This PR addresses security and reliability issues around DB configuration and SQL usage.
Changes:
Move DB config to env variables via software/db_config.py (dotenv support).
Add .env.example for contributors.
Parameterize SQL queries in software/manage_data.py; eliminate string interpolation.
Ensure DB selection via DB_NAME; main and manage_data now CREATE/USE configured DB.
Align software/report.py with shared schema (tables user/finance) and use db_config.
Why:
Prevent hardcoded credentials and inconsistent schemas.
Eliminate SQL injection risks.
Make local setup reproducible and safer.
Testing:
Ran through login/insert/delete paths with a local MySQL; verified tables are created in DB_NAME and queries succeed.
Follow-ups:
Consider parameterizing remaining queries in software/main.py UI if any remain in other branches.
Optionally add unit tests for encrypt/decrypt and DB helpers.
