The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code cleanup that splits one combined AES-GCM encryption/decryption class into two separate classes: one for encryption and one for decryption. It does not fix a security bug or introduce a new vulnerability. The change makes the API clearer and prevents accidental misuse, such as trying to decrypt with an encryption-only object.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal refactoring commit. Reviewers may verify that all former `aesgcm` consumers were updated and that the new decrypt-only class is used wherever ciphertext is verified.

Security signals we found

01

API hardening: encryption and decryption contexts are now separate types, reducing risk of calling the wrong operation on a shared context

02

Decrypt finish now requires a 16-byte expected tag and uses constant-time comparison via consteq

03

No change to cryptographic primitives, key handling, IV generation, or tag computation
