Secrets-004–009, 011, 012, 014–016, 018 and 019 marked Resolved with commit, fix and regression
evidence; Secrets open findings 13 -> 0; code-reviews/README.md regenerated (--check passes).
CHANGELOG 0.6.6 records the fixes, behaviour changes and the #49 follow-ups.

`secret set`/`rotate` took the plaintext as a positional argument (shell
history, process list), and Program handed argv to
Host.CreateApplicationBuilder, whose command-line config provider crashed on
a value like "-p=Hunter2Secret" with the value in the unhandled
FormatException on stderr.
- SetCommandLine: `set|rotate <name> [-|--value-stdin]`; no value reads piped
stdin or prompts twice (masked) at a TTY; one trailing newline dropped;
empty refused. The positional <value> still works and warns on stderr.
- host built from HostApplicationBuilderSettings without argv; startup
failures print `secret: startup failed: <msg>` and exit 1
- unexpected trailing arguments reported by position, not echoed
- tests: SetCommandLineTests incl. two child-process runs of the built CLI;
the -p=Hunter2Secret probe fails (leaks) on the old Program.cs

SecretEditor and ConfirmDeleteModal wrote the success audit inside the same
try as the store write, so a throwing IAuditWriter after a committed
add/rotate/delete showed an error, wrote a Failure audit and skipped the
resolver-cache eviction - the old plaintext kept resolving for the TTL.
The mutation try now covers only the cipher + store call; the success audit
is best-effort afterwards and logs a warning (no value) on failure, so the
change is reported saved, the callback fires and the cache is evicted.
- tests: AuditFailureAfterCommitTests (add, rotate, delete) with a throwing
success audit; all fail without the fix

The replication actor was created only when something resolved ISecretStore
(store -> replicator -> SecretReplicationActorProvider.ActorRef). A node that
expanded its ${secret:} references pre-host and never touched the store at
runtime had no actor: no topic subscription, no announces, no pull replies.
AddZbSecretsAkkaReplication now registers SecretReplicationActorStarter, which
creates the actor on IHostApplicationLifetime.ApplicationStarted (after every
hosted service, incl. an Akka.Hosting AkkaHostedService registered later), or
in StartAsync when no lifetime is registered.
- tests: EagerActorStartTests (generic host in both registration orders with a
no-actor-before-start control; bare container) - all fail without the fix

ExpandConfigurationAsync wrote through config[key] = ..., which only sets the
providers' in-memory Data; a file provider's reload replaces it, so editing
appsettings.json on a running service reverted every expanded key to its
${secret:...} placeholder.
- ConfigurationManager: expanded values are pinned in an internal overlay
source appended last; its provider's Load() is a no-op and Build always
returns the same provider, so reloads (and source rebuilds) keep the pins
- any other IConfigurationRoot: in-place write as before, re-applied from the
root's reload token
- all references resolve before anything is written (a fail-closed miss no
longer leaves the config half expanded)
- tests: SecretExpansionReloadTests (real JSON file + Reload(), options
monitor, plain root); three fail without the fix
- docs: README reload note, CHANGELOG

The SQL-Server extensions called the 3-arg AddZbSecrets, and the store-path
validator captured the content root of whichever call registered it first.
In hub mode no registration order applied the pre-host under-content-root
guard: extension-first dropped the app's 4-arg root, core-first lost the
replicator (#30). That is the 0.6.0 store-path hole, reopened.
- AddZbSecretsSqlServerStore / AddZbSecretsSqlServerReplication /
AddZbSecretsAkkaReplication gain a trailing optional contentRootPath,
forwarded to the 4-arg AddZbSecrets
- the root now lives in one SecretsContentRoot instance holder per service
collection; the last explicit root wins, null never erases one; the
IHostEnvironment fallback is unchanged
- tests: ContentRootTests (hub mode, three compositions, artifact asserted
before the throw, positive control), last-explicit-wins theory in
SecretsStorePathRulesTests, Akka forwarding test

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GT67AEHd2Acv1YPwGfXEoV
AddZbSecretsSqlServerStore / AddZbSecretsSqlServerReplication (and the Akka
extension, same defect class) TryAdd-ed their ISecretStore, ISecretsStoreMigrator
and ISecretReplicator ahead of their internal AddZbSecrets call. An application
that had already called AddZbSecrets therefore silently kept the SQLite store
(shared-store mode) or NoOpSecretReplicator (hub/Akka modes).
They now call AddZbSecrets first and RemoveAll + AddSingleton their own
registrations; a later AddZbSecrets only TryAdds, so either order yields the
same graph with exactly one ISecretStore registration.
- tests: RegistrationOrderTests (SqlServer + Akka) build and resolve the real
container in both orders; core-first fails without the fix
- Directory.Build.props 0.6.5 -> 0.6.6 (NOT packed or published)
