Research direction

Start by reviewing the scuttle-dark-crystal and dark-crystal-secrets libraries, then read related issue #1292 for existing context. Trace how settings currently handle wallet recovery and define the MVP flow for MetaMask users and friends to shard, share, and recover a seed phrase. Done means the scope, security behavior, and recovery flow are specified and tested.
