What does the storage layer (database) contain? Clear-text, usable data, or encrypted randomness?

Great question! I'd never actually checked, but opening up the SQLite database, it looks encrypted. I see a table `batch_upload_items` full of ciphertexts.
I'm running the old Python sync server for the time being.
