Thank you for your work and thanks for your immense patience answering mostly-already-addressed concerns of someone who has not bothered to even read the article. It's bad form; noble of you to answer (and hopefully useful for others / posterity).

_edit_ spent some time on your blog (turns out I've done that before - recognised style as well as furry universe / ontology; nice feeling to return). Reading reasons for disliking AES-GCM (always liked this simplicity + auth-baked-in AEAD approach as a dev/architect/user of applied crypto)...

If you see this _edit_ - do you use any specific tools to generate various sequence / flow diagrams? anything besides mermaid (+ draw.io, I somehow never got rid of using this one in times of urgent need...)? Thanks :)
