tally backup

Back up an agent’s recovery phrase (the deliberate ceremony, K34).

Prints the 24-word phrase, then confirms you stored it by asking you to re-type two randomly chosen words. Success marks the seat backed up.

Non-interactive (--quiet or piped stdin): print-only; add --yes-i-stored-it to attest the words are stored and mark the seat.

Usage

tally backup [OPTIONS] [AGENT]

--status: Print the backed-up state per agent instead of the ceremony
--quiet: Skip the interactive confirm; print the phrase only
--yes-i-stored-it: With --quiet (or piped stdin): attest the words are stored offline and mark the seat backed up without the word confirm
