Release v0.14.2 — Secret Service keychain on Linux (Flatpak-ready, survives reboots)

Linux key storage moves from the kernel keyring (linux-keyutils) to the
system secret service (gnome-keyring/KWallet, via dbus-secret-service). The
kernel keyring does not persist across Flatpak launches or reliably across
reboots; the secret service persists to disk and works in the sandbox via
--talk-name=org.freedesktop.secrets. Verified in the Flatpak build: log in,
full quit, relaunch, still signed in. Linux users re-enter their key once
(entry moves backends). macOS/Windows unchanged.

Also pins the Flathub manifest git-source to the v0.14.2 tag.

+## v0.14.2 — Reliable key storage on Linux (2026-07-18)
+
+### Changed
+- **Linux key storage now uses the system secret service** (gnome-keyring / KWallet) instead of the kernel keyring. Your secret key now survives reboots reliably, and — importantly — persists inside sandboxed installs (Flatpak), which the kernel keyring could not. macOS and Windows are unchanged.
+
+### Migration
+- **Linux users re-enter their key once** after this update. The previous kernel-keyring entry isn't readable by the new backend, so on first launch you'll sign in again; after that it persists as normal.
+- Requires a running secret-service provider (gnome-keyring or KWallet — standard on GNOME/KDE and most desktops).
