// The wrapped secrets live in the server's state document; the key that
// unwraps them does not. It comes from the environment, from a secret file
// an orchestrator provisioned, or from a file outside the data directory,
// so a copy of the data directory alone yields ciphertext. Whoever holds
// both holds the vaults.

//     misconfiguration to report, not a reason to mint a new key that would
//     fail to open any existing vault.
//  3. path, from -master-key-file or master_key_file in the configuration.
//     This one is created on first run if it is absent, which is what makes
//     a plain package install work with no setup.

// A file may hold the key as base64 text, with or without a trailing
