 Mixed mode is supported — sealed values take priority, with fnox as fallback for keys without `encrypted_value`.
 
+### Where it injects: self-launched vs serverless
+
+Whether envpkt can replace a cloud secret store depends on one thing: **do you control how the process starts?**
+
+- **You launch it** (server, container, VM, k8s, systemd) → `envpkt exec -- yourapp` or `boot()` injects the decrypted values straight into the process environment. No cloud secret store needed: the sealed `envpkt.toml` ships with the app, and only the age key has to reach the runtime (N secrets collapse to 1 key).
+- **A platform launches it** (Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, Vercel) → you don't own the launch, and the `age` CLI can't run inside the per-request isolate, so the platform's secret store is unavoidable. envpkt becomes the source of truth that populates and audits that store — not the injector.
+
+> Rule of thumb: **own the launch → `exec`/`boot`, no store. Platform owns the launch → store required, envpkt feeds and audits it.** Full details: [Runtime injection guide](https://envpkt.dev/guides/runtime-injection/).

+### Anti-rot CI gate
+
+A hand-maintained `envpkt.toml` is documentation, and documentation rots. The fix is a failing build: each `--strict` check exits non-zero so a stale or drifted config blocks the merge. Each gate is **metadata-only** (no secret values) and targets a different failure mode — compose the ones that fit:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Secret health — runs anywhere, no live env or age key needed.
+#    Fails on expired / stale (> lifecycle.stale_warning_days) / missing / missing-metadata.
+envpkt audit --strict            # exit 1 = degraded, 2 = critical
+
+# 2. Cross-environment parity — keep dev/staging/prod tracking the same keys.
+envpkt diff dev.envpkt.toml prod.envpkt.toml --exit-code
+
+# 3. Drift vs the live environment — run where the env is actually populated
+#    (a deployed host or a pre-deploy step), NOT a bare CI runner: with no env
+#    set, every var reads as "missing" and the gate false-fails.
+envpkt env check --strict        # exit 1 on any drift (missing / untracked)
+```
+
+**Where each belongs.** `audit --strict` and `diff --exit-code` are environment-independent — drop them in any PR/CI job as a merge gate. `env check --strict` compares the config against the _live_ environment, so it belongs in a pre-deploy step or a host healthcheck, after the env is populated (e.g. `eval "$(envpkt env export)"`), not in a stock CI runner.
+
+```yaml
+# PR gate: block merges when the config rots (no secrets, no age key required)
+- uses: jordanburke/envpkt@v0.13.4
+  with: { config: ./envpkt.toml, strict: "true" }
+- run: envpkt diff dev.envpkt.toml prod.envpkt.toml --exit-code
+```
+
+> Freshness in the sense of "verified live within N days" (a credential that still _authenticates_, not just one that hasn't _expired_ on paper) is a [verification](#) capability reserved for the hosted offering — `--strict` enforces everything checkable offline today.
