- The page demonstrates a file as ciphertext to the host, while describing the published tier as the only tier the forge can read.
Field notes
The examples use `.lootattributes` to mark a file restricted to an identity, and show an embargo timestamp for a security-fix file. The page lists relay commands for granting keys and collaborating; its README says the full loop runs now, while also disclosing that the from-scratch cryptography has not had an independent audit.
