Description

sops -e -i file1.yaml file2.yaml encrypts both files
sops -d -i file1.yaml file2.yaml only decrypts the first file

  1. should it accept multiple files for both operations?
  2. could the decrypt operation only use a single gpg "session" so that one doesn't have to confirm (if using yubikey) every single file decryption?

Thanks.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the CLI entry points for encrypt and decrypt, then trace how positional file arguments and GPG sessions are handled; done means both operations consistently process multiple files and decryption does not require repeated YubiKey confirmation where the design permits.
