`derivepassphrase` is not explicitly written with concurrency in mind. This may come around to bite us when the “free-threaded“ build of Python no becomes a main feature.
Irrespective of that, it is a good idea anyway to have a clear picture on which parts of `derivepassphrase` are not threadsafe, and to which degree.
**Therefore**, audit `derivepassphrase` for concurrency/thread-safety issues.
--------
Off the top of my head, the main parts of `derivepassphrase` in the `export` and `vault` subcommands each construct their own data and only compute a result or read from the data, so there are no read-write or write-write dependencies.
The exceptions to this are the global logging and warnings handlers, which modify global state, and the `--config` option to `vault`, which writes back file contents.
