Each machine (and each browser) you sign in on holds its own key. wendy auth login creates it and registers it with Wendy Cloud, signed with your operator key; a certificate refresh retries a registration that did not go through.

If registration fails, wendy auth login and a certificate refresh (such as wendy auth refresh-certs, or the automatic renewal before a command) print a warning and leave the key unbound. It is registered at the next sign-in or certificate refresh, or when you run wendy registry key show.

show asks Wendy Cloud whether it still holds the key and registers it again if not. It prints registered, re-registered, or unregistered with the reason Cloud refused it.

CommandDescription
showPrints the key id and registers the key if Cloud does not hold it
rotateReplaces the key with a new one and registers it
FlagDescription
--cloud-grpcCloud gRPC endpoint of the session to use

After a rotation, releases wrapped to the old key must be wrapped again to the new one by another of your signed-in devices.
