Research direction

Start by locating the existing SigningKey documentation and examples in the PyNaCl repository, then trace how a stored key is loaded or reconstructed. Update the documentation to explain how to reuse a saved SigningKey, including the expected stored value and a usable example; done means a reader can follow the instructions without inferring the process.
