## [0.5.0.0] - 2026-06-07
### Added
- **`secrets verify` (EGB-698)** — a read-only integrity check. Run it in a
project to cross-check the committed `.secrets.json` against the store both
ways (entries declared but missing from the store, and stored blobs with no
manifest entry) and decrypt-test every blob with your current key. Catches a
partially-synced store, a stale key, or a manifest that has drifted from the
store. Plaintext is streamed to `/dev/null` and never written to disk.
- **`secrets verify --all`** — decrypt-tests every blob in every project in the
store: a fast store-wide integrity sweep. (The store carries no manifests, so
`--all` checks decryptability only, not manifest consistency.)
- Both modes recurse the whole project tree, so nested entries and external
files are covered. `secrets verify` exits non-zero on any problem, so it can
gate CI or a future store migration.

## Architecture
Single bash script (`secrets`) with subcommands: init, push, pull, list, rm, rekey.
Single bash script (`secrets`) with subcommands: init, push, pull, list, rm, rekey, verify.
- Encryption: `age` with key files (not passphrases — age passphrases are non-scriptable)
- Storage: Private git repo at `~/.secrets/`
- Convention: Tracks `.env`, `.env.*`, and `.dev.vars` (not `.envrc`, `.environment-*`)
- Manifest (EGB-677 stage 1): committed `.secrets.json` is the source of truth for what syncs — `dotenv[]` (project-relative, nested ok, `@` allowed; rail rejects `..`/absolute/symlink) + `external[]` (`properties`/`file`). Push discovery auto-adds (gated by committed `options.autoAdd`, default ON; `--frozen`/`--dry-run` overrides), bootstraps the manifest on first push (written only after ≥1 blob encrypts), and absorbs a legacy `.secrets-files` (gradle-properties → `properties`; on pull the legacy file is superseded with a warning). v1 store layout unchanged in stage 1: nested entries land at `<project>/<relpath>.age`; `properties` blobs keep the legacy `.gradle-properties.age` suffix until the stage-2 store migration. jq is a hard dep only when a manifest exists/is written; manifest-less projects run jq-free (manifest features skipped with a notice). `check_cmd` prints platform-aware install hints.
- Verify (EGB-698): `secrets verify` is a read-only integrity check. Default mode (current project) cross-checks `$PWD/.secrets.json` against `$SECRETS_DIR/<project>/` both ways (declared-but-missing blobs + orphaned blobs) and decrypt-tests every blob (dotenv + external) by streaming plaintext to `/dev/null` (never written to disk). `secrets verify --all` decrypt-tests every blob in every project (integrity only — the store carries no manifests, so consistency can't be checked store-wide). Both recurse the whole project tree (`find -type f`, same as rekey/list). Exits non-zero on any finding so it can gate the stage-2 `migrate --finalize` and CI. The store deliberately holds no manifest — `.secrets.json` is committed in each project's own repo and read from `$PWD`.
- External files: `.secrets-files` manifest tracks designated keys from files outside the project (e.g. `~/.gradle/gradle.properties`, merged not overwritten — EGB-531) and whole binary files (type `file`, e.g. an Android upload keystore — EGB-652); see below
- Workspaces: `--workspaces` flag reads `package.json` workspaces, requires `jq`
- Safety: Pre-commit hook rejects plaintext secret files (`.env`, `.dev.vars`, `gradle.properties`)

**"'jq' is not installed"** — Manifest features need `jq`. The error prints the install command for your platform. Manifest-less projects work without it.
**Not sure the store is intact?** — Run `secrets verify` in a project to check its `.secrets.json` against the store (declared-but-missing blobs and orphaned blobs) and decrypt-test every blob with your current key. Use `secrets verify --all` for a store-wide decrypt sweep across every project. It's read-only — plaintext is streamed to `/dev/null`, never written to disk — and exits non-zero if anything is wrong, so it's safe to run in CI.
