Each unlock saved the BitLocker/LUKS volume key in the case's volume_keys table, contradicting the README; anyone holding a case could decrypt the volume. Keys now stay in memory for the session. Opening an older case drops the table with secure_delete and VACUUM so the key bytes leave the file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
