Make add idempotent: skip already-tracked files instead of erroring.

Enables glob workflows like `sgard add ~/.config/mcp/services/*` to
pick up new files without failing on ones already tracked.

+## gRPC Protocol
+
+The GardenSync service uses four RPCs for sync plus one for maintenance:
+
+```
+service GardenSync {
+  rpc PushManifest(PushManifestRequest) returns (PushManifestResponse);
+  rpc PushBlobs(stream PushBlobsRequest) returns (PushBlobsResponse);
+  rpc PullManifest(PullManifestRequest) returns (PullManifestResponse);
+  rpc PullBlobs(PullBlobsRequest) returns (stream PullBlobsResponse);
+  rpc Prune(PruneRequest) returns (PruneResponse);
+}
+```
+
+**Push flow:** Client sends manifest → server compares `manifest.Updated`
+timestamps → if client newer, server returns list of missing blob hashes →
+client streams those blobs (64 KiB chunks) → server replaces its manifest.
+
+**Pull flow:** Client requests server manifest → compares timestamps locally →
+if server newer, requests missing blobs → server streams them → client
+replaces its manifest.
+
+**Last timestamp wins** for conflict resolution (single-user, personal sync).
+
+## Authentication
+
+Authentication is designed to be transparent — the user never explicitly
+logs in or manages credentials. It uses SSH keys they already have.
+
+### Overview
+
+Two mechanisms, layered:
+
+1. **SSH key signing** — used to obtain a token or when no valid token exists
+2. **JWT token** — used for all subsequent requests, cached on disk
+
+From the user's perspective, authentication is automatic. The client
+handles token acquisition, caching, and renewal without prompting.
+
+### Token-Based Auth (Primary Path)
+
+The server issues signed JWT tokens valid for 30 days. The client caches
+the token and attaches it as gRPC metadata on every call.
+
+```
+service GardenSync {
+  rpc Authenticate(AuthenticateRequest) returns (AuthenticateResponse);
+  // ... other RPCs
+}
+```
+
+**Authenticate RPC:**
+- Client sends an SSH-signed challenge (nonce + timestamp + public key)
+- Server verifies the signature against its `authorized_keys` file
+- Server returns a JWT signed with its own secret key
+- JWT claims: public key fingerprint, issued-at, 30-day expiry
+
+**Normal request flow:**
+1. Client reads cached token from `$XDG_STATE_HOME/sgard/token`
+   (falls back to `~/.local/state/sgard/token`)
+2. Client attaches token as `x-sgard-auth-token` gRPC metadata
+3. Server verifies JWT signature and expiry
+4. If valid → request proceeds
+
+**Token rejection — two cases:**
+
+The server distinguishes between an expired-but-previously-valid token
+and a completely invalid one:
+
+- **Expired token** (valid signature, known fingerprint still in
+  authorized_keys, but past expiry): server returns `Unauthenticated`
+  with a `ReauthChallenge` — a server-generated nonce embedded in the
+  error details. This is the fast path.
+
+- **Invalid token** (bad signature, unknown fingerprint, corrupted):
+  server returns a plain `Unauthenticated` with no challenge. The client
+  falls back to the full Authenticate flow.
+
+**Fast re-auth flow (expired token, transparent to user):**
+1. Client sends request with expired token
+2. Server returns `Unauthenticated` + `ReauthChallenge{nonce, timestamp}`
+3. Client signs the server-provided nonce+timestamp with SSH key
+4. Client calls `Authenticate` with the signature
+5. Server verifies, issues new JWT
+6. Client caches new token to disk
+7. Client retries the original request with the new token
+
+This saves a round trip compared to full re-auth — the server provides
+the nonce, so the client doesn't need to generate one and hope it's
+accepted. The server controls the challenge, which also prevents any
+client-side nonce reuse.
+
+**Full auth flow (no valid token, transparent to user):**
+1. Client has no cached token or token is completely invalid
+2. Client calls `Authenticate` with a self-generated nonce+timestamp,
+   signed with SSH key
+3. Server verifies, issues JWT
+4. Client caches token, proceeds with original request
+
+### SSH Key Signing
+
+Used during the `Authenticate` RPC to prove possession of an authorized
+SSH private key. The challenge can come from the server (re-auth fast
+path) or be generated by the client (initial auth).
+
+**Challenge payload:** `nonce (32 random bytes) || timestamp (big-endian int64)`
+
+**Authenticate RPC request fields:**
+- `nonce` — 32-byte nonce (from server's ReauthChallenge or client-generated)
+- `timestamp` — Unix seconds
+- `signature` — SSH signature over (nonce || timestamp)
+- `public_key` — SSH public key in authorized_keys format
+
+**Server verification:**
+- Parse public key, check fingerprint against `authorized_keys` file
+- Verify SSH signature over the payload
+- Check timestamp is within 5-minute window (prevents replay)
+
+### Server-Side Token Management
+
+The server does not store tokens. JWTs are stateless — the server signs
+them with a secret key and verifies its own signature on each request.
+
+**Secret key:** Generated on first startup, stored at `<repo>/jwt.key`
+(32 random bytes). If the key file is deleted, all outstanding tokens
+become invalid and clients re-authenticate automatically.
+
+**No revocation mechanism.** For a single-user personal sync tool,
+revocation is unnecessary. Removing a key from `authorized_keys`
+prevents new token issuance. Existing tokens expire naturally within
+30 days. Deleting `jwt.key` invalidates all tokens immediately.
+
+### Client-Side Token Storage
+
+Token cached at `$XDG_STATE_HOME/sgard/token` (per XDG Base Directory
+spec, state is "data that should persist between restarts but isn't
+important enough to back up"). Falls back to `~/.local/state/sgard/token`.
+
+The token file contains the raw JWT string. File permissions are set to
+`0600`.
+
+### Key Resolution
+
+SSH key resolution order (for initial authentication):
+1. `--ssh-key` flag (explicit path to private key)
+2. `SGARD_SSH_KEY` environment variable
+3. ssh-agent (if `SSH_AUTH_SOCK` is set, uses first available key)
+4. Default paths: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`
+
+## Encryption
+
+sgard supports optional at-rest encryption for individual files.
+Encryption is per-file, not per-repo — any file can be marked as
+encrypted at add time. A repo may contain a mix of encrypted and
+plaintext blobs.
+
+### Key Hierarchy
+
+A two-layer key hierarchy separates the encryption key from the user's
+secret (passphrase or FIDO2 key):
+
+```
+User Secret (passphrase or FIDO2 hmac-secret)
+    │
+    ▼
+KEK (Key Encryption Key) — derived from user secret
+    │
+    ▼
+DEK (Data Encryption Key) — random, encrypts/decrypts file blobs
+```
+
+**DEK (Data Encryption Key):**
+- 256-bit random key, generated once when encryption is first enabled
+- Used with XChaCha20-Poly1305 (AEAD) to encrypt file blobs
+- Never stored in plaintext — always wrapped by the KEK
+- Each KEK source stores its own wrapped copy in the manifest
+  (`encryption.kek_sources[].wrapped_dek`, base64-encoded)
+
+**KEK (Key Encryption Key):**
+- Derived from the user's secret
+- Used only to wrap/unwrap the DEK, never to encrypt data directly
+- Never stored on disk — derived on demand
+
+This separation means changing a passphrase or adding a FIDO2 key only
+requires re-wrapping the DEK, not re-encrypting every blob.
+
+### KEK Derivation
+
+Two slot types. A repo has one `passphrase` slot and zero or more
+`fido2/<label>` slots:
+
+**Passphrase slot** (at most one per repo):
+- KEK = Argon2id(passphrase, salt, time=3, memory=64MB, threads=4)
+- Salt and Argon2id parameters stored in the slot entry
+- Slot key: `passphrase`
+
+**FIDO2 slots** (one per device, labeled):
+- KEK = HMAC-SHA256 output from the FIDO2 authenticator
+- The authenticator computes `HMAC(device_secret, salt)` using the
+  credential registered for this slot
+- `credential_id` in the slot entry ties it to a specific FIDO2
+  registration, allowing sgard to skip non-matching devices
+- Slot key: `fido2/<label>` (defaults to hostname, overridable)
+
+### Blob Encryption
+
+**Algorithm:** XChaCha20-Poly1305 (from `golang.org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305`)
+- 24-byte nonce (random per blob), 16-byte auth tag
+- AEAD — provides both confidentiality and integrity
+- XChaCha20 variant chosen for its 24-byte nonce, which is safe to
+  generate randomly without collision risk
+
+**Encrypted blob format:**
+```
+[24-byte nonce][ciphertext + 16-byte Poly1305 tag]
+```
+
+**Encryption flow (during Add/Checkpoint):**
+1. Read file plaintext
+2. Generate random 24-byte nonce
+3. Encrypt: `ciphertext = XChaCha20-Poly1305.Seal(nonce, DEK, plaintext)`
+4. Compute SHA-256 hash of the encrypted blob (nonce + ciphertext)
+5. Store the encrypted blob in the content-addressable store
+
+**Decryption flow (during Restore/Diff):**
+1. Read encrypted blob from store
+2. Extract 24-byte nonce prefix
+3. Decrypt: `plaintext = XChaCha20-Poly1305.Open(nonce, DEK, ciphertext)`
+4. Write plaintext to disk
+
+### Hashing: Post-Encryption
+
+The manifest hash is the SHA-256 of the **ciphertext**, not the plaintext.
+
+Rationale:
+- `verify` checks blob integrity without needing the DEK
+- The hash matches what's actually stored on disk
+- The server never needs the DEK — it handles only encrypted blobs
+- `status` needs the DEK to compare against the current file (hash
+  the plaintext, encrypt it, compare encrypted hash — or keep a
+  plaintext hash in the manifest)
+
+**Manifest changes for encryption:**
+
+Encrypted entries gain two fields: `encrypted: true` and
+`plaintext_hash` (SHA-256 of the plaintext, for efficient `status`
+checks without decryption):
+
+```yaml
+files:
+  - path: ~/.bashrc
+    hash: a1b2c3d4...        # SHA-256 of plaintext — not encrypted
+    type: file
+    mode: "0644"
+    updated: "2026-03-24T..."
+
+  - path: ~/.ssh/config
+    hash: f8e9d0c1...        # SHA-256 of encrypted blob (post-encryption)
+    plaintext_hash: e5f6a7... # SHA-256 of plaintext (pre-encryption)
+    encrypted: true
+    type: file
+    mode: "0600"
+    updated: "2026-03-24T..."
+```
+
+For unencrypted entries, `hash` is the SHA-256 of the plaintext (current
+behavior), and `plaintext_hash` and `encrypted` are omitted.
+
+`status` hashes the current file on disk and compares against
+`plaintext_hash` (for encrypted entries) or `hash` (for plaintext).
+`verify` always uses `hash` to check store integrity without the DEK.
+
+### DEK Storage
+
+Each slot wraps the DEK independently using XChaCha20-Poly1305,
+stored as base64 in the slot's `wrapped_dek` field:
+
+```
+wrapped_dek = base64([24-byte nonce][encrypted DEK + 16-byte tag])
+```
+
+The manifest is fully self-contained — pulling it to a new machine
+gives you everything needed to decrypt (given the user's secret).
+
+### Unlock Resolution
+
+When sgard needs the DEK, it reads `encryption.kek_slots` from the
+manifest and tries slots automatically:
+
+1. **FIDO2 slots** (all `fido2/*` slots, in map order):
+   - For each: check if a connected FIDO2 device matches the
+     slot's `credential_id`
+   - If match found → prompt for touch, derive KEK, unwrap DEK
+   - If no device matches or touch times out → try next slot
+
+2. **Passphrase slot** (if `passphrase` slot exists):
+   - Prompt for passphrase on stdin
+   - Derive KEK via Argon2id, unwrap DEK
+
+3. **No slots succeed** → error
+
+FIDO2 is tried first because it requires no typing — just a touch.
+The `credential_id` check avoids prompting for touch on a device that
+can't unwrap the slot, which matters when multiple FIDO2 keys are
+connected. The passphrase slot is the universal fallback.
+
+The user never specifies which slot to use. The presence of the
+`encryption` section indicates the repo has encryption capability.
+Individual files opt in via `--encrypt` at add time.
+
+### CLI Integration
+
+**Setting up encryption (creates DEK, adds `encryption` to manifest):**
+```sh
+sgard encrypt init                          # passphrase slot only
+sgard encrypt init --fido2                  # fido2/<hostname> + passphrase slots
+```
+
+When `--fido2` is specified, sgard creates both slots: the FIDO2 slot
+(named `fido2/<hostname>` by default) and immediately prompts for a
+passphrase to create the fallback slot. This ensures the user is never
+locked out if they lose the FIDO2 key.
+
+Without `--fido2`, only the `passphrase` slot is created.
+
+**Adding encrypted files:**
+```sh
+sgard add --encrypt ~/.ssh/config ~/.aws/credentials
+sgard add ~/.bashrc               # not encrypted
+```
+
+**Managing slots:**
+```sh
+sgard encrypt add-fido2                     # adds fido2/<hostname>
+sgard encrypt add-fido2 --label yubikey-5   # adds fido2/yubikey-5
+sgard encrypt remove-slot fido2/old-laptop  # removes a slot
+sgard encrypt list-slots                    # shows all slot names and types
+sgard encrypt change-passphrase             # prompts for old and new
+```
+
+Adding a slot auto-unlocks the DEK via an existing slot first (e.g.,
+`add-fido2` will prompt for the passphrase to unwrap the DEK, then
+re-wrap it with the new FIDO2 key).
+
+**Unlocking:**
+Operations that touch encrypted entries (add --encrypt, checkpoint,
+restore, diff, mirror on encrypted files) trigger automatic unlock
+via the resolution order above. The DEK is cached in memory for the
+duration of the command.
+
+Operations that only touch plaintext entries never prompt — they work
+exactly as before, even if the repo has encryption configured.
+
+There is no long-lived unlock state — each command invocation that needs
+the DEK obtains it fresh. This is intentional: dotfile operations are
+infrequent, and caching the DEK across invocations would require a
+daemon or on-disk secret, both of which expand the attack surface.
+
+### Security Properties
+
+- **Selective confidentiality:** Only files marked `--encrypt` are
+  encrypted. The manifest contains paths and hashes but not file
+  contents for encrypted entries.
+- **Server ignorance:** The server never has the DEK. Push/pull
+  transfers encrypted blobs opaquely. The server cannot read encrypted
+  file contents.
+- **Key rotation:** Changing the passphrase re-wraps the DEK without
+  re-encrypting blobs.
+- **Compromise recovery:** If the DEK is compromised, all encrypted
+  blobs must be re-encrypted (not just re-wrapped). This is an
+  explicit `sgard encrypt rotate-dek` operation.
+- **No plaintext leaks:** `diff` decrypts in memory, never writes
+  decrypted blobs to disk.
+- **Graceful degradation:** Commands that don't touch encrypted entries
+  work without the DEK. A `status` on a mixed repo can check plaintext
+  entries without prompting.
+
+### Repos Without Encryption
+
+A manifest with no `encryption` section has no DEK and cannot have
+encrypted entries. The `--encrypt` flag on `add` will error, prompting
+the user to run `sgard encrypt init` first. All existing behavior is
+unchanged.
+
+### Encryption and Remote Sync
+
+The server never has the DEK. Push/pull transfers the manifest
+(including the `encryption` section with wrapped DEKs and salts) and
+encrypted blobs as opaque bytes. The server cannot decrypt file
+contents.
+
+When pulling to a new machine:
+1. The manifest arrives with all `kek_slots` intact
+2. The user provides their passphrase (universal fallback)
+3. sgard derives the KEK, unwraps the DEK, decrypts blobs on restore
+
+No additional setup is needed beyond having the passphrase.
+
+**Adding FIDO2 on a new machine:** FIDO2 hmac-secret is device-bound —
+a different physical key produces a different KEK. After pulling to a
+new machine, the user runs `sgard encrypt add-fido2` which:
+1. Unlocks the DEK via the passphrase slot
+2. Registers a new FIDO2 credential on the local device
+3. Wraps the DEK with the new FIDO2 KEK
+4. Adds a `fido2/<hostname>` slot to the manifest
+
+On next push, the new slot propagates to the server and other machines.
+Each machine accumulates its own FIDO2 slot over time.
+
+### TLS Transport
+
+sgardd supports optional TLS via `--tls-cert` and `--tls-key` flags.
+When provided, the server uses `credentials.NewTLS()` with a minimum
+of TLS 1.2. Without them, it runs insecure (for local/trusted networks).
+
+The client gains `--tls` and `--tls-ca` flags:
+- `--tls` — enables TLS transport (uses system CA pool by default)
+- `--tls-ca <path>` — custom CA certificate for self-signed server certs
+
+Both flags must be specified together on the server side; on the client
+side `--tls` alone uses the system trust store, and `--tls-ca` adds a
+custom root.
+
+### FIDO2 Hardware Support
+
+Real FIDO2 hardware support uses `go-libfido2` (CGo bindings to
+Yubico's libfido2 C library). It is gated behind the `fido2` build
+tag to avoid requiring CGo and libfido2 for users who don't need it:
+
+- `go build ./...` — default build, no FIDO2 hardware support
+- `go build -tags fido2 ./...` — links against libfido2 for real keys
+
+The implementation (`garden/fido2_hardware.go`) wraps
+`libfido2.Device.MakeCredential` and `Assertion` with the
+`HMACSecretExtension` to derive 32-byte HMAC secrets from hardware
+keys. A `--fido2-pin` flag is available for PIN-protected devices.
+
+The Nix flake provides two packages: `sgard` (default, no CGo) and
+`sgard-fido2` (links libfido2).
+
+### DEK Rotation
+
+`sgard encrypt rotate-dek` generates a new DEK, re-encrypts all
+encrypted blobs with the new key, and re-wraps the new DEK with all
+existing KEK slots. Required when the DEK is suspected compromised
+(re-wrapping alone is insufficient since the old DEK could decrypt
+the existing blobs).
+
+The rotation process:
+1. Generate a new random 256-bit DEK
+2. For each encrypted entry: decrypt with old DEK, re-encrypt with new DEK,
+   write new blob to store, update manifest hash (plaintext hash unchanged)
+3. Re-derive each KEK (passphrase via Argon2id, FIDO2 via device) and
+   re-wrap the new DEK. FIDO2 slots without a matching connected device
+   are dropped during rotation.
+4. Save updated manifest
+
+Plaintext entries are untouched.
+
+### Per-Machine Targeting (Phase 5)
+
+Entries can be targeted to specific machines using `only` and `never`
+labels. A machine's identity is a set of labels computed at runtime:
+
+- **Short hostname:** `vade` (before the first dot, lowercased)
+- **OS:** `os:linux`, `os:darwin`, `os:windows` (from `runtime.GOOS`)
+- **Architecture:** `arch:amd64`, `arch:arm64` (from `runtime.GOARCH`)
+- **Tags:** `tag:work`, `tag:server` (from `<repo>/tags`, local-only)
+
+**Manifest fields on Entry:**
+
+```yaml
+files:
+  - path: ~/.bashrc.linux
+    only: [os:linux]            # restore/checkpoint only on Linux
+    ...
+  - path: ~/.ssh/work-config
+    only: [tag:work]            # only on machines tagged "work"
+    ...
+  - path: ~/.config/heavy
+    never: [arch:arm64]         # everywhere except ARM
+    ...
+  - path: ~/.special
+    only: [vade]                # only on host "vade"
+    ...
+```
+
+**Matching rules:**
+- `only` set → entry applies if *any* label matches the machine
+- `never` set → entry excluded if *any* label matches
+- Both set → error (mutually exclusive)
+- Neither set → applies everywhere (current behavior)
+
+**Operations affected:**
+- `restore` — skip non-matching entries
+- `checkpoint` — skip non-matching entries (don't clobber stored version)
+- `status` — report non-matching entries as `skipped`
+- `add`, `list`, `verify`, `diff` — operate on all entries regardless
+
+**Tags file:** `<repo>/tags`, one tag per line, not synced. Each
+machine defines its own tags. `sgard init` adds `tags` to `.gitignore`.
+
+**Label format:** bare string = hostname, `prefix:value` = typed matcher.
+The `tag:` prefix in `only`/`never` maps to bare names in the tags file.
+
+### Future: Manifest Signing (Phase 6)
+
+Manifest signing (to detect tampering) is deferred. The challenge is
+the trust model: which key signs, and how does a pulling client verify
+the signature when multiple machines with different SSH keys push to
+the same server? This requires a proper trust/key-authority design.

+- [x] `server/server.go`: Server struct with RWMutex, 5 RPC handlers (+ Prune)
+- [x] PushManifest: timestamp compare, compute missing blobs
+- [x] PushBlobs: receive stream, write to store, replace manifest
+- [x] PullManifest: return manifest
+- [x] PullBlobs: stream requested blobs (64 KiB chunks)
+- [x] Prune: remove orphaned blobs (added store.List + garden.ListBlobs/DeleteBlob)
+- [x] `server/server_test.go`: in-process test with bufconn, push+pull+prune
+
+### Step 12b: Directory Recursion and Mirror Command
+
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: `Add` recurses directories — walk all files/symlinks, add each as its own entry
+- [x] `garden/mirror.go`: `MirrorUp(paths []string) error` — walk directory, add new files, remove entries for files gone from disk, re-hash changed
+- [x] `garden/mirror.go`: `MirrorDown(paths []string, force bool, confirm func(string) bool) error` — restore all tracked files under path, delete anything not in manifest
+- [x] `garden/mirror_test.go`: tests for recursive add, mirror up (detects new/removed), mirror down (cleans extras)
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/mirror.go`: `sgard mirror up <path>`, `sgard mirror down <path> [--force]`
+- [x] Update existing add tests for directory recursion
+
+### Step 13: Client Library (No Auth)
+
+Depends on Step 12.
+
+- [x] `client/client.go`: Client struct, `Push()`, `Pull()`, `Prune()` methods
+- [x] `client/client_test.go`: integration tests (push+pull cycle, server newer, up-to-date, prune)
+
+### Step 14: SSH Key Auth
+
+- [x] `server/auth.go`: AuthInterceptor, parse authorized_keys, verify SSH signatures
+- [x] `client/auth.go`: LoadSigner (ssh-agent or key file), SSHCredentials (PerRPCCredentials)
+- [x] `server/auth_test.go`: valid key, reject unauthenticated, reject unauthorized key, reject expired timestamp
+- [x] `client/auth_test.go`: metadata generation, no-transport-security
+- [x] Integration tests: authenticated push/pull succeeds, unauthenticated is rejected
+
+### Step 15: CLI Wiring + Prune
+
+Depends on Steps 13, 14.
+
+- [x] `garden/prune.go`: `Prune() (int, error)` — collect referenced hashes, delete orphaned blobs
+- [x] `garden/prune_test.go`: prune removes orphaned, keeps referenced
+- [x] `server/server.go`: Prune RPC (done in Step 12)
+- [x] `proto/sgard/v1/sgard.proto`: Prune RPC (done in Step 9)
+- [x] `client/client.go`: Prune() method (done in Step 13)
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/prune.go`: local prune; with `--remote` prunes remote instead
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/main.go`: add `--remote`, `--ssh-key` persistent flags, resolveRemote()
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/push.go`, `cmd/sgard/pull.go`
+- [x] `cmd/sgardd/main.go`: flags, garden open, auth interceptor, gRPC serve
+- [x] Verify: both binaries compile
+
+### Step 16: Polish + Release
+
+- [x] Update ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, PROGRESS.md
+- [x] Update flake.nix (add sgardd, updated vendorHash)
+- [x] Update .goreleaser.yaml (add sgardd build)
+- [x] E2e integration test: init two repos, push from one, pull into other (with auth)
+- [x] Verify: all tests pass, full push/pull cycle works
+
+## Phase 3: Encryption
+
+### Step 17: Encryption Core (Passphrase Only)
+
+- [x] `manifest/manifest.go`: add `Encrypted`, `PlaintextHash` fields to Entry; add `Encryption` section with `KekSlots` map to Manifest
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: `EncryptInit(passphrase string) error` — generate DEK, derive KEK via Argon2id, wrap DEK, store in manifest encryption section
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: `UnlockDEK(prompt) error` — read slots, try passphrase, unwrap DEK; cache in memory for command duration
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: encrypt/decrypt helpers using XChaCha20-Poly1305 (nonce + seal/open)
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: modify Add to accept encrypt flag — encrypt blob before storing, set `encrypted: true` and `plaintext_hash` on entry
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: modify Checkpoint to re-encrypt changed encrypted entries (compares plaintext_hash)
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: modify Restore to decrypt encrypted blobs before writing
+- [x] `garden/diff.go`: modify Diff to decrypt stored blob before diffing
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: modify Status to use `plaintext_hash` for encrypted entries
+- [x] Tests: 10 encryption tests (init, persist, unlock, add-encrypted, restore round-trip, checkpoint, status, diff, requires-DEK)
+- [x] Verify: `go test ./... && go vet ./... && golangci-lint run ./...`
+
+### Step 18: FIDO2 Support
+
+Depends on Step 17.
+
+- [x] `garden/encrypt_fido2.go`: FIDO2Device interface, AddFIDO2Slot, unlockFIDO2, defaultFIDO2Label
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: UnlockDEK tries fido2/* slots first (credential_id matching), falls back to passphrase
+- [x] `garden/encrypt_fido2_test.go`: mock FIDO2 device, 6 tests (add slot, duplicate rejected, unlock via FIDO2, fallback to passphrase, persistence, encrypted round-trip with FIDO2)
+- [x] Verify: `go test ./... && go vet ./... && golangci-lint run ./...`
+
+### Step 19: Encryption CLI + Slot Management
+
+Depends on Steps 17, 18.
+
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/encrypt.go`: `sgard encrypt init [--fido2]`, `add-fido2 [--label]`, `remove-slot`, `list-slots`, `change-passphrase`
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: `RemoveSlot`, `ListSlots`, `ChangePassphrase` methods
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/add.go`: add `--encrypt` flag with passphrase prompt
+- [x] Update proto: add `encrypted`, `plaintext_hash` to ManifestEntry; add KekSlot, Encryption messages, encryption field on Manifest
+- [x] Update `server/convert.go`: full encryption section conversion (Encryption, KekSlot)
+- [x] Verify: both binaries compile, `go test ./...`, lint clean
+
+### Step 20: Encryption Polish + Release
+
+- [x] E2e test: full encryption lifecycle (init, add encrypted+plaintext, checkpoint, modify, status, restore, verify, diff, slot management, passphrase change)
+- [x] Update ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md
+- [x] Update flake.nix vendorHash
+- [x] Verify: all tests pass, lint clean
+
+## Future Steps (Not Phase 3)
+
+## Phase 4: Hardening + Completeness
+
+### Step 21: Lock/Unlock Toggle Commands
+
+- [x] `garden/lock.go`: `Lock(paths)`, `Unlock(paths)` — toggle locked flag on existing entries
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/lock.go`: `sgard lock <path>...`, `sgard unlock <path>...`
+- [x] Tests: lock/unlock existing entry, persist, error on untracked, checkpoint/status behavior changes (6 tests)
+
+### Step 22: Shell Completion
+
+- [x] Cobra provides built-in `sgard completion` for bash, zsh, fish, powershell — no code needed
+- [x] README updated with shell completion installation instructions
+
+### Step 23: TLS Transport for sgardd
+
+- [x] `cmd/sgardd/main.go`: add `--tls-cert`, `--tls-key` flags
+- [x] Server uses `credentials.NewTLS()` when cert/key provided, insecure otherwise
+- [x] Client: add `--tls` flag and `--tls-ca` for custom CA
+- [x] Update `cmd/sgard/main.go` and `dialRemote()` for TLS
+- [x] Tests: TLS connection with self-signed cert (push/pull cycle, reject untrusted client)
+- [x] Update ARCHITECTURE.md and README.md
+
+### Step 24: DEK Rotation
+
+- [x] `garden/encrypt.go`: `RotateDEK(promptPassphrase, fido2Device)` — generate new DEK, re-encrypt all encrypted blobs, re-wrap with all existing KEK slots
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/encrypt.go`: `sgard encrypt rotate-dek`
+- [x] Tests: rotate DEK, verify decryption, verify plaintext untouched, FIDO2 re-wrap, requires-unlock (4 tests)
+
+### Step 25: Real FIDO2 Hardware Binding
+
+- [x] Evaluate approach: go-libfido2 CGo bindings (keys-pub/go-libfido2 v1.5.3)
+- [x] `garden/fido2_hardware.go`: HardwareFIDO2 implementing FIDO2Device via libfido2 (`//go:build fido2`)
+- [x] `garden/fido2_nohardware.go`: stub returning nil (`//go:build !fido2`)
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/fido2.go`: unlockDEK helper, --fido2-pin flag
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/encrypt.go`: add-fido2 uses real hardware, encrypt init --fido2 registers slot, all unlock calls use FIDO2-first resolution
+- [x] `flake.nix`: sgard-fido2 package variant, libfido2+pkg-config in devShell
+- [x] Tests: existing mock-based tests still pass; hardware tests require manual testing with a FIDO2 key
+
+### Step 26: Test Cleanup
+
+- [x] Standardize all test calls — already use `AddOptions{}` struct consistently (no legacy variadic patterns found)
+- [x] Ensure all tests use `t.TempDir()` consistently (audited, no `os.MkdirTemp`/`ioutil.Temp` usage)
+- [x] Review lint config — added copyloopvar, durationcheck, makezero, nilerr, bodyclose linters
+- [x] Verify test coverage — added 3 tests: encrypted+locked, dir-only+locked, lock/unlock toggle on encrypted
+- [x] Fix stale API signatures in ARCHITECTURE.md (Add, Lock, Unlock, RotateDEK, HasEncryption, NeedsDEK)
+
+### Step 27: Phase 4 Polish + Release
+
+- [x] Update all docs (ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, PROGRESS.md)
+- [x] Update flake.nix vendorHash (done in Step 25)
+- [x] .goreleaser.yaml — no changes needed (CGO_ENABLED=0 is correct for release binaries)
+- [x] E2e test: integration/phase4_test.go covering TLS + encryption + locked files + push/pull
+- [x] Verify: all tests pass, lint clean, both binaries compile
+
+## Phase 5: Per-Machine Targeting
+
+### Step 28: Machine Identity + Targeting Core
+
+- [x] `manifest/manifest.go`: add `Only []string` and `Never []string` to Entry
+- [x] `garden/identity.go`: `Identity()` returns machine label set
+- [x] `garden/targeting.go`: `EntryApplies(entry, labels)` match logic
+- [x] `garden/tags.go`: `LoadTags`, `SaveTag`, `RemoveTag` for `<repo>/tags`
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: `Init` appends `tags` to `.gitignore`
+- [x] Tests: 13 tests (identity, tags, matching: only, never, both-error, hostname, os, arch, tag, case-insensitive, multiple)
+
+### Step 29: Operations Respect Targeting
+
+- [x] `Checkpoint` skips entries where `!EntryApplies`
+- [x] `Restore` skips entries where `!EntryApplies`
+- [x] `Status` reports `skipped` for non-matching entries
+- [x] `Add` accepts `Only`/`Never` in `AddOptions`, propagated through `addEntry`
+- [x] Tests: 6 tests (checkpoint skip/process, status skipped, restore skip, add with only/never)
+
+### Step 30: Targeting CLI Commands
+
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/tag.go`: tag add/remove/list
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/identity.go`: identity command
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/add.go`: --only/--never flags
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/target.go`: target command with --only/--never/--clear
+- [x] `garden/target.go`: SetTargeting method
+
+### Step 31: Proto + Sync Update
+
+- [x] `proto/sgard/v1/sgard.proto`: only/never fields on ManifestEntry
+- [x] `server/convert.go`: updated conversion
+- [x] Regenerated proto
+- [x] Tests: targeting round-trip test
+
+### Step 32: Phase 5 Polish
+
+- [x] Update ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md, PROGRESS.md
+- [x] E2e test: push/pull with targeting labels, restore respects targeting
+- [x] Verify: all tests pass, lint clean, both binaries compile
+
+## Standalone: File Exclusion
+
+- [x] `manifest/manifest.go`: `Exclude []string` field on Manifest, `IsExcluded(tildePath)` method (exact match + directory prefix)
+- [x] `garden/exclude.go`: `Exclude(paths)` and `Include(paths)` methods; Exclude removes already-tracked matching entries
+- [x] `garden/garden.go`: Add's WalkDir checks `IsExcluded`, returns `filepath.SkipDir` for excluded directories
+- [x] `garden/mirror.go`: MirrorUp skips excluded paths; MirrorDown leaves excluded files on disk
+- [x] `cmd/sgard/exclude.go`: `sgard exclude <path>... [--list]`, `sgard include <path>...`
+- [x] `proto/sgard/v1/sgard.proto`: `repeated string exclude = 7` on Manifest; regenerated
+- [x] `server/convert.go`: round-trip Exclude field
+- [x] `garden/exclude_test.go`: 8 tests (add/dedup/remove-tracked/include, Add skips file/dir, MirrorUp skips, MirrorDown leaves alone, IsExcluded prefix matching)
+- [x] Update ARCHITECTURE.md, PROJECT_PLAN.md, PROGRESS.md
+
+## Phase 6: Manifest Signing

+### Locked files
+
+Some files get overwritten by the system (desktop environments,
+package managers, etc.) but you want to keep them at a known-good
+state. Locked files are repo-authoritative — `restore` always
+overwrites them, and `checkpoint` never picks up the system's changes:
+
+```sh
+# XDG user-dirs.dirs gets reset by the desktop environment on login
+sgard add --lock ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
+
+# The system overwrites it — status reports "drifted", not "modified"
+sgard status
+# drifted    ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
+
+# Restore puts it back without prompting
+sgard restore
+```
+
+Use `add` (without `--lock`) when you intentionally want to update the
+repo with a new version of a locked file.
+
+### Directory-only entries
+
+Sometimes a directory must exist for software to work, but its
+contents are managed elsewhere. `--dir` tracks the directory itself
+without recursing:
+
+```sh
+# Ensure ~/.local/share/applications exists (some apps break without it)
+sgard add --dir ~/.local/share/applications
+```
+
+On `restore`, sgard creates the directory with the correct permissions
+but doesn't touch its contents.
+
+### Per-machine targeting
+
+Some files only apply to certain machines. Use `--only` and `--never`
+to control where entries are active:
+
+```sh
+# Only restore on Linux
+sgard add --only os:linux ~/.bashrc.linux
+
+# Never restore on ARM
+sgard add --never arch:arm64 ~/.config/heavy-tool
+
+# Only on machines tagged "work"
+sgard tag add work
+sgard add --only tag:work ~/.ssh/work-config
+
+# Only on a specific host
+sgard add --only vade ~/.special-config
+
+# See this machine's identity
+sgard identity
+
+# Change targeting on an existing entry
+sgard target ~/.bashrc.linux --only os:linux,tag:desktop
+sgard target ~/.bashrc.linux --clear
+```
+
+Labels: bare string = hostname, `os:linux`/`os:darwin`, `arch:amd64`/`arch:arm64`,
+`tag:<name>` from local `<repo>/tags` file. `checkpoint`, `restore`, and
+`status` skip non-matching entries automatically.

+
+| Command | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `push` | Push checkpoint to remote gRPC server |
+| `pull` | Pull checkpoint from remote gRPC server |
+| `prune` | With `--remote`, prunes orphaned blobs on the server |
+
+Remote commands require `--remote host:port` (or `SGARD_REMOTE` env, or a
+`<repo>/remote` config file) and authenticate via SSH keys.
+
+The server daemon `sgardd` is a separate binary (included in releases and
+Nix builds).
+
+## Remote sync
+
+Start the daemon on your server:
+
+```sh
+sgard init --repo /srv/sgard
+sgardd --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+```
+
+Push and pull from client machines:
+
+```sh
+sgard push --remote myserver:9473
+sgard pull --remote myserver:9473
+```
+
+Authentication uses your existing SSH keys (ssh-agent, `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`,
+or `--ssh-key`). No passwords or certificates to manage.
+
+### TLS
+
+To encrypt the connection with TLS:
+
+```sh
+# Server: provide cert and key
+sgardd --tls-cert server.crt --tls-key server.key --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+
+# Client: enable TLS (uses system CA pool)
+sgard push --remote myserver:9473 --tls
+
+# Client: with a custom/self-signed CA
+sgard push --remote myserver:9473 --tls --tls-ca ca.crt
+```
+
+Without `--tls-cert`/`--tls-key`, sgardd runs without TLS (suitable for
+localhost or trusted networks).
+
+## Encryption
+
+Sensitive files can be encrypted individually:
+
+```sh
+# Set up encryption (once per repo)
+sgard encrypt init
+
+# Add encrypted files
+sgard add --encrypt ~/.ssh/config ~/.aws/credentials
+
+# Plaintext files work as before
+sgard add ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+Encrypted blobs use XChaCha20-Poly1305. The data encryption key (DEK)
+is wrapped by a passphrase-derived key (Argon2id). FIDO2 hardware keys
+are also supported as an alternative KEK source — sgard tries FIDO2
+first and falls back to passphrase automatically.
+
+### FIDO2 hardware keys
+
+Build with `-tags fido2` (requires libfido2) to enable real hardware
+key support, or use `nix build .#sgard-fido2`:
+
+```sh
+# Register a FIDO2 key (touch required)
+sgard encrypt add-fido2
+
+# With a PIN-protected device
+sgard encrypt add-fido2 --fido2-pin 1234
+
+# Unlock is automatic — FIDO2 is tried first, passphrase as fallback
+sgard restore   # touch your key when prompted
+```
+
+The encryption config (wrapped DEKs, salts) lives in the manifest, so
+it syncs with push/pull. The server never has the DEK.
+
+See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the full encryption design.
