chore(release): v0.1.2

fix: unambiguous repo key names, clearer config and key names, and a newer lazysecrets's files no longer stop an older one (#66 )
Changes that would break configs or links once people use lazysecrets, made while nobody does yet. - **Repo key names**: a dot or bracket inside a key is escaped (`app\.name`), so links to it resolve to that key and not to `app` → `name`. Dotenv files are flat, so their names stay as they are. - **Config**: `updates.updateSources` is now `updates.sources`. A negative provider timeout, or `--timeout` of 0 or less, is an error instead of making every request fail. - **Keybindings**: `lists.share` is now `lists.copyLink`, `lists.search` is `lists.goTo` and `lists.enter` is `lists.open`, matching what they do. - **Version skew**, e.g. a lazysecrets.nvim theme file made for a newer lazysecrets: - an unknown theme role is skipped with a warning instead of stopping startup; - a state file from a newer version is read but not saved to, with a warning; - a link with an unknown provider suggests `lazysecrets update`.

keb	a81fcaa5a6	fix: unambiguous repo key names, clearer config and key names, and a newer lazysecrets's files no longer stop an older one (#66 ) Changes that would break configs or links once people use lazysecrets, made while nobody does yet. - Repo key names: a dot or bracket inside a key is escaped (`app\.name`), so links to it resolve to that key and not to `app` → `name`. Dotenv files are flat, so their names stay as they are. - Config: `updates.updateSources` is now `updates.sources`. A negative provider timeout, or `--timeout` of 0 or less, is an error instead of making every request fail. - Keybindings: `lists.share` is now `lists.copyLink`, `lists.search` is `lists.goTo` and `lists.enter` is `lists.open`, matching what they do. - Version skew, e.g. a lazysecrets.nvim theme file made for a newer lazysecrets: - an unknown theme role is skipped with a warning instead of stopping startup; - a state file from a newer version is read but not saved to, with a warning; - a link with an unknown provider suggests `lazysecrets update`.

Karl-Einar Bergstrøm	4377eb98bf	feat: share env files as encrypted links (#54 ) Share `.env` files as an encrypted `lazysecrets://share/…` link. The files are encrypted with a secret's value, so anyone who can read that secret can open the link. Sharing: `S` → `f` on a repo (all its plain env files), an env file, or a key in one (its file). - The key is `share.key` from the repo's `.lazysecrets.yaml`, else from the config. It can be a `lazysecrets://` link, a Key Vault URL or an `@Microsoft.KeyVault(...)` reference. - Without `share.key`, a picker built on Go to opens, titled "Share .env", with "Pick a secret to encrypt with" in its own border. It lists only secrets, leaving out values from plain `.env` files. Pasting a reference picks it. Picking shares at once, and the picker stays open until the link is copied. If the secret can't be used, the reason shows in red in the picker: it can't be read, or it doesn't meet `share.keyRules` (which rule failed is named). `esc` cancels. - `share.keyRules` (defaults `minLength: 32`, `minClasses: 2`; never under 16) applies when sharing, not when opening. - On Azure, the link pins the key's version, so rotating the key doesn't break old links, and disabling a version revokes them. - The command line: `lazysecrets share [--key <secret>] <env files>`. Opening works by paste, `ctrl+o`, the clipboard offer, the link handler or `lazysecrets <link>`. 1. It first says which repo the link is from, how many files it holds and which key it uses, and decrypts only after `o`. 2. It saves into the repo's clone, found by its remote, showing which files are new, which would replace one there, and which git doesn't ignore. 3. Without a clone, it asks for a folder and saves straight away. The prompt stays open, with the reason in red, until the files are written. 4. If decryption fails, a popup says why: the first line of the reason, `r` for the whole message, `g` to go to the key's secret. A key that has changed is named by where it lives: a Databricks or SOPS value changed in place, an Azure current version that isn't the one the link was made with, or a pinned version, meaning the link may be damaged. Format (`internal/share`): a version byte, then a JSON header with the key, the repo and the file count, then an age file (scrypt 2^15, with the key's value as passphrase) holding the files as deflated JSON, all as unpadded base64url. Links are capped at 16 KB. A future format gets a new version, and old ones stay readable. Safety: - A link can only write env files, inside the folder: never in `.git`, never through a symlink. - New files are created with mode 0600. - Opening accepts an scrypt work factor of at most 2^20, and unpacks at most 1 MB. Along the way: - Opening a link to a secret ends on its details, as `enter` would. - `o` on an Azure secret opens its portal page, and in the versions view, that version's page. - The details pane follows its secret's list when it reloads in the background. Before, it kept what it showed first, including an old portal address. - `ref.Read` is shared by `get` and sharing, with Azure `VersionedValue` for pinning. - `provider.Contents` lets the demo repos share their env files. `--demo` has a share key (`kv-shared-prod / env-share`), so the whole flow works there. - New dependency: `filippo.io/age`. Tested end to end in the TUI and the demo, the CLI, and the `share` package. In a real vault: version pinning, opening into a clone, and revocation by disabling the version. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: #54	2026-10-13 14:55:22 +02:00
keb	2044341b20	feat: e on the status pane edits the config (#55 ) `e` on the status pane (`0`) opens your config file, as in lazygit's status panel. The status footer shows it as `e edit config`. There's no global key. It opens the config the same way `e` opens a local file: - inside nvim, in that nvim (lazysecrets quits); - otherwise in `$VISUAL` or `$EDITOR`, coming back after; - otherwise in the system's default app. It opens the first config file: your own, also when `--config` layers several. A config that doesn't exist yet is created with a comment linking to its docs. Closing the editor says "restart lazysecrets to use it", since the config is read at startup. Docs: keys.md (status pane) and config.md. Tested: the default app with a new config, nvim with an existing one left unchanged, the restart message, and the footer. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: #55 Co-authored-by: Karl-Einar Bergstrøm <karl-einarb@outlook.com>	2026-10-13 13:03:43 +02:00
