//! Heap-allocated wrapper for variable-length secrets.
//!
//! Provides [`Dynamic<T>`], a zero-cost wrapper enforcing explicit access to sensitive data.
//! Treat secrets as radioactive — minimize exposure surface.
//!
//! **Inner type must implement `Zeroize`** for automatic zeroization on drop (including spare capacity).
//! Requires the `alloc` feature.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
//! use secure_gate::{Dynamic, RevealSecret};
//!
//! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
//! {
//! let secret: Dynamic<Vec<u8>> = Dynamic::new(vec![1u8, 2, 3, 4]);
//! let sum = secret.with_secret(|s| s.iter().sum::<u8>());
//! assert_eq!(sum, 10);
//! # }
//! ```
