Research direction

Start by researching the operating-system features for preventing secrets from appearing in core dumps, then inspect reVault's encryption and passphrase-protected private-key handling. Done should mean the relevant secret material is protected from core dumps and the behavior is verified, but the issue names no files or tests.
