ppk key verify-recovery-kit

Verify recovery kit file integrity, key/passphrase pairing, and optional real-backup decrypt.

Command Format:

ppk key verify-recovery-kit --kit-dir <DIR>
ppk key verify-recovery-kit --kit-dir <DIR> --backup-file <FILE>

Usage Sample

ppk key verify-recovery-kit \
  --kit-dir /Volumes/PPK_SAFE/recovery-kits/project-a

ppk key verify-recovery-kit \
  --kit-dir /Volumes/PPK_SAFE/recovery-kits/project-a \
  --backup-file /data/backup/sample.ppke

Validation checks required files, checksums.sha256, ppk.key, and ppk.pwd; with a backup sample it also verifies decrypt. Do not use a failed kit for production restore.
