The Keystore key now requires authentication, valid for 30 s afterwards - short enough that an unattended phone is not exploitable, long enough to decrypt and display. Time-bound rather than a per-use CryptoObject: BiometricPrompt's callback would need a Java class compiled into a jar, while FMX already bridges it.
Two aliases, because the auth constraint is fixed when the key is created and cannot be added later. The file header records which key wrote it, so a read knows whether to authenticate first.
A device with neither fingerprint nor lock screen cannot hold such a key, so SaveVault falls back to the plain key rather than giving up the cache. And a failed authentication no longer wipes the cache: the vault is intact, it is the user who cancelled - erasing it would cost a download and 4 s of derivation for a dismissed prompt.
Opening a container costs ~4 s and the iteration count belongs to the desktop format, so the fix is to stop repeating it: derive once per snapshot, then read a local AES file which the hardware accelerates. The key is generated inside the Keystore and never leaves it - the file alone is useless, even rooted.
ETag and vault are encrypted together on purpose: an ETag outliving an unreadable vault would make the server answer 304 with nothing to show. A failed read wipes the cache rather than guessing.
Also normalises every Delphi source to pure ASCII: Delphi reads a BOM-less file as ANSI, so accented comments came back as mojibake, and each PowerShell rewrite added another layer.
