Privacy for Windows users costs money *and isn't privacy*. 
Windows 10/11 has built-in telemetry, Defender uploads samples to Microsoft, 
and the OS itself is a black box you can't audit. 

Wrapping a Windows laptop in Faraday fabric stops RF exfiltration, 
but doesn't stop the OS from logging keystrokes to encrypted storage 
that an attacker can dump after physical seizure.

Now, back to the original point: Forward Secrecy

Forward secrecy means: 

even if an attacker gets your long-term key today, they can't decrypt past messages. 
AEC doesn't have this property. 

AEC reuses the same Curve25519 key for all messages stored in `~/.aec/identity`.

There's no technical reason AEC couldn't add ephemeral key rotation for stored messages.

and again

Relying on user discipline for forward secrecy is poor security design.
