Function load_plaintext_secrets 

Source 
pub fn load_plaintext_secrets(
    plaintext: &[u8],
    format: Option<SecretsFormat>,
) -> Result<PatternCompileResult>
Expand description

Load and parse a plaintext secrets file into ScanPatterns.

This function mirrors load_encrypted_secrets but skips AES decryption and password prompts entirely. It preserves memory hygiene by zeroizing parsed entries after compilation.

§Arguments

  • plaintext — raw bytes of the secrets file (JSON / YAML / TOML).
  • format — optional explicit format override.

§Security

Even for unencrypted secrets, entries are zeroized after pattern compilation to minimise the window during which sensitive values reside in memory.

§Errors

Returns [SanitizeError::SecretsError] if parsing or pattern compilation fails.
