[Feature]: age / sops support for encrypted configuration

[mattgianni]

What feature or enhancement are you requesting?

To improve security and support Google API features consider using introducing age and sops for environment variable / credentials encryption.

The Google API requires a service account and an associated credentials JSON file to access resources like the Sheets and Drive API. Google active scans the Internet for these security credentials, and if found in plain-text, the credential keys are revoked, effectively disabling the associated service account.

age and sops would allow us to share sensitive keys through GitHub/Notion/email/etc. using encryption.

⚠️ Both age and sops are well supported on modern platforms, but they are not installed by default. They require installation and a small learning curve to use correctly. For example, developers would need to securely manage their own public/private key pairs.
