• Expose all functionalities via:
  • Fast API Swagger .

3. Enhanced Import Functionality

• Allow importing multiple files (YAML/JSON) in one operation.
• Support importing an entire directory of files.

4. Improved Export Functionality

• Display all available secrets in a selectable list.
• Export selected secrets into separate files with a naming convention (default: YAML).

5. Comprehensive Documentation

• Clear explanation of:
  • New endpoints and their usage.
  • Interaction examples using Swagger UI and API clients.
• Setup and run instructions for the Docker container.
