v1.34.1: Safer profiles, exports, and macOS binaries

A patch release focused on safety and correctness: unknown profiles now fail loudly instead of silently falling back to defaults, dotenv exports survive Docker Compose interpolation, interactive daemon cache misses regain access to your terminal, and macOS release binaries are now notarized.

Fixed

• Unknown profiles are rejected (#741) -- @jdx. An active profile that has neither a [profiles.<name>] table nor a matching fnox.<name>.toml overlay now errors (listing the available profiles) instead of silently falling back to top-level secrets, which could leak defaults on a typo. Shell integration (hook-env) also refuses unknown profiles. Creating new profiles via set, import, and provider add still works.

• Dotenv export preserves dollar signs (#746) -- @jdx. Secrets containing $ are now emitted in single quotes so Docker Compose no longer interpolates them, falling back to double quotes with \$ escaping when needed. Dotenv import was aligned to match: it reassembles multiline single-quoted values, unescapes \', and treats \$ in double quotes as a literal dollar sign.

• Interactive daemon cache misses resolve in the foreground (#743) -- @jdx. When the daemon misses its cache for an interactive client, the missing keys are now resolved in the foreground so PIN, touch, browser, and auth-command prompts reach the invoking terminal; resolved values are then sent back to the daemon for reuse. Non-interactive callers continue to resolve daemon-side and never prompt.

• age batch decryption prompts once (#755) -- @jdx. fnox sync now wraps a single random key with age per batch and encrypts each secret under it, so age (and hardware-backed plugins) only prompt once per sync instead of once per secret. Existing sync caches remain readable, and re-running fnox sync migrates them to the batched format.

Security

• Hardened secret injection boundaries (#763) -- @jdx. Secret names must now be valid environment identifiers (^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$), enforced when loading, validating, running set, and import, with shell emitters quoting names defensively across Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell. exec and MCP exec now strip ambient FNOX_AGE_KEY and FNOX_AGE_KEY_FILE before spawning child processes while still injecting explicitly configured secrets.

Changed

• macOS release binaries are now notarized (#764) -- @jdx. The signed macOS binary is submitted to Apple's notary service and built with a hardened runtime, so downloads (which carry the quarantine bit) no longer hit the Gatekeeper "cannot be verified" dialog.

Documentation

• Generated CLI configuration docs now HTML-encode angle brackets so placeholders like <path> render correctly instead of being parsed as Vue elements (#739) -- @jdx.
• Sync docs now call out the golden path and hardware-backed decryption (#748) -- @jdx.
