leetcrypt 425c299359 Initial commit: Incredigo — local-first RAM-only credential custody
v1: discover → migrate → expiry tracking → sealed export/import.

- vault: memguard mlock/DONTDUMP arena, handle indirection, zeroize-on-drop
- discover: registry + 8 read-only scanners (aws, env, netrc, ssh, docker,
  kube, git) and a file/dir harvester (--path)
- sink: gopass streaming insert; length-prefixed bundle framing; Sealer
  interface with three impls — age (default, authenticated), hmac
  (authenticated, openssl-only encrypt-then-MAC), openssl (CBC fallback,
  unauthenticated; OpenSSL 3.x enc refuses AEAD)
- policy: local expiry engine, 60d/8w threshold parser
- audit: redacted append-only JSONL, injectable clock
- export/import: passphrase from no-echo prompt or $INCREDIGO_PASSPHRASE into
  locked memory; secrets stream gopass<->Sealer as bytes, never Go strings
- tests: scanner leak-checks, vault zeroize, bundle round-trip via fake gopass;
  go test ./... green, -race clean

# Adding a scanner
A scanner teaches incredigo to discover credentials from one location/format. Each
is a single self-contained file in `internal/discover/` that implements the
`Scanner` interface and registers itself in `init()`.
## The contract
```go
type Scanner interface {
Name() string
Available() bool
Scan(ctx context.Context, v *vault.Vault) ([]Credential, error)
}
```
Rules:
1. **Read-only, always.** Open files with `os.Open` (O_RDONLY). Never write,
rename, or truncate a source file.
2. **Never build plaintext into a long-lived value.** Read the secret into a
`[]byte`, hand it to `v.Store(secret)`, and put the returned `*vault.Handle` in
`Credential.Secret`. `Store` wipes your slice for you.
3. **Pre-redact identities.** `Identity` and any `Meta` values are printed and
logged. Use `redactMiddle(...)` (see `aws.go`) for key ids etc. Never put the
secret in `Identity`/`Meta`.
4. **Set `Modified`** from the file mtime — it feeds the expiry policy.
5. **`Available()` should be cheap** (a `stat`), and return false when the source
is absent so the run skips it cleanly.
## Template
```go
package discover
import (
"context"
"os"
"path/filepath"
"incredigo/internal/vault"
)
func init() { Register(&fooScanner{}) }
type fooScanner struct{}
func (f *fooScanner) Name() string { return "foo" }
func (f *fooScanner) path() string {
home, _ := os.UserHomeDir()
return filepath.Join(home, ".foo", "credentials")
}
func (f *fooScanner) Available() bool {
_, err := os.Stat(f.path())
return err == nil
}
func (f *fooScanner) Scan(ctx context.Context, v *vault.Vault) ([]Credential, error) {
p := f.path()
b, err := os.ReadFile(p) // read-only
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
fi, _ := os.Stat(p)
secret := parseSecret(b) // your format logic
return []Credential{{
Source: f.Name(),
Kind: KindToken,
Identity: "foo / " + redactMiddle(/* a non-secret id */),
Location: p,
Modified: fi.ModTime(),
Secret: v.Store([]byte(secret)),
}}, nil
}
```
That's it — the registry picks it up automatically, and `scan`/`migrate`/`status`
all gain the new source with no other changes.
## Tests
Add `foo_test.go` with a fixture file in a temp dir; assert that `Scan` returns
the expected metadata and that `Identity`/`Meta` contain no secret substrings.
