Replace shell-based keychain implementation with keybase/go-keychain library

- Replaced exec.Command calls to /usr/bin/security with native keybase/go-keychain API
- Added comprehensive test suite for keychain operations
- Fixed binary data storage in tests using hex encoding
- Updated macse tests to skip with explanation about ADE requirements
- All tests passing with CGO_ENABLED=1

 addressed before the 1.0 release of the secret manager. Items are
 prioritized from most critical (top) to least critical (bottom).
 
+## CRITICAL BLOCKERS FOR 1.0 RELEASE
+
+### Command Injection Vulnerabilities
+- [ ] **1. PGP command injection risk**: `internal/secret/pgpunlocker.go:323-327` - GPG key IDs passed directly to exec.Command without proper escaping
+- [ ] **2. Keychain command injection risk**: `internal/secret/keychainunlocker.go:472-476` - data.String() passed to security command without escaping
+
+### Memory Security Critical Issues
+- [ ] **3. Plain text passphrase in memory**: `internal/secret/keychainunlocker.go:342,393-396` - KeychainData struct stores AgePrivKeyPassphrase as unprotected string
+- [ ] **4. Sensitive string conversions**: `internal/secret/keychainunlocker.go:356`, `internal/secret/pgpunlocker.go:256`, `internal/secret/version.go:155` - Age identity .String() creates unprotected copies
+
+### Race Conditions (Data Corruption Risk)
+- [ ] **5. No file locking mechanism**: `internal/vault/secrets.go:142-176` - Multiple concurrent operations can corrupt vault state
+- [ ] **6. Non-atomic file operations**: Various locations - Interrupted writes leave vault inconsistent
+
+### Input Validation Vulnerabilities
+- [ ] **7. Path traversal risk**: `internal/vault/secrets.go:75-99` - Secret names allow dots which could enable traversal attacks with encoding
+- [ ] **8. Missing size limits**: `internal/vault/secrets.go:102` - No maximum secret size allows DoS via memory exhaustion
+
+### Timing Attack Vulnerabilities
+- [ ] **9. Non-constant-time passphrase comparison**: `internal/cli/init.go:209-216` - bytes.Equal() vulnerable to timing attacks
+- [ ] **10. Non-constant-time key validation**: `internal/vault/vault.go:95-100` - Public key comparison leaks timing information
