+ | BIP39 mnemonic (12/24 words) | `"abandon abandon ... about"` | Supported |

64
+
65
+ **Known limitation:** Hex seed import (`--secret 0x...`) does not work from the command line. The CLI argument parser (`cac`) interprets `0x`-prefixed values as JavaScript numbers, which loses precision for 32-byte seeds. Use a BIP39 mnemonic instead. If you need to import a raw seed programmatically, write it directly to `~/.polkadot/accounts.json`.
