Quick Matrix

Area	Core control	Practical default
Encryption	Crypt remote	Dedicated encrypted prefix
Config hardening	Permissions	/etc/rclone + 600 config
CI secrets	Injection	Vault-backed ephemeral secrets
Privilege model	Scope by job	Read-only verify, delete only where needed
Rotation	Runbook	Stage, test, promote, revoke
