Subject: [PATCH] Add pre-commit hook to detect secrets
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Blocks commits containing:
- Private key file headers (RSA/EC/DSA/OPENSSH)
- Plaintext passwords/tokens ≥16 chars
- Gitea/GitHub-style hex tokens
- Files with private key path suffixes (_ed25519, _rsa, etc.)

Allowlisted: Ansible vault variable references ({{ vault_* }}),
encrypted vault blocks ($ANSIBLE_VAULT), and comment lines.

Run scripts/install-hooks.sh after cloning to activate.
