 ## What This Package Does
 
 Cryptographic primitives, authentication, and trust policy engine for the
-Lethean agent platform. Provides:
+Lethean agent platform. Three independent top-level packages:
 
-- Symmetric encryption — ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-256-GCM with Argon2id KDF
+- **`crypt/`** — Symmetric encryption (ChaCha20-Poly1305, AES-256-GCM), Argon2id
-- OpenPGP authentication — challenge-response (online + air-gapped courier mode)
+  KDF, password hashing, HMAC, checksums. Sub-packages: `chachapoly/`, `lthn/`,
-- Password hashing — Argon2id (primary) + Bcrypt (fallback)
+  `pgp/`, `rsa/`, `openpgp/`.
-- Trust policy engine — 3-tier agent access control with capability evaluation
+- **`auth/`** — OpenPGP challenge-response authentication (online + air-gapped
-- RSA — OAEP-SHA256 key generation and encryption (2048+ bit)
+  courier mode), password-based login with Argon2id→LTHN migration, session
-- LTHN hash — RFC-0004 quasi-salted deterministic hash (content IDs, NOT passwords)
+  management via `SessionStore` interface, key rotation and revocation.
+- **`trust/`** — 3-tier agent access control (`Registry`, `PolicyEngine`,
+  `ApprovalQueue`, `AuditLog`), capability evaluation with repo scope matching.
+
+Each package can be imported independently. Only `crypt/openpgp/` integrates
+with the Core framework's IPC system (`core.Crypt` interface).

 ## Local Dependencies
 
-| Module | Local Path | Notes |
+All `dappco.re/go/core/*` and remaining `forge.lthn.ai/core/*` modules are resolved through the Go workspace
-|--------|-----------|-------|
+(`~/Code/go.work`). Do not add replace directives to `go.mod` — use the
-| `forge.lthn.ai/core/go` | `../go` | Framework (core.E, core.Crypt, io.Medium) |
+workspace file instead.
-| `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-store` | `../go-store` | SQLite KV store (session persistence) |
 
-Do not change the replace directive paths. Use a `go.work` for local resolution
+| Module | Local Path | Purpose |
-if working outside the full monorepo.
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+| `dappco.re/go/core` | `../go` | Framework: `core.Crypt` interface, `io.Medium` |
+| `dappco.re/go/core/log` | `../go-log` | `coreerr.E()` contextual error wrapping |
+| `dappco.re/go/core/io` | `../go-io` | `io.Medium` storage abstraction |
+| `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-store` | `../go-store` | SQLite KV store (session persistence) |
+| `forge.lthn.ai/core/cli` | `../cli` | CLI framework for `cmd/crypt` commands |
+
+No C toolchain or CGo required — all crypto uses pure Go implementations.

 with a 12-byte nonce instead of the 24-byte XChaCha20 nonce.
 
-### Key Derivation (`kdf.go`)
+Both ciphers produce self-describing byte layouts. Callers must not alter
+the layout between encrypt and decrypt.
 
-Three KDF functions are provided:
+| Function | Cipher | Nonce | Wire Format |
+|----------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| `Encrypt` / `Decrypt` | XChaCha20-Poly1305 | 24 bytes | salt(16) + nonce(24) + ciphertext |
+| `EncryptAES` / `DecryptAES` | AES-256-GCM | 12 bytes | salt(16) + nonce(12) + ciphertext |
 
-| Function | Algorithm | Parameters |
+### Key Derivation (kdf.go)
-|----------|-----------|------------|
-| `DeriveKey` | Argon2id | Memory=64MB, Time=3, Parallelism=4, KeyLen=32 |
-| `DeriveKeyScrypt` | scrypt | N=32768, r=8, p=1 |
-| `HKDF` | HKDF-SHA256 | Variable key length, optional salt and info |
 
-Argon2id parameters are within the OWASP recommended range for interactive
+Three key derivation functions serve different use cases:
-logins. `HKDF` is used for key expansion when a high-entropy secret is already
-available (e.g. deriving sub-keys from a master key).
 
-### Low-Level Symmetric (`symmetric.go`)
+| Function | Algorithm | Parameters | Use Case |
+|----------|-----------|------------|----------|
+| `DeriveKey` | Argon2id | Memory=64MB, Time=3, Parallelism=4, KeyLen=32 | Primary KDF for passphrase-based encryption |

+low-entropy passphrases.
 
-### Password Hashing (`hash.go`)
+### Low-Level Symmetric Ciphers (symmetric.go)
 
-`HashPassword` produces an Argon2id format string:
+`ChaCha20Encrypt` and `AESGCMEncrypt` each generate a random nonce via
+`crypto/rand` and prepend it to the ciphertext. The corresponding decrypt
+functions extract the nonce from the front of the byte slice.
+
+```go
+// ChaCha20-Poly1305: 32-byte key required
+ciphertext, err := crypt.ChaCha20Encrypt(plaintext, key)
+plaintext, err := crypt.ChaCha20Decrypt(ciphertext, key)
+
+// AES-256-GCM: 32-byte key required
+ciphertext, err := crypt.AESGCMEncrypt(plaintext, key)
+plaintext, err := crypt.AESGCMDecrypt(ciphertext, key)
+```
+
+### Password Hashing (hash.go)
+
+`HashPassword` produces a self-describing Argon2id hash string:
 
 ```
 $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$<base64-salt>$<base64-hash>
 ```

+### HMAC (hmac.go)
 
-`HMACSHA256`/`HMACSHA512` return raw MAC bytes. `VerifyHMAC` uses
+Three functions for message authentication codes:
-`crypto/hmac.Equal` (constant-time) to compare a computed MAC against an
-expected value.
 
-### Checksums (`checksum.go`)
+- `HMACSHA256(message, key)` -- returns raw 32-byte MAC.
+- `HMACSHA512(message, key)` -- returns raw 64-byte MAC.
+- `VerifyHMAC(message, key, mac, hashFunc)` -- constant-time verification
+  using `crypto/hmac.Equal`.
 
-`SHA256File`/`SHA512File` compute checksums of files via streaming reads.
+### Checksums (checksum.go)
-`SHA256Sum`/`SHA512Sum` operate on byte slices. All return lowercase hex strings.
+
+File checksums use streaming reads to handle arbitrarily large files without
+loading them entirely into memory:
+
+```go
+hash, err := crypt.SHA256File("/path/to/file")  // hex string
+hash, err := crypt.SHA512File("/path/to/file")  // hex string
+
+// In-memory checksums
+hash := crypt.SHA256Sum(data)  // hex string

+```
+
+### crypt/openpgp/ -- Core Service Integration
+
+A service wrapper that implements the `core.Crypt` interface from
+`forge.lthn.ai/core/go`. This is the only component in go-crypt that
+integrates with the Core framework's IPC system.
+
+```go
+import "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-crypt/crypt/openpgp"
+
+// Register as a Core service
+core.New(core.WithService(openpgp.New))
+
+// Handles the "openpgp.create_key_pair" IPC action

 ### Policy Engine
 
-`NewPolicyEngine(registry)` loads default policies. Evaluation order in
+`NewPolicyEngine(registry)` creates an engine with default policies.
-`Evaluate(agentName, cap, repo)`:
+`Evaluate` returns one of three decisions:
 
-1. Agent not in registry → Deny.
+```go
-2. No policy for agent's tier → Deny.
+engine := trust.NewPolicyEngine(registry)
-3. Capability in `Denied` list → Deny.
+result := engine.Evaluate("Clotho", trust.CapPushRepo, "core/go-crypt")
-4. Capability in `RequiresApproval` list → NeedsApproval.
-5. Capability in `Allowed` list:
-   - If repo-scoped capability and `len(agent.ScopedRepos) > 0`: check repo
-     against scope patterns → Deny if no match.
-   - Otherwise → Allow.
-6. Capability not in any list → Deny.
 
-Default policies by tier:
+switch result.Decision {
+case trust.Allow:
+    // Proceed
+case trust.Deny:
+    // Reject with result.Reason
+case trust.NeedsApproval:
+    // Submit to ApprovalQueue

 ### Repo Scope Matching
 
-`matchScope(pattern, repo)` supports three forms:
+Tier 2 agents can have their repository access restricted via `ScopedRepos`.
+Three pattern types are supported:
 
 | Pattern | Matches | Does Not Match |
 |---------|---------|----------------|
-| `core/go-crypt` | `core/go-crypt` | `core/go-crypt/sub` |
+| `core/go-crypt` | `core/go-crypt` (exact) | `core/go-crypt/sub` |
-| `core/*` | `core/go-crypt` | `core/go-crypt/sub` |
+| `core/*` | `core/go-crypt`, `core/php` | `core/go-crypt/sub`, `other/repo` |
-| `core/**` | `core/go-crypt`, `core/go-crypt/sub` | `other/repo` |
+| `core/**` | `core/go-crypt`, `core/php/sub`, `core/a/b/c` | `other/repo` |
 
-Empty `ScopedRepos` on a Tier 2 agent is treated as unrestricted (no scope
+Wildcards are only supported at the end of patterns.
-check is applied). See known limitations in `docs/history.md` (Finding F3).
 
 ### Approval Queue
 
-`ApprovalQueue` is a thread-safe queue for `NeedsApproval` decisions. It is
+When the policy engine returns `NeedsApproval`, the caller is responsible
-separate from the `PolicyEngine` — the engine returns `NeedsApproval` as a
+for submitting the request to an `ApprovalQueue`:
-decision, and the caller is responsible for submitting to the queue and polling
+
-for resolution. The queue tracks: submitting agent, capability, repo context,
+```go
-status (pending/approved/denied), reviewer identity, and timestamps.
+queue := trust.NewApprovalQueue()
+
+// Submit a request
+id, err := queue.Submit("Clotho", trust.CapMergePR, "core/go-crypt")
+
+// Review pending requests
+for _, req := range queue.Pending() { ... }
+
+// Approve or deny
+queue.Approve(id, "admin", "Looks good")
+queue.Deny(id, "admin", "Not yet authorised")
+
+// Check status
+req := queue.Get(id)  // req.Status == trust.ApprovalApproved
+```
+
+The queue is thread-safe and tracks timestamps, reviewer identity, and
+reasons for each decision.
 
 ### Audit Log
 
-`AuditLog` records every policy evaluation as an `AuditEntry`. Entries are
+Every policy evaluation can be recorded in an append-only audit log:
-stored in-memory and optionally streamed as JSON lines to an `io.Writer` for
+
-persistence. `Decision` marshals to/from string (`"allow"`, `"deny"`,
+```go
-`"needs_approval"`). `EntriesFor(agent)` filters by agent name.
+log := trust.NewAuditLog(os.Stdout)  // or nil for in-memory only
+
+result := engine.Evaluate("Clotho", trust.CapPushRepo, "core/php")
+log.Record(result, "core/php")
+
+// Query entries
+entries := log.Entries()
+agentEntries := log.EntriesFor("Clotho")
+for e := range log.EntriesForSeq("Clotho") { ... }
+```
+
+When an `io.Writer` is provided, each entry is serialised as a JSON line
+for persistent storage. The `Decision` type marshals to and from string
+values (`"allow"`, `"deny"`, `"needs_approval"`).

+  duplication but requires updating all importers.
+- **Hardware key interface**: contract-only, no concrete implementations.
+- **Session cleanup logging**: uses `fmt.Printf` rather than a structured
+  logger. Callers needing structured logs should wrap the cleanup goroutine.
+- **Rate limiting**: the `Agent.RateLimit` field is stored but never
+  enforced. Enforcement belongs in a higher-level middleware layer.

+
+# go-crypt
+
+**Module**: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-crypt`
+**Licence**: EUPL-1.2
+**Language**: Go 1.26
+
+Cryptographic primitives, authentication, and trust policy engine for the
+Lethean agent platform. Provides symmetric encryption, password hashing,
+OpenPGP authentication with both online and air-gapped modes, RSA key
+management, deterministic content hashing, and a three-tier agent access
+control system with an audit log and approval queue.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+import (
+    "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-crypt/crypt"
+    "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-crypt/auth"
+    "forge.lthn.ai/core/go-crypt/trust"
+)
+```
+
+### Encrypt and Decrypt Data
+
+The default cipher is XChaCha20-Poly1305 with Argon2id key derivation. A
+random salt and nonce are generated automatically and prepended to the
+ciphertext.
+
+```go
+// Encrypt with ChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id KDF
+ciphertext, err := crypt.Encrypt(plaintext, []byte("my passphrase"))
+
+// Decrypt
+plaintext, err := crypt.Decrypt(ciphertext, []byte("my passphrase"))
+
+// Or use AES-256-GCM instead
+ciphertext, err := crypt.EncryptAES(plaintext, []byte("my passphrase"))
+plaintext, err := crypt.DecryptAES(ciphertext, []byte("my passphrase"))
+```
+
+### Hash and Verify Passwords
+
+```go
+// Hash with Argon2id (recommended)
+hash, err := crypt.HashPassword("hunter2")
+// Returns: $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$<salt>$<hash>
+
+// Verify (constant-time comparison)
+match, err := crypt.VerifyPassword("hunter2", hash)
+```
+
+### OpenPGP Authentication
+
+```go
+// Create an authenticator backed by a storage medium
+a := auth.New(medium,
+    auth.WithSessionStore(sqliteStore),
+    auth.WithSessionTTL(8 * time.Hour),
+)
+
+// Register a user (generates PGP keypair, stores credentials)
+user, err := a.Register("alice", "password123")
+
+// Password-based login (bypasses PGP challenge-response)
+session, err := a.Login(userID, "password123")
+
+// Validate a session token
+session, err := a.ValidateSession(token)
+```
+
+### Trust Policy Evaluation
+
+```go
+// Set up a registry and register agents
+registry := trust.NewRegistry()
+registry.Register(trust.Agent{
+    Name: "Athena",
+    Tier: trust.TierFull,
+})
+registry.Register(trust.Agent{
+    Name:        "Clotho",
+    Tier:        trust.TierVerified,
+    ScopedRepos: []string{"core/*"},
+})
+
+// Evaluate capabilities
+engine := trust.NewPolicyEngine(registry)
+result := engine.Evaluate("Athena", trust.CapPushRepo, "core/go-crypt")
+// result.Decision == trust.Allow
+
+result = engine.Evaluate("Clotho", trust.CapMergePR, "core/go-crypt")
+// result.Decision == trust.NeedsApproval
+```
+
+## Package Layout
+
+| Package | Import Path | Description |
+|---------|-------------|-------------|
+| `crypt` | `go-crypt/crypt` | High-level encrypt/decrypt (ChaCha20 + AES), password hashing, HMAC, checksums, key derivation |
+| `crypt/chachapoly` | `go-crypt/crypt/chachapoly` | Standalone ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD wrapper |
+| `crypt/lthn` | `go-crypt/crypt/lthn` | RFC-0004 quasi-salted deterministic hash for content identifiers |
+| `crypt/pgp` | `go-crypt/crypt/pgp` | OpenPGP key generation, encryption, decryption, signing, verification |
+| `crypt/rsa` | `go-crypt/crypt/rsa` | RSA-OAEP-SHA256 key generation and encryption (2048+ bit) |
+| `crypt/openpgp` | `go-crypt/crypt/openpgp` | Service wrapper implementing the `core.Crypt` interface with IPC support |
+| `auth` | `go-crypt/auth` | OpenPGP challenge-response authentication, session management, key rotation/revocation |
+| `trust` | `go-crypt/trust` | Agent trust model, policy engine, approval queue, audit log |
+| `cmd/crypt` | `go-crypt/cmd/crypt` | CLI commands: `crypt encrypt`, `crypt decrypt`, `crypt hash`, `crypt keygen`, `crypt checksum` |
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+The `cmd/crypt` package registers a `crypt` command group with the `core` CLI:
+
+```bash
+# Encrypt a file (ChaCha20-Poly1305 by default)
+core crypt encrypt myfile.txt -p "passphrase"
+core crypt encrypt myfile.txt --aes -p "passphrase"
+
+# Decrypt
+core crypt decrypt myfile.txt.enc -p "passphrase"
+
+# Hash a password
+core crypt hash "my password"           # Argon2id
+core crypt hash "my password" --bcrypt  # Bcrypt
+
+# Verify a password against a hash
+core crypt hash "my password" --verify '$argon2id$v=19$...'
+
+# Generate a random key
+core crypt keygen                       # 32 bytes, hex
+core crypt keygen -l 64 --base64       # 64 bytes, base64
+
+# Compute file checksums
+core crypt checksum myfile.txt          # SHA-256
+core crypt checksum myfile.txt --sha512
+core crypt checksum myfile.txt --verify "abc123..."
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+| Module | Role |
