Description

Is there any concern exposing Crypto/SubtleCrypto to all scopes, or all Worklet scopes, rather than just (Window, Worker)?

This is a desirable feature for the shared storage worklet (e.g. will make the aggregation key generation process easier).

Research direction

The issue names Crypto/SubtleCrypto and Worklet scopes but does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by locating the specification sections that define the exposed scopes and review the shared storage worklet use case. Done means reaching a decided, documented scope for exposure, with corresponding specification and test changes identified.
