Description

Since Vault allows for multiple secrets engines, it seems reasonable to expect that one might use multiple engines for the same project. For example, Vault supports database secrets engines that manage, well, database secrets, but many other properties will just be key-values. It would be nice to pass a list of secrets engines into the "backend" property rather than it just accepting a single secrets engine.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how the Vault backend property is parsed and how the current single secrets engine is selected. Review the existing Vault integration and define done as supporting a list of engines for one project while preserving current single-engine behavior.
