//! Unicode-escape decode-through: resolve `\uXXXX` and `\xXX` escapes (plus
//! single-character backslash escapes) before pattern matching.
//!
//! Secrets are frequently embedded as JSON/JS/source-string literals where the
//! interesting bytes hide behind `\u00..`/`\x..` escapes. Decoding them lets the
//! scanner match the literal credential. Shares the `\uXXXX` hex reader with the
//! JSON and URL decoders via [`super::util::take_hex_digits`].

use super::util::take_hex_digits;

/// Decode backslash escapes (`\uXXXX`, `\xXX`, and `\<char>`) in `input`.
///
/// Returns `Err(())` on a truncated/invalid escape so the caller can skip the
/// candidate rather than emit a corrupted decode.
