around line 31-32: The encryption documentation must define how clients
authenticate that each advertised publicKey belongs to the intended device
before claiming device-paired E2E. Update the device registration/update and
third-party device-listing sections, including the corresponding guidance near
the later key-distribution lines, to specify either a device-signed binding tied
to a trusted device identity or verified fingerprint/TOFU handling with an
explicit trusted-server assumption.
- Line 55: Update the RSA-OAEP documentation near the existing algorithm
description to explicitly state SHA-256 for both the OAEP digest and MGF1, with
an empty label, and add cross-language interoperability test vectors covering
these parameters.

In `@docs/privacy/encryption.md`:
- Line 422: Update the migration rule describing devices without a publicKey to
distinguish device-paired E2E from legacy passphrase encryption: state that
device-paired E2E is unavailable, passphrase encryption remains usable only when
the caller configured a passphrase, and all other cases fail closed.
