/// Stack-allocated secure secret wrapper.
///
/// This is a zero-cost wrapper for fixed-size secrets like byte arrays or primitives.
/// The inner field is private, forcing all access through explicit methods.
///
/// Security invariants:
/// - No `Deref` or `AsRef` — prevents silent access or borrowing.
/// - No implicit `Copy` — even for `[u8; N]`, duplication must be explicit via `.clone()`.
/// - `Debug` is always redacted.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
/// ```
/// use secure_gate::Fixed;
/// let secret = Fixed::new(42u32);
/// assert_eq!(*secret.expose_secret(), 42);
/// ```
///
/// For byte arrays (most common):
/// ```
/// use secure_gate::{Fixed, fixed_alias};
/// fixed_alias!(Aes256Key, 32);
/// let key_bytes = [0x42u8; 32];
/// let key: Aes256Key = Fixed::from(key_bytes);
/// assert_eq!(key.len(), 32);
/// assert_eq!(key.expose_secret()[0], 0x42);
/// ```
///
/// With `zeroize` feature (automatic wipe on drop):
/// ```
/// # #[cfg(feature = "zeroize")]
/// # {
/// use secure_gate::Fixed;
/// let mut secret = Fixed::new([1u8, 2, 3]);
/// drop(secret); // memory wiped automatically
