Decode the base64 comment line to pick the shareable key.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Minisign Keypairs: Only the .pub Is Shareable ## When to Use Before sharing, committing, or pasting a Tauri/minisign signing key — and whenever a key blob has to be classified as secret or shareable. `tauri signer generate -w <path>` writes the password-ENCRYPTED SECRET key to `<path>` and prints/writes the PUBLIC key separately at `<path>.pub`. Both are base64 blobs starting `dW50cnVzdGVkIGNvbW1lbnQ6...` — indistinguishable at a glance. Treating the wrong one as shareable leaks a signing key. ## Procedure Decode the comment line before trusting which one you hold: - `untrusted comment: rsign encrypted secret key` → PRIVATE — never paste, never commit; escrow per procedure (password manager + offline backup). - `untrusted comment: minisign public key: <HEXID>` → shareable; this is the value that goes INLINE in Tauri `plugins.updater.pubkey`. ## Pitfalls - Choosing by file extension. The secret is the base file; the `.pub` sibling is the shareable one — the extension is the only reliable hint, the bytes are not. - Decoding *after* the key has been used. The decode must precede any use. - Improvising a rotation mid-incident. Rotate via a bridge release that trusts a …

How to install
mdr add savant0x/savant-code/minisign-pubkey-vs-secret-key@sha256:64485f0825f8a10aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
