The artist, JT Nimoy, was an Emacs user but still thought it would be fun to set up a dichotomy--some fun details on this blog

I don't see any details about setting up a dichotomy in that article (just that the author was a happy Emacs user). Or maybe that was in that HN meetup you mention?

I wonder if they think of a deeper integration of this into the age binary. Currently the invocation looks extremely ugly:

    age -r $(go run filippo.io/torchwood/cmd/age-keylookup@main joe@example.com)

Exactly!

Bearer tokens should be replaced with schemes based on signing and the private keys should never be directly exposed (if they are there's no difference between them and a bearer token). Signing agents do just that. Github's API is based on HTTP but mutual TLS authentication with a signing agent should be sufficient.

It seems like everything you have described could be done with TPM: creating a signing key for TLS mutual authentication (against the secret store) with policy that allows using that key only if system configuration did not change (PCR values stay consistent). Additionally TPMs allow remote attestation (via quotes and endorsement keys).

So I'm wondering what's the advantage of Nitro Enclaves? Better out of the box tooling?
