Description
I would be curious to store the data in the wallet as plain text.
Reading the documentation I came across:
none indicates that no store key is used. This key type should
be used only for testing and inspecting profile contents without encryption.
By modifying the AcaPy code I was able to choose none as the store key type. Looking into the table config I can also see that key is none. Unfortunately, the data in items and items_tags still seems to be encrypted or at least are not shown in plain text.
Am I missing something? Does it only affect the encryption of the profile keys but not the encryption of the profile content?

Research direction
Start with docs/storage.md and the reported AcaPy configuration using the none store key type. Trace how the config, items, and items_tags tables handle encryption, then document whether plaintext storage is expected for profile contents and what behavior would confirm the issue is resolved.
