Add cp, folder mv, get -r, and unlock/lock to remember the key
Filesystem basics: mv now moves folders as well as files, and like mv(1) a NEW ending in / or naming an existing folder means into it. cp copies a file, or a folder with -r, by writing new records that share the original's objects, so it is instant and takes no space; rm already keeps objects another record still uses. New records go first, so an interrupted move leaves both names, never neither. get -r extracts a folder, keeping its structure. vault unlock [--for 5m] checks the passphrase and starts the binary again as a hidden __agent process, handing it the suite ID and seed over a pipe. The agent keeps them in mlocked memory, with core dumps off and (on Linux) PR_SET_DUMPABLE cleared, serves them on a Unix socket in a 0700 per-user directory whose owner is checked on every use, and wipes them and exits at a hard deadline or on vault lock. Commands ask it first unless VAULT_PASSPHRASE is set, and genkey stops any agent left for that path. Guide, man pages (new vault-cp, vault-unlock, vault-lock), README and screenshots updated; the guide's error table is split so it fits.
