Concepts docs: E2EE device identity & key lifecycle (backend) #445

Closed

Description

@codebestia

Write apps/backend/docs/concepts-e2ee-key-management.md explaining the backend's role in the E2EE key lifecycle: device registration, prekey upload/consumption, key-bundle fetch, revocation, and how the devices/devicePrekeys tables model this.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Explains device registration through to revocation as one coherent lifecycle, referencing the actual routes/tables involved by name
  • Explains what the server can and cannot see (no private key material ever touches the backend) as an explicit statement
  • Cross-references the relevant api-*.md and contracts-*.md docs
