//! Truncated value fingerprint (spec §10.4).
//!
//! A short hash of a **literal** secret value, so an operator can verify "did I
//! update to the right value?" without revealing it. Deliberately **truncated**
//! (leading bytes of BLAKE3) so it cannot ease brute-forcing the value, and so
//! it is safe to store in the index and surface in `list`/`doctor` output
//! (I12). It is never the full hash.
//!
//! References carry no value, so they have no fingerprint.

/// Number of leading BLAKE3 bytes kept in a fingerprint. Truncated on purpose
/// (§10.4): enough to detect a change, too short to brute-force the value.
pub const FINGERPRINT_BYTES: usize = 4;

/// Truncated, lowercase-hex BLAKE3 fingerprint of a literal value.
///
/// Deterministic and stable across runs (no salt, no nonce) — re-fingerprinting
/// the same bytes always yields the same string, which is what makes "did the
/// value change?" answerable without the value. The output is
/// `FINGERPRINT_BYTES * 2` hex characters.
