Subject: [PATCH 01/26] feat: add import secrets from another project in
 SecretsModal

- Add 'Import from...' dropdown in the secrets modal that lists other projects
- Fetch and merge secrets from selected source project
- Skip existing keys (by uppercase comparison) to avoid overwriting
- Add UI test to verify import behavior and key preservation

Subject: [PATCH 02/26] fix: use functional state update in
 handleImportFromProject

Address Codex review comment: use setSecrets((current) => ...) to avoid
race conditions when user edits secrets while import is in-flight.

Also improve test consistency:
- Use setupTestDom() helper
- Keep import './dom' for Radix bootstrap side effects

 SecretsModal story

- Move 'Import from...' dropdown above the secrets list for better visibility
- Add SecretsModalWithImport story to capture the feature visually

Subject: [PATCH 04/26] fix: disable Save button while import is in flight

Address Codex review: prevent race where user clicks Save before import
completes, which would close modal without persisting imported secrets.

- Create new ProjectSecretsSection component for inline secrets editing
- Integrate secrets UI into ProjectSettingsSection with proper heading
- Remove standalone SecretsModal component
- Update ProjectSidebar key icon to open Settings → Projects (via openProjectSettings)
- Tooltip changed from 'Manage secrets' to 'Project settings'
- Update story: SecretsModalWithImport → ProjectSettingsWithSecrets
- Update UI test to work with Settings modal flow

The secrets UI now lives in Settings → Projects, keeping all project-level
configuration in one place. Import from other projects still works the same way.
