FIX-14: Reconcile the duress-safe-state claim with the docs#37
Merged
Conversation
The README, privacy doc, and threat model described a "duress-safe open state that hides case contents" as an existing capability, but grepping `src/` and `app/` for `duress`/`panic`/`decoy` returns nothing — it is not implemented. For a tool whose credibility rests on "say what it does not do," a safety feature that exists only in prose is an overclaim. Reword every present-tense mention to state the duress-safe state is planned, not yet implemented, and that its documented limits will apply when built. This is FIX-14's immediate S-scope (docs correction only); building the feature is EXP-15 (sized L) and is out of scope here. - README.md: principle 5, the "Duress and forensic limits" honest-limit, and the "Safety" -ility now mark the state planned; location-stripping stays correctly present-tense as the only shipped at-rest/ sharing protection. - docs/privacy.md: "Device seized" mitigation cell annotates the duress state as planned, not yet implemented. - docs/threat-model.md: honest-limits bullet leads with "planned, not implemented"; the seized-while-unlocked row reduces to passphrase rotation + recovery blob with the duress state noted as planned; the §7 summary no longer implies the state exists. - docs/crypto-spec.md: non-goal reference now points to the "planned duress mitigation and its limits". Docs-only change; full non-integration suite (196 tests) passes. No source, test, or script references the changed text. Note: the roadmap doc (docs/ideation/02-large-scale-fixes.md) is untracked in the main repo's working tree and absent from this isolated worktree, so FIX-14 could not be marked done there without committing unreviewed WIP; that bookkeeping is left to the working-tree owner.
