feat: implement secure memory operations for enhanced data protection
Integrate secure memory handling in SecureCompletionClient to protect plaintext payloads from disk swapping and memory lingering. The implementation uses a secure_bytes context manager to safeguard sensitive data during encryption. Added fallback mechanism with warning when SecureMemory module is unavailable. Updated docstring to reflect the new security measure.

|
||||
Secure Memory Module for Client-Side
|
||||
|
||||
Cross-platform secure memory handling with memory locking and guaranteed zeroing.
|
||||
This module mirrors the server-side implementation but is optimized for client-side
|
||||
usage with Python's memory management characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
Supports:
|
||||
- Linux: mlock() + memset()
|
||||
- Windows: VirtualLock() + RtlSecureZeroMemory()
|
||||
- macOS: mlock() + memset()
|
||||
- Fallback: ctypes-based zeroing for unsupported platforms
|
||||
|
||||
Security Features:
|
||||
- Prevents memory from being swapped to disk
|
||||
- Guarantees memory is zeroed before deallocation
|
||||
- Context managers for automatic cleanup
|
||||
- No root privileges required (uses capabilities on Linux)
