What
Security analysis and confirmation of the relationship between temporary store access and account authentication in the lazy private key loading implementation.
Why
Review feedback questioned whether the lazy key derivation at line 1514 could be exploited in LOCKED state to extract private keys without password authentication. This PR documents the security model and confirms defense-in-depth protections are correctly implemented.
