Bump version to 1.2.0 and update tests

Update package.json version to 1.2.0 and adjust tests to explicitly click the 'Cancel request' button. This adds an extra fireEvent.click for the 'Cancel request' role in RequestActionsDropdown.test.tsx and RequestCard.test.tsx to ensure the cancel handler is invoked reliably. Files changed: package.json, package-lock.json, tests/app/admin/components/RequestActionsDropdown.test.tsx, tests/components/requests/RequestCard.test.tsx.

+# Credential Recovery Script
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | Interactive recovery for lost `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` or forgotten local admin password
+
+## Overview
+Recovers from the "Invalid username or password" failure mode caused by a lost or rotated `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`. Detects whether the key still works; either does a minimal password reset (preserves everything) or full recovery (rotates key + clears credentials that can no longer be decrypted).
+
+## When to Use
+- Local admin gets "Invalid username or password" with credentials known to be correct
+- `/app/config/.secrets` was lost, truncated, or recreated
+- After an unintended `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` change
+- See GitHub issue #200 for the symptom pattern
+
+## How to Run
+```
+docker exec -it <container-name> npm run rmab:recover
+```
+- `-it` is required for the interactive prompts
+- Or directly: `docker exec -it <container-name> node /app/scripts/recover-credentials.js`
+
+## What It Does
+1. Loads `DATABASE_URL` and `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from env (falls back to `/etc/environment`)
+2. Diagnoses key health by attempting to decrypt an existing encrypted Configuration row
+3. Lists local users (`authProvider='local'`, not soft-deleted); prompts for one
+4. Prompts for new password twice (masked); validates length unless `ALLOW_WEAK_PASSWORD=true`
+5. Prints the exact plan (mode + what will be cleared); requires typing `confirm` verbatim
+6. Executes inside a single Prisma `$transaction`
+7. If key was rotated: writes new key to `/app/config/.secrets` and `/etc/environment`
+
+## Two Modes (auto-detected)
+
+**Simple Password Reset (key works):**
+- Only updates the chosen user's `authToken` (new bcrypt, re-encrypted)
+- No other data touched
+- No container restart needed
+
+**Full Recovery (key broken):**
+- Generates new `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (32 random bytes, base64)
+- For each `Configuration` row with `encrypted=true`: re-encrypts with new key if old decrypt succeeds, deletes the row if not
+- For `download_clients` JSON: re-encrypts each client password if possible, blanks it if not (URL/host/etc. preserved)
+- For all `User.authToken` values: re-encrypts if possible, clears if not (Plex/OIDC users re-OAuth on next login)
+- Overwrites target user's `authToken` with fresh bcrypt encrypted with new key
+- Writes new key to `.secrets` + `/etc/environment`
+- **Container restart required after this mode**
+
+## What Survives (Full Recovery Mode)
+- All requests + request history
+- Library mappings, organization templates, schedules, user accounts
+- Non-encrypted Configuration rows (paths, log level, backend mode, etc.)
+- Plex/OIDC users whose tokens decrypted successfully (no re-OAuth needed)
+
+## What User Re-enters After Full Recovery
+- Plex auth token (or re-OAuth via login)
+- Audiobookshelf API token (if used)
+- OIDC client secret (if used)
+- Prowlarr API key
+- Download client passwords (per client)
+- Any AI / Hardcover / Goodreads / notification provider secrets
+
+## Security
+- CLI only — no HTTP endpoint, no auto-run, no rescue-mode env flag
+- Requires `docker exec` access (= host root equivalent)
+- Refuses to accept any CLI arguments — all input via interactive prompts
+- Does not echo or log password or key values
+- Operation summary written to stdout; full audit info to app logger
+- Idempotent within a single mode (re-runs are safe)
+
+## Failure Modes
+- DB transaction fails → no changes committed, safe to re-run
+- DB transaction commits but `.secrets`/`/etc/environment` write fails → script prints the new key in plaintext with instructions for manual write (one-time exposure in operator's terminal)
+
+## Related
+- `backend/services/auth.md` — local auth flow + the decrypt-then-compare path
+- `backend/services/config.md` — encryption format details
+- `deployment/unified.md` — entrypoint behavior and `.secrets` persistence
