Description

Is there any interest in providing a kubeseal client library? I'm specifically after the Seal function. The use-case is for custom applications generated SealedSecrets.

Currently func seal is non-exported and lives directly in cmd/kubeseal.

e.g. pseudo code

package client

type Sealer interface {
    Seal(key, Secret) (SealedSecret, error)
}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Extract the non exported `seal` function from the kubeseal command package and refactor it into an exported function in a new client package. Study the current implementation in `cmd/kubeseal/main.go` and determine the dependencies (e.g., crypto, Kubernetes types). Create a Go module with a public `Seal` function that accepts a key and a Secret, returning a SealedSecret. Ensure backward compatibility by calling the new library from the original command.
