Description

What problem will this feature address?

Currently, environment variables for compose and application resources are stored and displayed in plain text. This poses a significant security risk for secrets such as DB passwords, API keys, etc. Users need an option to encrypt environment variables

Describe the solution you'd like

1.Add a "Secure Mode" toggle UI for environments on compose/application screens.
2.Encrypt only for UI display; never store encrypted envs in DB.
3.When envs are updated/saved, all values are decrypted before sending to backend.

Research direction

Start by locating the compose and application resource screens and their environment update/save flow. The completed work should provide a Secure Mode toggle, encrypt values only for UI display, decrypt all values before backend submission, and ensure encrypted values are not stored in the database.
