ppk key check

Verify ppk.key and ppk.pwd in the standard key directory match and the private key unlocks.

Command Format:

ppk key check --key-home <DIR>
ppk key check --private-key-file <FILE> --private-key-pwd-file <FILE>

Usage Sample

ppk key check --key-home ~/.peppykeep/keys/project-a
ppk key check --private-key-file /Volumes/PPK_SAFE/keys/project-a/ppk.key \
  --private-key-pwd-file /Volumes/PPK_SAFE/keys/project-a/ppk.pwd

Checks show file presence, checksums, and match results—not private keys or passphrases. Fix the key directory before restore if files are missing, passphrases mismatch, or permissions fail.
