refactor: entries + secrets 双表，search 展示 field schema，key_ref PEM 共享

- secrets 表拆为 entries（主表）+ secrets（每字段一行） - search 无需 master_key 即可展示 secrets 字段名、类型、长度 - inject/run 支持 metadata.key_ref 引用 kind=key 记录，PEM 轮换 O(1) - entries_history + secrets_history 字段级历史，rollback 按 version 恢复 - 移除迁移用 DROP 语句，migrate 幂等 - v0.8.0 Made-with: Cursor
feat: remove -o env from search command

 # Secrets CLI — AGENTS.md

-跨设备密钥与配置管理 CLI 工具，将 refining / ricnsmart 两个项目的服务器信息、服务凭据存储到 PostgreSQL 18，供 AI 工具读取上下文。敏感数据（encrypted 字段）使用 AES-256-GCM 加密，主密钥由 Argon2id 从主密码派生并存入平台安全存储（macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager / Linux keyutils）。
+## 提交 / 发版硬规则（优先于下文其他说明）
+
+1. 涉及 `src/**`、`Cargo.toml`、`Cargo.lock`、CLI 行为变更的提交，默认视为**需要发版**，除非用户明确说明“本次不发版”。
+2. 发版前必须先检查 `Cargo.toml` 中的 `version`，再检查是否已存在对应 tag：`git tag -l 'secrets-*'`。
+3. 若当前版本对应 tag 已存在，必须先 bump `Cargo.toml` 的 `version`，再执行 `cargo build` 同步 `Cargo.lock`，然后才能提交。
+4. 提交前优先运行 `./scripts/release-check.sh`；该脚本会检查重复版本并执行 `cargo fmt -- --check && cargo clippy --locked -- -D warnings && cargo test --locked`。

 ### 字段职责划分

 | `namespace` | 项目/团队隔离 | `refining`, `ricnsmart` |
-| `kind` | 记录类型 | `server`, `service` |
+| `kind` | 记录类型 | `server`, `service`, `key` |
 | `name` | 唯一标识名 | `i-uf63f2uookgs5uxmrdyc`, `gitea` |
 | `tags` | 多维分类标签 | `["aliyun","hongkong","ricn"]` |
-| `metadata` | 明文非敏感信息 | `{"ip":"47.243.154.187","desc":"Grafana","domains":["..."]}` |
-| `encrypted` | 敏感凭据，AES-256-GCM 加密存储 | 二进制密文，解密后为 `{"ssh_key":"...","password":"..."}` |
+| `metadata` | 明文非敏感信息 | `{"ip":"47.243.154.187","desc":"Grafana","key_ref":"ricn-hk-260127"}` |
+| `secrets.field_name` | 加密字段名（明文） | `"username"`, `"token"`, `"ssh_key"` |
+| `secrets.field_type` | 值类型（明文） | `"string"`, `"number"`, `"boolean"`, `"json"` |
+| `secrets.value_len` | 原始值字符数（明文） | `4`（root），`40`（token），`4096`（PEM） |
+| `secrets.encrypted` | 仅加密值本身 | AES-256-GCM 密文 |
+
+### PEM 共享机制（key_ref）
+
+同一 PEM 被多台服务器共享时，将 PEM 存为独立的 `kind=key` 记录，服务器通过 `metadata.key_ref` 引用：
+
+```bash
+# 1. 存共享 PEM
+secrets add -n refining --kind key --name ricn-hk-260127 \
+  --tag aliyun --tag hongkong \
+  -s content=@./keys/ricn-hk-260127.pem
+
+# 2. 服务器通过 metadata.key_ref 引用（inject/run 时自动合并 key 的 secrets）
+secrets add -n refining --kind server --name i-j6c39dmtkr26vztii0ox \
+  -m ip=47.243.154.187 -m key_ref=ricn-hk-260127 \
+  -s username=ecs-user
+
+# 3. 轮换只需更新 key 记录，所有引用服务器自动生效
+secrets update -n refining --kind key --name ricn-hk-260127 \
+  -s content=@./keys/new-key.pem

+主表 `entries`（namespace、kind、name、tags、metadata）+ 子表 `secrets`（每个加密字段一行，含 field_name、field_type、value_len、encrypted）。首次连接自动建表；同时创建 `audit_log`、`entries_history`、`secrets_history` 等表。

-| 字段 | 说明 |
-|------|------|
-| `namespace` | 一级隔离，如 `refining`、`ricnsmart` |
-| `kind` | 记录类型，如 `server`、`service`（可自由扩展） |
-| `name` | 人类可读唯一标识 |
-| `tags` | 多维标签，如 `["aliyun","hongkong"]` |
-| `metadata` | 明文描述信息（ip、desc、domains 等） |
-| `encrypted` | 敏感凭据（ssh_key、password、token 等），AES-256-GCM 加密存储 |
+| 位置 | 字段 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| entries | namespace | 一级隔离，如 `refining`、`ricnsmart` |
+| entries | kind | 记录类型，如 `server`、`service`、`key`（可自由扩展） |
+| entries | name | 人类可读唯一标识 |
+| entries | tags | 多维标签，如 `["aliyun","hongkong"]` |
+| entries | metadata | 明文描述（ip、desc、domains、key_ref 等） |
+| secrets | field_name / field_type / value_len | 明文，search 可见，AI 可推断 inject 会生成什么变量 |
+| secrets | encrypted | 仅加密值本身，AES-256-GCM |

-`-m` / `--meta` 写入 `metadata`，`-s` / `--secret` 写入 `encrypted`，`value=@file` 从文件读取内容。加解密使用主密钥（由 `secrets init` 设置）。
+`-m` / `--meta` 写入 `metadata`，`-s` / `--secret` 写入 `secrets` 表的独立行。支持 `key=value`、`key=@file`、`key:=<json>`，也支持 `credentials:content@./key.pem` 这类嵌套字段文件写入；删除时支持 `--remove-secret credentials:content`。加解密使用主密钥（由 `secrets init` 设置）。
+
+**PEM 共享**：同一 PEM 被多台服务器共享时，可存为 `kind=key` 记录，服务器通过 `metadata.key_ref` 引用；轮换只需 update 一条 key 记录，所有引用自动生效。详见 [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)。
+
+### `-m` / `--meta` JSON 语法速查
+
+`-m` 和 `-s` 走的是同一套解析规则，只是写入位置不同：`-m` 写到明文 `metadata`，适合端口、开关、标签、描述性配置等非敏感信息。
+
+| 目标值 | 写法示例 | 实际存入 |
+|------|------|------|
+| 普通字符串 | `-m url=https://gitea.refining.dev` | `"https://gitea.refining.dev"` |
+| 文件内容字符串 | `-m notes=@./service-notes.txt` | `"..."` |
+| 布尔值 | `-m enabled:=true` | `true` |
+| 数字 | `-m port:=3000` | `3000` |
+| `null` | `-m deprecated_at:=null` | `null` |
+| 数组 | `-m domains:='["gitea.refining.dev","git.refining.dev"]'` | `["gitea.refining.dev","git.refining.dev"]` |
+| 对象 | `-m tls:='{"enabled":true,"redirect_http":true}'` | `{"enabled":true,"redirect_http":true}` |
+| 嵌套路径 + JSON | `-m deploy:strategy:='{"type":"rolling","batch":2}'` | `{"deploy":{"strategy":{"type":"rolling","batch":2}}}` |
+
+常见规则：
+
+- `=` 表示按字符串存储。
+- `:=` 表示按 JSON 解析。
+- shell 中数组和对象建议整体用单引号包住。
+- 嵌套字段继续用冒号分隔：`-m runtime:max_open_conns:=20`。
+
+示例：新增一条带 typed metadata 的记录
+
+```bash
+secrets add -n refining --kind service --name gitea \
+  -m url=https://gitea.refining.dev \
+  -m port:=3000 \
+  -m enabled:=true \
+  -m domains:='["gitea.refining.dev","git.refining.dev"]' \
+  -m tls:='{"enabled":true,"redirect_http":true}'
+```
+
+示例：更新已有记录中的嵌套 metadata
+
+```bash
+secrets update -n refining --kind service --name gitea \
+  -m deploy:strategy:='{"type":"rolling","batch":2}' \
+  -m runtime:max_open_conns:=20
+```
+
+### `-s` / `--secret` JSON 语法速查
+
+当你希望写入的不是普通字符串，而是 `true`、`123`、`null`、数组或对象时，用 `:=`，右侧按 JSON 解析。
+
+| 目标值 | 写法示例 | 实际存入 |
+|------|------|------|
+| 普通字符串 | `-s token=abc123` | `"abc123"` |
+| 文件内容字符串 | `-s ssh_key=@./id_ed25519` | `"-----BEGIN ..."` |
+| 布尔值 | `-s enabled:=true` | `true` |
+| 数字 | `-s retry_count:=3` | `3` |
+| `null` | `-s deprecated_at:=null` | `null` |
+| 数组 | `-s scopes:='["repo","workflow"]'` | `["repo","workflow"]` |
+| 对象 | `-s extra:='{"region":"ap-east-1","verify_tls":true}'` | `{"region":"ap-east-1","verify_tls":true}` |
+| 嵌套路径 + JSON | `-s auth:policy:='{"mfa":true,"ttl":3600}'` | `{"auth":{"policy":{"mfa":true,"ttl":3600}}}` |
+
+常见规则：
+
+- `=` 表示按字符串存储，不做 JSON 解析。
+- `:=` 表示按 JSON 解析，适合布尔、数字、数组、对象、`null`。
+- shell 里对象和数组通常要整体加引号，推荐单引号：`-s flags:='["a","b"]'`。
+- 嵌套字段继续用冒号分隔：`-s credentials:enabled:=true`。
+- 如果你就是想存一个“JSON 字符串字面量”，可以写成 `-s note:='"hello"'`，但大多数字符串场景直接用 `=` 更直观。
+
+示例：新增一条同时包含字符串、文件、布尔、数组、对象的记录
+
+```bash

+  -s token=abc123 \
