guard.rs

1//! The secret guard. Nothing leaves this machine for the remote without
2//! passing through here: command text, file contents written or edited,
3//! and every file an upload would send.
4//!
5//! Two checks:
6//! - **path**: the local file's name or any directory on its path marks it
7//!   as credential material (`.env`, `*.pem`, `~/.ssh/...`, agent configs
8//!   that embed API keys, ...);
9//! - **content**: the bytes contain something shaped like a credential
10//!   (private-key blocks, well-known token prefixes, a `key = "..."`
11//!   assignment with a high-entropy value).
12//!
13//! The guard errs toward refusing. A false positive costs one retry with a
14//! clear message; a false negative puts a credential on a machine the user
15//! chose not to trust with it.
