Summary

Improve help text for Signing Key field to prevent user confusion.

Changes

  1. UI: Added tooltip to "Signing Key" column in profile settings explaining the field is optional

  2. FAQ: Added entry explaining:

    • What Signing Key does (detached signatures for .gpg-id files)
    • That it should usually be left empty
    • Common mistake: putting GPG key ID causes "Signature does not exist" errors

Fixes

Fixes issue #599 where users put their GPG key ID in Signing Key field causing save failures.

Add tooltip to Signing Key column in profile settings and FAQ entry
