Summary

This PR adds support for encrypted SQLite offline storage to the Community Toolkit Datasync client, enabling applications to securely store sensitive data offline using SQLitePCLRaw 3's encryption capabilities.

Key Changes

New Library: CommunityToolkit.Datasync.Client.EncryptedSqlite

  • EncryptedSqliteDbContextOptionsExtensions: Extension method to configure DbContext with encrypted SQLite storage, accepting a password/key provider
  • EncryptedSqliteOptions: Configuration class for encrypted SQLite settings including key derivation parameters
  • EncryptedSqliteFactory: Factory for creating encrypted SQLite connections with proper encryption setup
  • SqliteBatteries: Helper to initialize SQLitePCLRaw with the encrypted SQLite bundle
  • SqliteLiteral: Utility for SQLite literal values

Test Suite: CommunityToolkit.Datasync.Client.EncryptedSqlite.Test

  • Comprehensive tests for encrypted SQLite functionality
  • Test helpers and models for validation
  • Tests for OfflineDbContext integration with encryption

Sample Application: TodoApp.MAUI.Encrypted

  • Complete MAUI sample application demonstrating encrypted offline storage
  • EncryptionKeyProvider: Service for managing encryption keys securely
  • AppDbContext: Entity Framework Core context configured with encrypted SQLite
  • Full UI implementation with styles, resources, and platform-specific configurations (Android, iOS, Windows)
  • Demonstrates proper initialization and usage of encrypted storage in a real application

Documentation

  • docs/in-depth/client/encryption.md: Comprehensive guide covering:
    • Background on SQLitePCLRaw 3 and encryption
    • Setup and configuration instructions
    • Key management best practices
    • Migration guidance from unencrypted to encrypted stores
  • docs/samples/todoapp/maui-encrypted.md: Sample-specific documentation

Infrastructure Updates

  • Updated solution files to include new projects
  • Added GitHub Actions workflow for publishing encrypted SQLite packages
  • Updated package signing configuration
  • Updated documentation navigation

Notable Implementation Details

  • Uses SQLitePCLRaw 3's native encryption support via the bundle_e_sqlite3 bundle
  • Implements PBKDF2 key derivation for password-based encryption
  • Provides extensible key provider pattern for custom key management strategies
  • Fully integrated with Entity Framework Core's DbContext configuration
  • Maintains compatibility with existing offline storage patterns

Introduces CommunityToolkit.Datasync.Client.EncryptedSqlite, an additional
package that provides an encrypted offline SQLite store backed by SQLite3
Multiple Ciphers (SQLCipher-compatible). The encryption key is generated on
first run and supplied via EncryptedSqliteOptions.

- EncryptedSqliteDbContextOptionsExtensions / EncryptedSqliteFactory wire the
  encrypted connection into an offline DbContext.
- Correct rekey handling with WAL journaling and a SQLCipher-compatible reopen.
- TodoApp.MAUI.Encrypted sample demonstrates the encrypted offline store with a
  key generated on first run.
- Test project covering the encrypted store and offline DbContext behaviour.

The encrypted SQLite store was rejected upstream, so it ships from this fork
under our own IDs. Set PackageId to Hisui.Datasync.Client / .EncryptedSqlite
(assembly names/namespaces stay CommunityToolkit.Datasync.* so consumer `using`
statements are unchanged), add fork metadata + Version 10.0.1, and point the
sample's migration comment at the Hisui IDs. The publish workflow already builds
via `dotnet build` (GeneratePackageOnBuild) to avoid NU5026.

…6965)

EF Core 10.0.9 pulls SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_e_sqlite3 2.1.11 transitively into
the test/support projects, whose native lib (SQLitePCLRaw.lib.e_sqlite3 <= 2.1.11)
is vulnerable to CVE-2025-6965 / GHSA-2m69-gcr7-jv3q (high). The 2.1.x line has no
patched release; the 3.0.x bundle replaces lib.e_sqlite3 with SourceGear.sqlite3
(SQLite >= 3.50.4), dropping the vulnerable package from the graph.

Pin only the bundle (not SQLitePCLRaw.core) via CentralPackageTransitivePinning so
the SQLite3MC encrypted-store graph keeps its own 2.x core. Verified: vuln scan
clean across all projects; solution builds 0/0; SQLite runtime tests pass
(EFCore 32, Client offline 64, EncryptedSqlite 7).
