- Remove unused imports across multiple modules
- Add #![allow(dead_code)] for public API items preserved for future use
- Add #![allow(deprecated)] for rand::Rng::gen_range usage
- Add #![allow(unused_assignments)] in main.rs
- Add #![allow(unreachable_code)] in network/stun.rs
- Prefix unused variables with underscore (_ip_tracker, _prefer_ipv6)
- Fix unused_must_use warning in tls_front/cache.rs
This ensures clean compilation without warnings while preserving
public API items that may be used in the future.
- Fixed tests that failed to compile due to mismatched generic parameters of HandshakeResult:
- Changed `HandshakeResult<i32>` to `HandshakeResult<i32, (), ()>`
- Changed `HandshakeResult::BadClient` to `HandshakeResult::BadClient { reader: (), writer: () }`
- Added Zeroize for all structures holding key material:
- AesCbc – key and IV are zeroized on drop
- SecureRandomInner – PRNG output buffer is zeroized on drop; local key copy in constructor is zeroized immediately after being passed to the cipher
- ObfuscationParams – all four key‑material fields are zeroized on drop
- HandshakeSuccess – all four key‑material fields are zeroized on drop
