sneak 6f2538cfd2 Wipe memguard buffers on every exit, restore echo on Ctrl-C (closes #35)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m4s
Entry() now returns the exit code and only main calls os.Exit, so the
deferred memguard.Purge() in Entry() runs on success and on error;
before, os.Exit(1) skipped every deferred Destroy().

SIGINT and SIGTERM go through memguard's handler, which wipes every
buffer and exits with status 1. The passphrase prompt turns terminal
echo off until its read returns, and the handler exits before that, so
on Ctrl-C the handler first restores the terminal settings saved at
startup. It leaves the terminal alone on SIGTERM, which can reach a
background process, and changing the terminal from the background would
stop the process.

Model: opus-5-5
