//! # sealwd
//!
//! `sealwd` provides small, focused primitives for handling secrets safely in Rust.
//!
//! The crate is specifically designed for server-side authentication and secret management systems.
//! It enforces a strict, type-level separation between user-provided passwords and system-generated
//! tokens, ensuring that the correct cryptographic algorithms are applied to each.
//!
//! ## Core Primitives
//!
//! - **[`Password`](password::Password)**: Represents a low-entropy user secret. Passwords are hashed using
//!   Argon2id, a slow and memory-hard algorithm designed to resist brute-force attacks.
//! - **[`Token`](token::Token)**: Represents a high-entropy, fixed-length stack-allocated generated secret
//!   (e.g., session IDs, API keys).
//! - **[`GenericToken`](token::GenericToken)**: A dynamically-sized, heap-allocated alternative to `Token`
//!   when lengths cannot be determined at compile time.
//! - **[`EncryptedToken`](token::EncryptedToken)**: A type-safe wrapper for token material that has been
//!   reversibly encrypted for storage using authenticated encryption (AEAD).
//!
//! ## Security Model
//!
//! 1. **Zeroization**: Raw secret materials ([`Password`](password::Password), [`Token`], and [`GenericToken`](token::GenericToken))
//!    automatically zero their memory when dropped, reducing the risk of sensitive data lingering in RAM.
//! 2. **Explicit Separation**: Using fast token hashing (BLAKE3) for low-entropy passwords is
//!    insecure and intentionally unsupported. The API enforces Argon2id for passwords.
//! 3. **Forward Compatibility**: Serialized hashes ([`PasswordHash`](password::PasswordHash), [`TokenHash`](token::TokenHash)) are
//!    self-describing, embedding an algorithm identifier to allow seamless future upgrades.
//!
//! ## Example: Password Lifecycle
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use sealwd::{Password, PasswordPolicy};
//! let policy = PasswordPolicy::with_sane_defaults();
//!
//! // Generate a password that passes the policy
//! let password = Password::random(&policy).unwrap();
//!
//! // Hash for storage (Argon2id)
//! let hash = password.to_default_hash().unwrap();
//!
//! // Verify
//! assert!(hash.verify(&password).is_ok());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Example: Token Lifecycle
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use sealwd::{Token, TokenMaterial};
//! // Generate a 32-byte token
//! let token = Token::<32>::random().unwrap();
//!
//! // Convert to Base64 to give to the user
//! let b64 = token.to_base64();
//!
//! // Hash with a server pepper for database storage (BLAKE3)
//! let pepper = b"server-side-secret-pepper";
//! let stored_hash = token.to_default_hash(pepper);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Feature Flags
//!
//! - `encryption`: Enables the [`crypto`] module, providing authenticated encryption (AEAD)
//!   primitives for secrets that must be stored reversibly, alongside [`EncryptedToken`](token::EncryptedToken).
//! - `serde`: Implements `Serialize` and `Deserialize` for the crate's types.
//! - `sqlx`: Implements database encoding/decoding, mapping hash and encrypted types
//!   transparently to database binary columns (e.g., `BYTEA` in PostgreSQL).
//!
//! ## Non-goals
//!
//! This crate does **not** attempt to be a general-purpose key derivation framework,
//! a secret storage engine, or a full authentication protocol implementation. It provides
//! the cryptographic building blocks intended to be composed by higher-level systems.
