This release enhances security and operational flexibility by introducing a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode for regulated deployments. Identity management is improved with new metadata tagging capabilities, and Key Management Service (KMS) features are now available across all license tiers.

### New Features

*   Introduced metadata tags for identities to improve organization and simplify auditing. Tags can be used to associate identities with specific services or applications. (#123)

### Improvements

*   Expanded Key Management Service (KMS) availability to all valid license types, removing previous subscription tier restrictions. (#124)

### Security Updates

*   Enabled a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode for deployment in regulated environments, exclusively using validated cryptographic algorithms. (#125)
    *   **Note:** FIPS mode requires a specific build and configuration updates. Auto-generated TLS keys are disabled, ECDSA-based API keys are mandatory, and `ChaCha20` secret keys are no longer supported.
