### Parent seed backup migration
If your vault contains a `parent_seed.enc` file that was encrypted with Fernet,
SeedPass performs a similar upgrade. Upon loading the vault, the application
decrypts the old file, reencrypts it with AESGCM, and writes the result back to
`parent_seed.enc`. The legacy Fernet file is preserved as
`parent_seed.enc.fernet` so you can revert if needed. No manual steps are
required simply unlock your vault and the conversion runs automatically.
