• Validate real block devices and refuse mounted or in-use targets.
• Show clear device details before confirmation.
• Keep destructive safeguards strict and explicit.

• Keep optional tools optional.
• Use extra wipe methods only if the command is present.
• Use ddrescue or dd_rescue only after dd fails.
• Keep nvme and hdparm optional.
