Once this plugin reaches a usable state, restic-PyBM should natively be able to use it to record new repositories and request on-the-fly secrets for existing ones.

I created a library that might complement your script:

https://github.com/mtlynch/resticpy

It's a thin wrapper over the restic binary, so it handles all the interactions with restic so that you never have to call subprocess.run

Here's a rough version of how it looks porting this repo to resticpy:

https://github.com/sephiroth1395/restic-PyBM/compare/main...mtlynch:resticpy?expand=1

It's not an exact match for your current functionality because resticpy returns results as dictionaries (using the --json flag to restic) but restic-PyBM is designed around plaintext stdout results.

If you're interested in switching over, I'd be happy to help.

Especially on output messages generation. So much copy paste, it's horrendous.

This is particularly needed for the check action, especially when running from a centralised monitoring server.

To avoid locking up a repo if an invocation is stopped mid-course for whatever reason.

Implement capabilities to duplicate a repository A to repository B.
This needs to be thought through, since as the restic documentation points out, chunking may be an issue.
