//! Memory-hardened key storage: 128 indistinguishable arrays with decoy writes.
//!
//! The real 32-byte key is XOR-split into 4 shares (16 `usize` values on 64-bit),
//! scattered across 128 static arrays of 4,096 entries each. 123 arrays are pure
//! decoys — provably indistinguishable from the 5 real arrays.
//!
//! Defense layers:
//! 1. **Secret splitting**: key XOR-split into 4 shares
//! 2. **128 indistinguishable arrays**: 5 real + 123 decoy, all same size, all
//!    OsRng-initialized, all modified identically during set()/clear()
//! 3. **No heap allocations**: zero pointers, zero fingerprints, zero mlock
//! 4. **Scattered positions**: seed, multipliers, and share data each placed at
//!    (array, slot) positions derived from ASLR instance address. The slot
//!    dimension is partitioned into LANE_COUNT disjoint lanes; each live key
//!    owns one lane (chosen at set() to differ from other live keys), so two
//!    keys can never share a slot — cross-key writes are collision-safe.
//! 5. **Decoy writes**: during set(), ALL 128 arrays receive ~16 random writes,
//!    making real writes indistinguishable via snapshot diffing
//! 6. **Zero side-channel**: `AtomicUsize::load` during get() — zero writes
//! 7. **Zero searchable constants**: all multipliers derived from ASLR addresses,
//!    all modular arithmetic uses power-of-2 AND masks. The vault code compiles
//!    to generic LDR + MUL + AND + EOR + LSR — indistinguishable from the
//!    thousands of hash/cipher/RNG functions in the binary.
//!
//! Security tiers:
//!   **Without source code** (info-stealers, forensic tools): immune.
//!   Arrays are information-theoretically indistinguishable.
//!
//!   **With source code + memory dump**: attacker must brute-force the ASLR
//!   instance address (~2.5M candidates on macOS, ~268M on Linux).
//!   Computational hardening makes each attempt ~25 μs.
//!   Estimated: ~1 min (macOS) to ~2 hrs (Linux), single-core.
//!
//!   The vault is the second layer — anti-debug protections (PT_DENY_ATTACH,
//!   PR_SET_DUMPABLE, DACL) prevent obtaining the dump in the first place.
