    # This isn't well-documented on its own; until it is,

    #
    # Warnings:
    # - Don't search "xart" if porn will cause you trouble :)
    # - Other xartutil flags do dangerous things. Don't run them
    #   naively. If you must, search "xartutil" first.
    #
    # Assumptions:
    # - the "xART session seeds recovery utility"
    #   appears to interact with xartstorageremoted
    # - `sudo xartutil --list` lists xART sessions
    #   and their seeds and exits 0 if successful. If
    #   not, it exits 1 and prints an error such as:
    #   xartutil: ERROR: No supported link to the SEP present
    # - xART sessions/seeds are present when a T2 chip is
    #   (and not, otherwise)
    # - the presence of a T2 chip means a newly-created
    #   volume on the primary drive will be
    #   encrypted at rest
    # - all together: `sudo xartutil --list`
    #   should exit 0 if a new Nix Store volume will
    #   be encrypted at rest, and exit 1 if not.
