Proposal: SQLCipher-backed encrypted profile for desktop local database protection

[laurent]

I have implemented a working prototype for desktop-side local profile protection and would like to ask whether this direction is acceptable before opening any pull request.

Probably not. This is a massive pull request that would require a long term commitment from you to maintain it, and as you are new here we can't know if you're ready to do this.

Pull requests from new contributors are temporarily paused

Due to limited review and maintenance capacity, we are currently only accepting pull requests from long-term contributors who are already familiar with the codebase, development process, and project goals. As a result, pull requests from new contributors will be closed without review. We appreciate everyone who takes the time to improve the project and hope to revisit this policy in the future if circumstances change. Thank you for your understanding and for your interest in the project.
