-`-f secret.*` 会自动解锁 secrets，无需额外加 `--show-secrets`。
+`search` 只负责发现、定位和读取 metadata，不直接展示 secrets。
 
 ### 输出格式
 
 | 场景 | 推荐命令 |
 |------|----------|
 | AI 解析 / 管道处理 | `-o json` 或 `-o json-compact` |
-| 写入 `.env` 文件 | `-o env --show-secrets` |
+| 写入 metadata `.env` 文件 | `-o env` |
+| 注入 secrets 到环境变量 | `inject` / `run` |
 | 人类查看 | 默认 `text`（TTY 下自动启用） |
 | 非 TTY（管道/重定向） | 自动 `json-compact` |
 
+说明：`text` 输出中的时间会按当前机器本地时区显示；`json/json-compact` 继续使用 UTC（RFC3339 风格）以便脚本和 AI 稳定解析。
