 /**
- * Owner identity and cryptographic key derivation.
+ * ## Intro
+ *
+ * Cryptographic identities that define ownership, encryption, sync, and
+ * deletion boundaries for Evolu data.
+ *
+ * Every database change belongs to an {@link Owner} and is encrypted with its
+ * {@link OwnerEncryptionKey}. Owners also make sync selective: only the
+ * {@link AppOwner} is synced by default, while other owners can be synced when
+ * needed.
+ *
+ * Individual changes in an append-only local-first history can only be marked
+ * as deleted. An entire owner, however, can be removed from devices and relays
+ * together with all of its data. The AppOwner must remain because it coordinates
+ * the deletion of other owners across devices.
+ *
+ * Choose an owner by how its data should live and be shared:
+ *
+ * - {@link AppOwner} coordinates sync and persists for the lifetime of the app
+ *   identity.
+ * - {@link ShardOwner} partitions application data so it can be synced and
+ *   deleted independently.
+ * - {@link SharedOwner} grants collaborative read and write access.
+ * - {@link SharedReadonlyOwner} grants read-only access to shared data.
+ *
+ * An {@link OwnerSecret} deterministically derives three independent values
+ * using SLIP-21:
+ *
+ * - {@link OwnerId}: the public identifier.
+ * - {@link OwnerEncryptionKey}: the symmetric key that protects the data.
+ * - {@link OwnerWriteKey}: the rotatable token that authorizes writes.
