Subject: [PATCH] fix: SECURITY: SOPS decryption without integrity verification
 (#61)

- Add sops --verify to validate GCM ciphertext tag before decryption
- Treat all decryption failures as fatal errors (exit 1) instead of warnings
- Added integrity check comment for clarity
- Ensures tampered .env.enc files are rejected before use
