Subject: [PATCH 1/6] Fix SSH key upload and credential editing issues
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixed two major credential management issues:

1. Fix SSH key upload button not responding (Issue #232)
   - Error handling was silently swallowing exceptions
   - Added proper error propagation in axios functions
   - Improved error display to show specific error messages
   - Users now see actual error details instead of generic messages

2. Improve credential editing to show actual content
   - Both "Upload File" and "Paste Key" modes now display existing data
   - Upload mode: shows current key content in read-only preview area
   - Paste mode: shows editable key content in textarea
   - Smart input method switching preserves existing data
   - Enhanced button labels and status indicators

Key changes:
- Fixed handleApiError propagation in main-axios.ts credential functions
- Enhanced CredentialEditor.tsx with key content preview
- Improved error handling with console logging for debugging
- Better UX with clear status indicators and preserved data

These fixes resolve the "Add Credential button does nothing" issue
and provide full visibility of credential content during editing.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Add comprehensive SSH key management and validation
 features
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add support for both private and public key storage
- Implement automatic SSH key type detection for all major formats (RSA, Ed25519, ECDSA, DSA)
- Add real-time key pair validation to verify private/public key correspondence
- Enhance credential editor UI with unified key input interface supporting upload/paste
- Improve file format support including extensionless files (id_rsa, id_ed25519, etc.)
- Add comprehensive fallback detection for OpenSSH format keys
- Implement debounced API calls for better UX during real-time validation
- Update database schema with backward compatibility for existing credentials
- Add API endpoints for key detection and pair validation
- Fix SSH2 module integration issues in TypeScript environment

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Optimize credentials interface and add i18n improvements

- Merge upload/paste tabs into unified SSH key input interface
- Remove manual key type selection dropdown (rely on auto-detection)
- Add public key generation from private key functionality
- Complete key pair validation removal to fix errors
- Add missing translation keys for better internationalization
- Improve UX with streamlined credential editing workflow

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Implement direct SSH key generation with ssh2 native API
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Replace complex PEM-to-SSH conversion logic with ssh2's generateKeyPairSync
- Add three key generation buttons: Ed25519, ECDSA P-256, and RSA
- Generate keys directly in SSH format (ssh-ed25519, ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ssh-rsa)
- Fix ECDSA parameter bug: use bits (256) instead of curve for ssh2 API
- Enhance generate-public-key endpoint with SSH format conversion
- Add comprehensive key type detection and parsing fallbacks
- Add internationalization support for key generation UI
- Simplify codebase from 300+ lines to ~80 lines of clean SSH generation

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] Add passphrase support for SSH key generation

- Add optional passphrase input field in key generation container
- Implement AES-128-CBC encryption for protected private keys
- Auto-fill key password field when passphrase is provided
- Support passphrase protection for all key types (Ed25519, ECDSA, RSA)
- Enhance user experience with automatic form field population
