This pull request refactors the interaction with the FreeDesktop Secret Service to improve reliability and user experience, especially when handling locked items and user prompts. The changes simplify secret management by searching for items across all collections, handling locked items more gracefully, and prompting the user only when required. Error handling and logging are also improved for better diagnostics.

Secret Service Proxy improvements:

• The UnlockAsync method now returns a bool to indicate if the unlock was successful or dismissed by the user, and a new PromptAsync helper method was added to handle user prompts via D-Bus signals. [1] [2]
• The SearchItemsAsync method now searches across all collections, returning separate arrays for unlocked and locked items, and improves error handling for locked items. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Secret management workflow updates:

• The DeleteAsync, GetAsync, and UpdateAsync methods in SecretService.cs have been updated to use the new search and unlock logic, ensuring the correct item is targeted and prompting the user only when necessary. Logging and error handling are improved for cases where secrets are not found or unlocks are dismissed. [1] [2] [3]

@copilot Can we make sure the user gets prompted to unlock instead of returning null? Will this unlock flow work on flatpak as well? Where the secrets should get unlocked by the portal...

Done in commit 570e0f3. UnlockAsync now reads the prompt path returned by the D-Bus Unlock call and, when a prompt is needed (path ≠ "/"), invokes the new PromptAsync helper which:

1. Subscribes to the org.freedesktop.Secret.Prompt.Completed signal on the prompt object
2. Calls Prompt("") to show the unlock dialog to the user
3. Awaits the Completed signal — returning true if the user confirmed, false if they dismissed

This is the standard org.freedesktop.Secret.Prompt D-Bus interface, which is implemented by both the native libsecret daemon and the xdg-desktop-portal secrets portal, so it works correctly on Flatpak as well.
