What's new

This is a beta build. Core features are functional but may still have issues. Feedback welcome.

Fix: macOS keychain prompts — for real this time.

Secret store now file-first (matching the Python backend). The sidecar reads credentials from ~/.zwork/secrets.json before ever touching the OS keychain, eliminating the keychain authorization prompts entirely on the read path. The keychain is now only a fallback for credentials missing from the file, and a best-effort sync target on writes. This restores the Python backend's "file" default mode (commit 16cc9a4), which the Rust rewrite had inadvertently discarded in favor of keychain-first reads.

The first launch after upgrading transparently migrates any existing keychain credentials into secrets.json, so file-first reads have data to find and never fall through to the keychain. After that one-time migration, the keychain is not consulted on reads at all — no prompts, ever.

(Beta 3's in-process cache was a partial measure that only reduced prompt count; this is the actual fix. The cache has been removed since it's no longer needed.)
