4/// Inner wrapper for a vector of bytes that can be safely cloned as a secret.
5///
6/// This struct wraps a `Vec<u8>` and implements the necessary traits for secure
7/// secret handling: `Clone` for duplication and `Zeroize` for secure memory wiping.
8/// The `zeroize(drop)` attribute ensures the vector contents are zeroized when
9/// this struct is dropped.

16/// A dynamically-sized vector of bytes wrapped as a cloneable secret.
17///
18/// This type provides a secure wrapper around a `Vec<u8>` that can be safely cloned
19/// while ensuring the underlying data is properly zeroized when no longer needed.
20/// Use this for variable-length secret data like encrypted payloads or keys.

26/// # {
27/// use secure_gate::{CloneableVec, ExposeSecret};
28///
29/// // Create from a vector
30/// let data: CloneableVec = vec![1, 2, 3, 4].into();
31///
32/// // Create from a slice
33/// let data2: CloneableVec = b"hello world".as_slice().into();
34///
35/// // Access the inner vector
36/// let inner = &data.expose_secret().0;
37/// assert_eq!(inner.len(), 4);
