  * WebCrypto ONLY — zero dependencies. Design doc: docs/E2E-ENCRYPTION.md.
  *
- * Scheme (v1):
- *   folder password ─PBKDF2-SHA256(600k iter, per-folder 16B salt)─▶ KEK (AES-256-GCM)
- *   per-file random 32B DEK (AES-256-GCM) encrypts the content one-shot;
- *   the DEK is wrapped with the KEK and stored in the file's own header.
+ * ── Scheme ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  *
- * File layout ('filexe2e' magic, fixed 97-byte header):
+ * Every encrypted file wraps its own random DEK under ONE key, the folder
+ * master key (FMK), and stores the wrapped copy in its own 97-byte header.
+ * The FMK is what a "key slot" in the folder marker hands back:
+ *
+ *   password ─PBKDF2-SHA256(600k, 16B salt)─▶ KEK ─┐
+ *   recovery key ─HKDF-SHA256(16B salt)─▶ RKEK ────┼─▶ unwraps the FMK
+ *   escrow private key ─RSA-OAEP-256───────────────┘
+ *                                                   │
+ *   per-file random 32B DEK ◀── AES-GCM-wrapped by the FMK, in the header
+ *
+ * Adding a recovery path therefore costs one more wrapped copy of a single
+ * 32-byte key in the marker — not a re-encrypt of anything. The file format
+ * below is UNCHANGED from v1 and stays that way; only the marker grew.
+ *
+ * ── Marker versions ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * v1 (shipped up to 0.30.1) has no slots: the DEK is wrapped directly by
+ * the password KEK. Read that as "the FMK *is* the KEK". Such folders keep
+ * opening with nothing but their password, forever — the v1 read path is a
+ * first-class path here, not a migration shim.
+ *
+ * v2 adds the slots. It comes in two flavours, told apart by `fmk`:
+ *   - `fmk: 'wrapped'` — a fresh random FMK, held in `fmk_pw` wrapped under
+ *     the password KEK. Every folder created from 0.31 on.
+ *   - `fmk: 'kek'`     — a v1 folder that was given recovery keys in place.
+ *     Its files were already wrapped under the KEK and are not rewritten, so
+ *     the FMK stays defined as "the password-derived KEK" and the recovery
+ *     slots wrap those raw 32 bytes. The password path is byte-identical to
+ *     v1; only the extra slots are new.
+ *
+ * ── Invariants ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ *   - No key, password or recovery key is ever stored, logged or sent to a
+ *     server. The FMK lives in an in-memory key ring and dies with the tab.
+ *   - `deriveKek` imports non-extractable. Raw KEK bytes are produced ONLY
+ *     by `deriveKekBits`, only while upgrading a v1 marker, and only long
+ *     enough to wrap them into the new slots.
+ *   - A folder created while escrow was off carries no escrow slot, so the
+ *     escrow key cannot open it. That is arithmetic, not policy.
+ *
+ * File layout ('filexe2e' magic, fixed 97-byte header) — UNCHANGED in v2:
  *   [0..8)   magic  "filexe2e"
  *   [8]      version 0x01
  *   [9..21)  wrapIV  (12B)  — GCM IV of the DEK wrap
- *   [21..69) wrappedDEK (48B = 32B DEK + 16B GCM tag)
+ *   [21..69) wrappedDEK (48B = 32B DEK + 16B GCM tag), wrapped by the FMK
  *   [69..81) dataIV  (12B)  — GCM IV of the content
  *   [81..97) reserved (zeros; v2 chunking/metadata)
  *   [97..)   ciphertext (content + 16B GCM tag)
- *
- * Folder marker `.filex-e2e.json` at the encrypted-folder root:
- *   { v:1, salt:<b64 16B>, iter:600000, verify:<b64 12B IV || GCM('filex-e2e-verify-v1')> }
- *
- * The KEK NEVER leaves memory — no storage of any kind. Password loss is
- * data loss by design (no recovery path exists anywhere).
