Pull request overview
This PR hardens the libgsasl SCRAM integration in lib/vauth/ by preventing a potential double-free during error cleanup, and aligns documented minimum dependency versions with the new requirement.
Changes:
- Enforce libgsasl >= 1.6.0 at compile time to rely on
gsasl_finish(NULL)being safe. - Prevent a potential double-free by NULLing
gsasl->ctxaftergsasl_done()ongsasl_client_start()failure. - Document the libgsasl minimum supported version in
docs/INTERNALS.md.
