The key store was hard-wired to linux-keyutils, making native runs on macOS/Windows impossible. The kernel keyring remains the store on linux; other platforms get an in-memory store (zeroized on drop, with expiry). linux-keyutils is now a linux-only target dependency, and the http layer matches on a crate-local KeyUnavailableError instead of linux_keyutils::KeyError. Keyring retrieval reads the actual payload length via read_to_vec instead of assuming 32 bytes, so secrets of any length roundtrip unchanged on both store implementations.

immediate-expiry semantics for zero or sub-second durations without passing 0 to
Linux, matching memory.rs behavior. Apply the same policy at both timeout call

linux_keyutils Rust Key::set_timeout KEYCTL_SET_TIMEOUT zero timeout contract
💡 Result:
In the Linux key retention service, the KEYCTL_SET_TIMEOUT operation is used to set or clear an expiration timer on a key [1][2]. The contract for using a zero value as the timeout is explicitly defined to clear any existing expiration timer [3][4][2]. When Key::set_timeout (or the underlying keyctl_set_timeout system call) is invoked with a timeout value of 0, the kernel removes the previously set expiration timer, effectively making the key persist indefinitely (provided it is not otherwise revoked or removed) [4][1][2]. Key technical points regarding this contract: - Zeroing the timeout: Specifying 0 as the timeout value explicitly cancels the expiration timer [4][1][2]. This behavior is consistent across both the raw kernel system call interface and the common Rust wrappers (such as linux-keyutils and keyutils) [3][5][6]. - Prerequisites: To set or clear a timeout, the caller must have setattr permission on the target key or hold an instantiation authorization token [3][6][2]. - Restrictions: This operation cannot be applied to keys that are already revoked, expired, or negatively instantiated [3][6][2]. Additionally, if a key is marked with the KEY_FLAG_KEEP flag, the kernel will prevent modification of its timeout [7]. - Verification: The only way to discover the current timeout of a key is by inspecting the /proc/keys file [3][6][2]. Sources: [3], [4], [6], [1], [7], [2]

Preserve zero-duration expiry semantics.
When timeout is zero or less than one second, timeout.as_secs() passes 0 to linux_keyutils::Key::set_timeout at lines 16 and 31. Linux interprets 0 as clearing the expiry timer. The key can therefore remain valid indefinitely, while memory.rs rejects zero-duration keys immediately. Apply an explicit cross-backend policy that does not pass 0 for immediate expiry, and add a Linux regression test.
