//! Blocking SSH-agent client.
//!
//! Wraps [`ssh_agent_lib::blocking::Client`] with a Gitway-native error
//! surface and a small convenience API: `connect`, `add`, `list`, `remove`,
//! `remove_all`, `lock`, `unlock`.
//!
//! The blocking API is chosen deliberately — an `ssh-add`-style binary has
//! no use for async concurrency, and avoiding tokio here keeps the
//! dependency graph small.
//!
//! # Cross-platform transport
//!
//! On Unix the client connects to the Unix domain socket at
//! `$SSH_AUTH_SOCK` via [`std::os::unix::net::UnixStream`]. On Windows
//! the same env var conventionally carries a named-pipe path (OpenSSH
//! for Windows uses `\\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent`); we open that with
//! [`std::fs::OpenOptions::read(true).write(true).open(path)`], which
//! gives us a `Read + Write` handle that drives `ssh_agent_lib`'s
//! transport exactly the same way.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::path::Path;
//! use gitway_lib::agent::client::Agent;
//!
//! let mut agent = Agent::from_env()?;
//! agent.list()?.iter().for_each(|id| println!("{}", id.fingerprint));
//! # Ok::<(), gitway_lib::GitwayError>(())
//! ```
//!
//! # Errors
//!
//! Every operation returns [`GitwayError`]. Agent-protocol failures and
//! I/O failures are both folded into the `Io` variant with a descriptive
//! message; callers that care can match via [`GitwayError::is_io`].
//!
//! # Zeroization
//!
//! `ssh-agent-lib` 0.5.2's `lock` / `unlock` take a plain `String` by
//! value, so the passphrase copy inside the library cannot be cleared on
//! our behalf. Callers supply a [`Zeroizing<String>`] and this module
//! clones only the byte contents into the library's expected `String`
//! argument; the caller's original buffer remains zeroizable.
