1//! Pattern + Unicode anomaly scanner used by [`crate::paste::detect`].
2//!
3//! ## Two-arm scan
4//!
5//! [`scan`] runs both arms unconditionally and concatenates the results:
6//!
7//! 1. **Aho-Corasick** multi-pattern match over [`crate::paste::patterns`]
8//!    (case-insensitive). Compiled once into a `OnceLock`-cached automaton.
9//! 2. **Unicode anomaly scan** — flags RTL override / LTR override / bidi
10//!    isolate / zero-width joiner / zero-width space / zero-width
11//!    non-joiner code points by name, then catches any remaining
12//!    [`GeneralCategory::Format`] code point as `u_format_char`.

39/// Scan decoded text and return all pattern + Unicode anomaly matches.
40///
41/// `decoded` is expected to already be the output of

43/// raw input still works but will miss base64-wrapped payloads.
44///

46/// anomaly). The caller ([`crate::paste::detect`]) maps the length of this
47/// vector to a [`crate::paste::Verdict`] via fixed thresholds.
