The recovery key gives the backup key (the only thing the hub keeps), which opens a snapshot's metadata and main;
frames map onto the live adapter's own ids and wording (group ids from master keys via zkgroup's Sho), and
attachments are unsealed from the shared files folder into the media store. Key steps are pinned against
libsignal-client's output and group ids were checked against a real signal-cli account. The History section asks
for the recovery key when a folder holds snapshots, counts the newest one, and the import runs through the same
dry run / import / undo path.
