feat: Phase 4 - Download & Decryption (Client-Side File Encryption)

[kevalyq]

Description

Implements Phase 4: Download & Decryption of Epic #143 (Client-Side File Encryption for Zero-Knowledge Architecture).

This PR adds the ability to download encrypted file attachments and decrypt them client-side, maintaining the zero-knowledge architecture where the backend cannot read file contents.

Fixes: #176
Part of: #143
Depends on: #175 (Phase 3 - Upload Integration)

🎯 Implementation Summary

New Features

1. Download & Decrypt API Function (secretApi.ts)

   • downloadAndDecryptAttachment(): Downloads encrypted blob from backend, decrypts client-side
   • Full roundtrip encryption/decryption with Web Crypto API (AES-GCM-256)
   • SHA-256 checksum verification for file integrity
   • Proper error handling (404, network errors, corruption detection)

2. AttachmentList Component (AttachmentList.tsx)

   • Displays encrypted file attachments with metadata
   • Download/Preview/Delete actions per file
   • File type icons (DocumentIcon, PhotoIcon, FilmIcon, etc.)
   • Human-readable file sizes (B, KB, MB, GB, TB)
   • Loading states for async operations
   • i18n support with Lingui

Technical Details

Decryption Flow:

1. GET /api/v1/attachments/{id}/download → Encrypted blob + metadata
2. Base64 decode → Binary encrypted data
3. Parse: [12 bytes IV][16 bytes AuthTag][...Ciphertext]
4. Derive file key: HKDF-SHA-256(masterKey, filename)
5. Decrypt: AES-GCM-256 with derived file key
6. Verify: SHA-256 checksum matches metadata.checksum
7. Return: File object with original filename + MIME type

Security:

• ✅ Master key stays in memory (never localStorage)
• ✅ Checksum verification ALWAYS enforced (no silent corruption)
• ✅ Error messages sanitized (no key leakage)
• ✅ Web Crypto API for cryptographic operations
