Verified the security subsystem's design-doc claims against code:
- KEY-05's foundational claims are accurate: entropy::draw_key_bytes exists,
KeyGenRng is sealed with OsRng as its sole production member, MIN_GUARDED_LEN
is 12, and core/clippy.toml bans rand::random/thread_rng exactly as stated.
- But its per-site table listed every production nonce/key site as disposition
"migrate" (pending), when all of them have since been migrated to
draw_key_bytes(OsRng) — storage_crypto, credentials/store, wallet/bdhke,
mesh/x3dh — and zero rand::random/thread_rng remain in production. Added a
completion note so the doc no longer reads as pending work.
Both KEY-05 and PSBT-SIGNING-ARCHITECTURE referenced
ENTROPY-SEED-AUDIT-2026-07-31.md five times as their evidence base — a doc that
was moved to local-only, so a public reader could not follow it. Reworded all
five to state the audit's findings inline ("the internal entropy audit found
...") without the unresolvable path. No published doc references it now. The
link-checker missed these because they were inline code, not markdown links.

Archipelago documentation
Start here. This index groups the docs by what you're trying to do. The
authoritative behaviour is always the code in core/; where a doc and the code
disagree, the code wins and the doc is a bug.
