amy's default stdout is now a YAML-ish render of the underlying result
map; the previous single-line JSON contract moves behind a global
`--json` flag. Errors mirror the same rule (`error: <code>: <detail>`
on stderr by default, JSON `{"error":...,"detail":...}` under --json).
Exit codes (0/1/2/124) and the --json shape itself are unchanged —
only the default presentation flips.
- Replaces Json.writeLine / Json.error with mode-aware
Output.emit / Output.error. The same Jackson mapper is reused for
on-disk JSON via Output.mapper.
- Adds `--json` to the global flag set in Main.kt; honoured even when
argument parsing fails so error JSON keeps shape under --json.
- Updates the test harness wrappers (amy_a / amy_b / amy_d in
cli/tests/{headless,dm,cache}/) and the few direct $AMY_BIN call
sites whose stdout is consumed via $() / 2>&1 — they now pass
--json so the existing jq pipelines keep working.
- Rewrites the README "Output contract" and DEVELOPMENT design
principles to describe the new default, and clarifies that only
--json is the public API; the text shape is allowed to drift.
identity.json previously stored `privKeyHex` and `nsec` as plaintext fields.
0600 file perms keep other OS users out, but not another app running as the
same user — and that is the threat model the CLI actually cares about.
Introduce a SecretStore indirection:
* identity.json now persists only the public parts plus a typed
`secret: IdentitySecret` envelope (keychain | ncryptsec | plaintext).
* macOS uses `/usr/bin/security` (Keychain ACLs bind the item to the binary
that stored it, so other same-user apps need user consent).
* Linux uses `secret-tool` if a Secret Service is running on the session
D-Bus; the gain there is at-rest encryption while the keyring is locked.
* On any platform without a keychain, auto falls back to NIP-49
(scrypt + XChaCha20) with the passphrase read from --passphrase-file,
then $AMY_PASSPHRASE, then a TTY prompt. Another same-user app can read
the blob but cannot decrypt it without the passphrase.
* `--secret-backend=plaintext` is an explicit opt-in for dev scripts and
the interop test harness.
Legacy identity.json files that still carry top-level privKeyHex/nsec are
read transparently and auto-migrate on the next save.
whoami, `create` / `login` existence checks, and init-re-run now use a
metadata-only load path so they do not trigger a keychain prompt or ask
for a passphrase just to echo the npub.
Tests: cli/tests/ setups wire --secret-backend=plaintext through the amy_a
/ amy_d wrappers so headless CI runs do not stall on a TTY passphrase
prompt.

`tools/` is for libraries (arti-build); shell-based interop harnesses
that drive the `amy` binary belong with the CLI module. New layout:
cli/tests/
├── lib.sh # shared logging + result tracking
├── headless/helpers.sh # shared amy_a / amy_json / assertions
├── marmot/ # MLS group-messaging interop (vs whitenoise-rs)
│ ├── marmot-interop.sh
│ ├── marmot-interop-headless.sh
│ ├── setup.sh
│ ├── tests-create.sh
│ ├── tests-manage.sh
│ ├── tests-extras.sh
│ └── patches/
└── dm/ # NIP-17 DM interop (amy ↔ amy)
├── dm-interop-headless.sh
├── setup.sh
└── tests-dm.sh
Per-suite changes:
- Each suite owns its own setup.sh; previously the Marmot setup was at
headless/setup.sh and the DM setup at headless/setup-dm.sh, which
implied shared infra they don't actually share.
- `cli/tests/lib.sh` and `cli/tests/headless/helpers.sh` are the only
shared bits across suites.
- The DM harness still reuses Marmot's `start_local_relay` /
`stop_local_relay` (sourced via `../marmot/setup.sh`) — same relay
binary, no duplication.
- All sourcing paths updated; REPO_ROOT now climbs three levels (was
two when the harness lived under `tools/`); patches/ is now a sibling
of marmot/setup.sh rather than under marmot/headless/.
- `.gitignore` updated to cover both suites' state dirs.
cli/ROADMAP.md and cli/tests/README.md updated to point at the new paths.
No behavioural change — every test runs the same code; only the file
layout and source paths moved.
