Upstream replacement: subconscious-systems#10

This PR was created in the fork in error. The fix and its issue are now submitted to upstream.

Changing an encryption password uses local?.privateKey ?? pair.privateKey, so a locked machine or one with no local key silently starts remembering the plaintext private key. A different cached key can also be retained under the new public key.

Preserve the locked or remembered state, and retain only the matching verified key. Tests cover no local key, locked, remembered, and mismatched cached keys and verify decryption using the new password.

Validation: frozen-lockfile dependencies, typecheck, full tests, npm bundle build, and bundled CLI version/help smoke tests. The Ubuntu/Windows Node 20/22 branch CI must pass before this PR is created.

This PR is based on the CI foundation branch so its diff contains only this bug fix; merge the CI foundation PR first.

Closes #6.

All branch CI checks passed on cb53fa1: https://github.com/dipeshbabu/vibi-cli/actions/runs/37263012167
