DocSafe v1.0.11 — recovery codes removed

Recovery codes have been removed.

The feature couldn't deliver its core promise. "Single-use" can't be enforced for an
offline vault file — the used-code strike only landed on a throwaway copy made during
import, never on the file you keep — so a code could be reused indefinitely by importing
the same file again. That made recovery codes effectively just extra always-valid
passwords stored inside the vault, no better than backing up your password, while adding
a crash and confusing behavior. So they're gone.

  • No more recovery-codes menu item, generation dialog, or "use a recovery code" import option.
  • Vault files that happen to contain a recovery block (made with 1.0.8–1.0.10) still open
    normally with their password — the block is simply ignored.
  • Export to new vault (export selected folders into a new password-protected .dsvault)
    is unchanged and still available.

If you forget a vault's password there is, by design, no backdoor — keep your master
password backed up somewhere safe.
