 - Vault: AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 key derivation (600k iterations)
 - Database: SQLCipher with PBKDF2-derived key
+- Standalone fragments are stored in the encrypted SQLCipher database (requires auth via `vault.load_all` or `db.hydrate_workspace`)
+- `DatabaseSessionService` holds the encryption password in memory after first authentication
 - Wire format matches the Python implementation for cross-language parity
