pem.rs

//! Hand-rolled PEM (RFC 7468) codec.
//!
//! Wraps and unwraps `-----BEGIN <LABEL>-----` ... `-----END <LABEL>-----`
//! armor around an arbitrary DER blob. Used by [`crate::pkcs8`],
//! [`crate::spki`], and [`crate::sec1`] for on-disk format support.
//!
//! # Posture
//!
//! - **Liberal decoder, conservative encoder.** [`decode`] accepts the
//!   relaxed RFC 7468 production: arbitrary whitespace (including CR,
//!   LF, tab, space) anywhere inside the body, and either CRLF or LF
//!   line terminators around the boundary lines. [`encode`] emits the
//!   strict RFC 1421 production: 64 base-64 characters per line, LF
//!   terminator, no trailing whitespace.
//! - **No external dependencies.** The base64 codec is embedded below
//!   (~80 LOC) per the v0.3 scope's zero-runtime-deps stance (Q7.1).
//! - **`no_std` + `alloc`.** No file-loading helpers in this module.
//!
//! # Failure-mode invariant
//!
//! [`decode`] returns `Result<Vec<u8>, Error>` with a single
//! [`Error::Failed`] variant. Distinguishing "wrong label" from "bad
//! base64" from "missing END line" is forbidden — see `CLAUDE.md`.
