vault¶

Reference

vault operates on the physical local storage layer. Use it when you need exact behavior for inspecting or maintaining persisted vault files rather than the resolved runtime view.

envctl vault check
envctl vault show
envctl vault path
envctl vault edit
envctl vault prune

Purpose¶

The vault is the physical local store.

Vault commands focus on the actual persisted files rather than the higher-level contract model.

What these commands do¶

These commands inspect or maintain physical vault files.

Available subcommands¶

envctl vault check
envctl vault show
envctl vault path
envctl vault edit
envctl vault prune

When to use it¶

Use vault commands when you need to inspect or maintain the physical stored state on disk.

When not to use it¶

Do not use vault commands when your real question is about the resolved runtime environment. Use inspect or check first.

Notes¶

Use vault commands when you need to inspect or maintain the physical state on disk, not when you want the resolved runtime view.

see inspect for resolved state
see sync for generated dotenv artifacts

Vault concept¶

Go back to the conceptual role of local storage in the model.
