Manuel clarified the reason for a separate encryption service in his sketch: prevent a compute choke under many concurrent users and scale crypto independently of frontend/backend — not just abstraction.

Our current answer (in-binary decorator + --target= role flags, ARCHITECTURE §9) is a code seam, not yet a separable replica. Make the encrypt/decrypt role genuinely runnable as its own --target=crypto replica (Loki/MinIO/Vault single-binary-many-roles pattern) so an operator can scale it apart from the rest — honoring his intent without splitting the codebase.

Our current answer (in-binary decorator + `--target=` role flags, ARCHITECTURE §9) is a code seam, not yet a separable replica. Make the encrypt/decrypt role genuinely runnable as its own `--target=crypto` replica (Loki/MinIO/Vault single-binary-many-roles pattern) so an operator can scale it apart from the rest — honoring his intent without splitting the codebase.
