v0.8.1 - Lock Vault & Remember Password Bugfixes

What's New in v0.8.1 (Bugfix Release)

This release fixes two related bugs in the OS keyring / "Remember master password" feature introduced in v0.8.0.

Bug 1: "Lock Vault" instantly logged you back in

If "Remember master password" was enabled, pressing the Lock Vault icon appeared to do nothing - the screen would flash and immediately return to the connection list. This happened because the vault screen always checked the keyring and auto-unlocked on load, with no way to distinguish "app just started" from "user just explicitly logged out."

Fix: Lock Vault now opens the unlock screen in a mode that skips the auto-unlock check, so locking actually locks.

Bug 2: Unchecking "Remember master password" didn't take effect right away

Unchecking the box only updated in-memory state. The actual keyring deletion was deferred until the next successful unlock/create submission. If you unchecked the box and closed the app without submitting, the stored password was never removed - so the app kept auto-logging in on the next launch, and you'd have to log in, uncheck it, and log out a second time before it actually stuck.

Fix: Unchecking the box now deletes the stored credential from the OS keyring (Windows Credential Manager / Linux Secret Service) immediately, no form submission required.
