cli: avoid data-dir initialization for version; create db parent dirs; redact generated passwords in CLI output

- Prevent 'nx9-wg version' from creating data directories by avoiding database initialization.
- Create parent directories when an explicit --database path is provided.
- Redact printed generated administrator passwords; announce file path or redact instead.

+# NX9 WireGuard (`nx9-wg`)
+
+> **A native Rust, self-hosted WireGuard appliance and network management engine for the NX9 ecosystem.**
+
+`nx9-wg` is designed from first principles as a clean, high-performance replacement for Node.js-based WireGuard managers (such as `wg-easy`). Built entirely in native Rust with zero external scripting runtime dependencies, `nx9-wg` provides authoritative SQLite persistence, robust administrative authentication, native Linux kernel networking, automated reconciliation, and pure Rust QR code and client configuration generation.
+
+---
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Native Rust Systems Architecture**: Zero Node.js, npm, Python, Electron, or external daemon runners.
+- **Authoritative SQLite State**: Fully migration-driven schema with WAL mode, foreign key integrity, and isolated repository operations.
+- **Single Administrator Security Model**: Strictly 1 administrator identity (`CHECK (id = 1)`), Argon2id password hashing, SHA-256 API token authentication, and sliding-window brute force lockout.
+- **Native Linux WireGuard Engine**: Direct interaction with Linux networking and kernel interfaces without shelling out to `wg` or `wg-quick`.
+- **nftables Isolation**: Dedicated `table inet nx9_wg` with input, forward, and NAT postrouting masquerade chains.
+- **Continuous Reconciliation**: Automated drift detection and idempotent convergence between desired database state and live Linux kernel state.
+- **Pure Rust Client Enrollment**: Full-tunnel and split-tunnel `.conf` builder, high-resolution SVG/PNG QR generator, and ASCII terminal QR output.
+- **Consistent Backups**: Atomic SQLite snapshots (`VACUUM INTO`), manifest hashing with SHA-256, verification, and safety snapshots before restore.
+- **Complete CLI & Axum REST API**: Multi-format CLI (`table`, `json`, `yaml`, `csv`) and RESTful API with real-time WebSocket telemetry.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Build and Run Tests
+```bash
+# Build the workspace
+cargo build --release
+
+# Run all 41 unit and integration tests
+cargo test --workspace
+```
+
+### 2. Initialize the Administrator
+```bash
+# Initialize with a generated password:
+cargo run -- init --generate-password
+
+# Or initialize with a specific password:
+cargo run -- init --username admin --password "YourStrongPassword123!"
+```
+
+### 3. Start the Daemon
+```bash
+cargo run -- serve --bind 0.0.0.0:8080
+```
+
+### 4. Create an Interface and Enroll a Peer via CLI
+```bash
+# Create WireGuard interface wg0
+cargo run -- interface create --name wg0 --port 51820 --address-v4 10.0.0.1/24
+
+# Create peer Alice
+cargo run -- peer create --interface-id <INTERFACE_UUID> --name alice --address-v4 10.0.0.2/32
+
+# Display terminal QR code for instant mobile scan:
+cargo run -- peer qr <PEER_UUID>
+
+# Print client .conf file:
+cargo run -- peer config <PEER_UUID>
+```
+
+---

+# nx9-db — SQLite Persistence Layer
+
+`nx9-db` provides the authoritative SQLite persistence layer for the `nx9-wg` native Rust WireGuard management system.
+
+## Architectural Boundaries
+
+- **Authoritative State**: SQLite is the authoritative persistent store for `nx9-wg` desired state. It stores what the system intends the network, interfaces, peers, routes, firewall rules, administrator credentials, sessions, tokens, and settings to be.
+- **Separation of Concerns**: SQLite records desired configuration only. Live kernel state (WireGuard interface status, handshake counters, packet counters, live nftables rules, live kernel routes) is queried directly from Linux kernel subsystems in later phases.
+- **SQL Encapsulation**: All SQL queries, SQLite connection lifecycle, migrations, and row conversions are strictly encapsulated inside `nx9-db`. Neither `nx9-core`, `nx9-api`, `nx9-ui`, `nx9-wireguard`, nor `nx9-network` issue SQL directly.
+
+## SQLite Configuration
+
+Every connection opened by `Store` enforces:
+- `PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL` — Write-Ahead Logging for high-concurrency read/write operations.
+- `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON` — Strict relational integrity across all tables.
+- `PRAGMA busy_timeout = 5000` — 5-second busy timeout to avoid contention errors.
+- `PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL` — Optimal reliability and performance in WAL mode.
+
+## Database Schema (12 Tables)
+
+1. `admin` — Single administrator identity (`CHECK (id = 1)`), Argon2id password hash, TOTP secrets, and login timestamp.
+2. `sessions` — Admin web sessions (`ON DELETE CASCADE`).
+3. `login_attempts` — IP-based login attempt tracking for brute-force rate limiting.
+4. `api_tokens` — Hashed API tokens for automation (`ON DELETE CASCADE`).
+5. `interfaces` — Desired WireGuard interfaces (`wg0`, `wg1`, etc.), private/public keys, listen port, IPv4/IPv6 CIDRs, MTU, DNS.
+6. `peers` — Desired WireGuard peer definitions, classifications (`road_warrior`, `site_gateway`, `server`, `relay`), states (`active`, `disabled`, `revoked`, `expired`), profiles (`full_tunnel`, `split_tunnel`, `custom`), public/private/preshared keys, AllowedIPs, endpoints, and persistent keepalives (`ON DELETE CASCADE`).
+7. `networks` — Named network CIDRs for routing and organization.
+8. `routes` — Desired kernel routing rules (`ON DELETE SET NULL`).
+9. `firewall_rules` — Desired firewall policy rules with priorities and directions (`in`, `out`, `forward`).
+10. `settings` — Key-value system settings with secret redaction support.
+11. `audit_events` — Append-only operational audit log with event filtering and pagination.
+12. `backups` — Backup metadata and manifest checksum records.
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+- Migrations are defined in `crates/nx9-db/migrations/` and embedded at compile time via `sqlx::migrate!("./migrations")`.
+- Migrations are executed automatically via `store.migrate().await?`.
+- Migrations are tracked in the `_sqlx_migrations` table for idempotency.
+
+## Usage in Code
+
+```rust
+use nx9_db::Store;
+use std::path::Path;
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Connect and auto-migrate
+    let store = Store::connect_path(Path::new("/var/lib/nx9-wg/nx9-wg.db")).await?;
+    store.migrate().await?;
+
+    // Create single admin if not initialized
+    if !store.admin_exists().await? {
+        store.create_admin("admin", "$argon2id$...").await?;
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+Tests use isolated in-memory or temporary file SQLite instances:
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p nx9-db
+```
