Description

The plan for which components do the encryption, and which/how many keys are derived from root password, is a little up in the air, and it's not my decision now. Once it's decided and implemented, I'll match test_client to it.

Research direction

Wait for the encryption and key-derivation plan to be decided and implemented, then inspect test_client and align its expectations with the settled behavior. Confirm which components perform encryption and which keys are derived from the root password; done when test_client matches the implemented plan and passes.
