///
/// This is a thin wrapper around `Box<T>` with enforced explicit exposure.
/// Suitable for dynamic-sized secrets like `String` or `Vec<u8>`.
///
/// Security invariants:
/// - No `Deref` or `AsRef` — prevents silent access.
/// - `Debug` is always redacted.
/// - With `zeroize`, wipes the entire allocation on drop (including spare capacity).
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
/// ```
/// use secure_gate::Dynamic;
/// let secret: Dynamic<String> = "hunter2".into();
/// assert_eq!(secret.expose_secret(), "hunter2");
/// ```
///
/// Mutable access:
/// ```
/// use secure_gate::Dynamic;
/// let mut secret = Dynamic::<String>::new("pass".to_string());
/// secret.expose_secret_mut().push('!');
/// assert_eq!(secret.expose_secret(), "pass!");
/// ```
///
/// With `zeroize` (automatic wipe):
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(feature = "zeroize")]
/// # {
/// use secure_gate::Dynamic;
/// let secret = Dynamic::<Vec<u8>>::new(vec![1u8; 32]);
/// drop(secret); // heap wiped automatically
/// # }
