"""``command`` secret source — resolve secrets via a user-configured helper.

Ports the security semantics of the desktop app's TypeScript
``CommandSecretsProvider`` (hermes-desktop ``src/main/secrets/commandProvider.ts``)
to the Python agent. The helper command (e.g. ``keepassxc-cli``,
``secret-tool``, or a script that cats a tmpfs env file) comes from
``secrets.command`` in ``config.yaml`` — NEVER from ``.env``, which holds
only secret values.

Security model (mirrors the TS provider line-for-line where it matters):

* The command string is the USER'S OWN configuration (same trust level as
the ``.env`` file they control), so it is run via ``/bin/sh -c <command>``.
* The requested key is passed to the child ONLY via the ``HERMES_SECRET_KEY``
environment variable — it is NEVER interpolated into the shell string, so
a hostile key name (e.g. ``"; rm -rf ~``) is inert data, not code.
* Hard timeout (default 3s) + output cap (default 1 MiB); any failure
(non-zero exit, timeout, spawn failure, oversized output) degrades to
"no value" rather than raising.
* Failures log ONLY structured fields (exit code / signal / errno) to
stderr — never the command string, the helper's stderr, or any secret
value. The helper's stderr is captured via a pipe and DISCARDED so its
diagnostics (which can carry secret material) never reach our stderr.
* The startup/apply path runs the helper exactly ONCE (with an empty
``HERMES_SECRET_KEY``) — it is never called per-key in a loop, so a
helper that blocks (e.g. on a vault unlock prompt) can't be spawned
dozens of times.
* PLATFORM: the provider is POSIX-only (needs ``/bin/sh``). On Windows it
degrades to an empty result with a warning; Windows users stay on the
default ``env`` provider.

Do not pass the full post-dotenv environment to a secret helper: it contains every credential Hermes knows. Current main's run_secret_cli() uses a minimal allowlisted environment and argv-only execution; the command source needs to adopt that contract.
