-/**
- * Argon2id password hashing — public framework primitive.
- *
- * Different concern from lib/vault-wrap.js, which also uses Argon2id but
- * for KEK derivation (the output is a KEY used to AEAD-wrap the vault
- * file). This module is for application-layer password storage: the
- * output is a verifiable digest in PHC format, never decrypted, used
- * for "is this the password the user originally set?".
- *
- * Public API:
- *
- *   await auth.password.hash(plain, opts?)        → string (PHC format)
- *   await auth.password.verify(hash, plain)       → boolean
- *   auth.password.needsRehash(hash, opts?)        → boolean
- *
- * The PHC string captures the algorithm + parameters + salt + digest:
- *
- *   $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$<base64-salt>$<base64-hash>
- *
- * That string is what callers store in the database. verify() parses
- * it to recover the parameters, recomputes the digest with the
- * supplied plaintext, and timing-safe compares.
- *
- * Defaults (memoryCost=64 MiB, timeCost=3, parallelism=4) target
- * ~250–500ms on commodity 2026 hardware — painful for offline brute
- * force, tolerable inside a login latency budget. Operators with
- * tighter budgets (or beefier hardware) tune via opts; needsRehash
- * surfaces when stored hashes lag behind the current defaults so the
- * caller can transparently rehash on next successful login.
- *
- * Validation posture:
- *   - plain must be a non-empty string. Empty/whitespace passwords
- *     are operator bugs (UI should reject) — failing here surfaces
- *     them before they hit the DB.
- *   - plain length is capped at 4096 bytes (UTF-8). Same cap as the
- *     vault-wrap passphrase. A 5 GiB string fed to Argon2 would peg
- *     the box for minutes; the cap is sanity, not security.
- *   - hash must be a non-empty string starting with `$argon2id$`.
- *     Other Argon2 variants (`$argon2i$` / `$argon2d$`) are out of
- *     spec for this framework — verify() returns false rather than
- *     attempting to validate them. Callers using needsRehash on a
- *     non-id hash get true (forces rehash on next login).
- *
- * Errors are AuthError(code, message) with permanent=true. A failed
- * verify is NOT an error — it returns false. Errors are reserved for
- * "the call shape was wrong" (empty plain, oversize plain).

-// Argon2id covers the OFFLINE attack model: even with the DB stolen,
-// each guess costs ~250ms of CPU + 64 MiB of RAM. It does NOT cover:
-//   - Online weak-credential attacks (operator phishes / reuses)
-//   - Periodic rotation requirements (PCI 8.3, NYDFS, some HIPAA)
-//   - History reuse (PCI 8.3 last-4 floor)
-//   - Operator-tunable composition rules (HIPAA / industry-specific

-//
-// b.auth.password.policy(opts) returns:
-//   - check(plaintext, context?)         → presentation-time gate
-//   - shouldRotate(passwordSetAt)        → per-account rotation check

-//   - PCI-DSS 8.3.6 / 8.3.7: 12-char min, 90-day rotation, history
-//     of 4. (Operator opts in via { profile: "pci-8.3" }.)
-//   - HIPAA 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(D): "procedures for creating, changing,
-//     and safeguarding passwords" — addressed via composition opts.
-//   - GDPR Art. 32: storage shape (sealed via Argon2id); no

+/**
+ * Argon2id password hashing — public framework primitive.
+ *
+ * Different concern from lib/vault-wrap.js, which also uses Argon2id but
+ * for KEK derivation (the output is a KEY used to AEAD-wrap the vault
+ * file). This module is for application-layer password storage: the
+ * output is a verifiable digest in PHC format, never decrypted, used
+ * for "is this the password the user originally set?".
+ *
+ * Public API:
+ *
+ *   await auth.password.hash(plain, opts?)        → string (PHC format)
+ *   await auth.password.verify(hash, plain)       → boolean
+ *   auth.password.needsRehash(hash, opts?)        → boolean
+ *
+ * The PHC string captures the algorithm + parameters + salt + digest:
+ *
+ *   $argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$<base64-salt>$<base64-hash>
+ *
+ * That string is what callers store in the database. verify() parses
+ * it to recover the parameters, recomputes the digest with the
+ * supplied plaintext, and timing-safe compares.
+ *
+ * Defaults (memoryCost=64 MiB, timeCost=3, parallelism=4) target
+ * ~250–500ms on commodity 2026 hardware — painful for offline brute
+ * force, tolerable inside a login latency budget. Operators with
+ * tighter budgets (or beefier hardware) tune via opts; needsRehash
+ * surfaces when stored hashes lag behind the current defaults so the
+ * caller can transparently rehash on next successful login.
+ *
+ * Validation posture:
+ *   - plain must be a non-empty string. Empty/whitespace passwords
+ *     are operator bugs (UI should reject) — failing here surfaces
+ *     them before they hit the DB.
+ *   - plain length is capped at 4096 bytes (UTF-8). Same cap as the
+ *     vault-wrap passphrase. A 5 GiB string fed to Argon2 would peg
+ *     the box for minutes; the cap is sanity, not security.
+ *   - hash must be a non-empty string starting with `$argon2id$`.
+ *     Other Argon2 variants (`$argon2i$` / `$argon2d$`) are out of
+ *     spec for this framework — verify() returns false rather than
+ *     attempting to validate them. Callers using needsRehash on a
+ *     non-id hash get true (forces rehash on next login).
+ *
+ * Errors are AuthError(code, message) with permanent=true. A failed
+ * verify is NOT an error — it returns false. Errors are reserved for
+ * "the call shape was wrong" (empty plain, oversize plain).
