[doc] where and how are secret variables stored? #934

Hi, when I have a secret variable, I understand it's not written to the environment or collection files, but where is it stored exactly, and how?

I think documenting this part will bring additional transparency and aligns nicely with what ppl are looking for when choosing Bruno.

I can prepare a PR, but someone would need to explain it here or point me towards related source files.

On a windows machine the secrets are stored under \Users[xxxx]\AppData\Roaming\bruno\secrets.json It's the location for electron stores.

The code which handles the secrets is: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/main/packages/bruno-electron/src/store/env-secrets.js
