### Dependencies Configured

#### Path Dependencies (Nushell Integration)
```toml
nu-plugin = { version = "0.107.1", path = "../nushell/crates/nu-plugin" }
nu-protocol = { version = "0.107.1", path = "../nushell/crates/nu-protocol", features = ["plugin"] }
```

#### External Dependencies (KMS Backends)
```toml
rusty_vault = "0.2.1"          # RustyVault client
age = "0.10"                   # Age encryption
base64 = "0.22"                # Base64 encoding
serde = "1.0"                  # Serialization
serde_json = "1.0"             # JSON support
reqwest = "0.12"               # HTTP client (fallback)
tokio = "1.40"                 # Async runtime
tempfile = "3.10"              # Temporary files
```

### Helper Functions (Stub)

```rust
// src/helpers.rs
pub enum Backend {
    RustyVault,
    Age,
    Cosmian,
    Fallback,
}

pub fn detect_backend() -> Backend
pub fn encode_base64(data: &[u8]) -> String
pub fn decode_base64(data: &str) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>
```

### Pattern Compliance

✅ **Follows nu_plugin_tera structure exactly**:
- Same Cargo.toml pattern (path dependencies to ../nushell/)
- Same Plugin trait implementation
- Same SimplePluginCommand pattern
- Same module organization (helpers.rs, tests.rs)
- Same category: `Custom("provisioning".into())`
- Same serializer: `MsgPackSerializer`

## Integration Points

### 1. Config System Integration
Plugin should read configuration from provisioning config:
```toml
[kms]
backend = "rustyvault"  # or "age", "cosmian", "http"
rustyvault_addr = "http://localhost:8200"
age_recipients_file = "~/.config/provisioning/age/recipients.txt"
cosmian_endpoint = "https://cosmian.example.com"
http_fallback_url = "http://localhost:8080/kms"
```

### 2. Environment Variables
```bash
KMS_BACKEND=rustyvault|age|cosmian|http
VAULT_ADDR=http://localhost:8200
VAULT_TOKEN=...
AGE_RECIPIENTS_FILE=...
AGE_IDENTITY_FILE=...
COSMIAN_ENDPOINT=...
KMS_HTTP_ENDPOINT=...
```

### 3. Nushell Integration
After building, register the plugin:
```nushell
plugin add target/release/nu_plugin_kms
plugin use kms
```

Usage examples:
```nushell
# Encrypt data
"my secret" | kms encrypt --backend rustyvault

# Decrypt data
"ENCRYPTED_DATA" | kms decrypt --backend rustyvault

# Generate key
kms generate-key --spec AES256

# Check status
kms status
```

### 4. CLI Integration
The provisioning CLI can use this plugin for:
- Config file encryption (`provisioning config encrypt`)
- Secret management (`provisioning secrets encrypt`)
- Dynamic secret generation
- KMS health monitoring

## Success Criteria

### Phase 1 (Completed ✅)
- [x] Plugin structure created following nu_plugin_tera pattern
- [x] All 4 commands defined with proper signatures
- [x] Plugin compiles without errors
- [x] Plugin responds to protocol handshake
- [x] Dependencies configured with path references
- [x] README documentation complete

### Phase 2 (Pending 🟡)
- [ ] All 4 backends implemented (RustyVault, Age, Cosmian, HTTP)
- [ ] Backend auto-detection working
- [ ] All commands perform real encryption/decryption
- [ ] Comprehensive test suite (unit + integration)
- [ ] Error handling complete
- [ ] Documentation with examples
- [ ] Performance benchmarks passing
- [ ] Security audit passed

## Timeline Estimate

| Phase | Tasks | Estimated Time |
|-------|-------|---------------|
| Phase 1: Base Structure | 5 files, basic structure | ✅ Completed |
| Phase 2: Backend Implementation | 4 backends, tests, docs | ~8-12 hours |
| Phase 3: Integration Testing | End-to-end testing | ~2-4 hours |
| Phase 4: Documentation | User guide, examples | ~2-3 hours |
| **Total** | - | **12-19 hours** |
