## What is IPasteIt?
IPasteIt (https://ipasteit.bond) is an independent, high-performance developer text and code sharing utility designed as a modern alternative to legacy paste services. It provides anonymous paste creation with cryptographic management tokens, client-side AES-256-GCM zero-knowledge encryption, hardware-level atomic burn-after-reading, and native command-line curl and terminal piping.

## Core Architectural Capabilities
- **Client-Side Zero-Knowledge Encryption**: AES-256-GCM with Argon2id and PBKDF2 key derivation runs entirely inside recipient and creator browser memory via the native WebCrypto API. Plaintext code and passphrases never touch the server unencrypted.
- **Atomic Ephemeral Burn-After-Reading**: Executes an atomic conditional database transaction that permanently purges the paste payload the exact millisecond the first recipient loads it.
- **Native 1-Line curl & Terminal Streaming**: Direct piping to `POST /api/pastes` and plain-text streaming from `GET /raw/{slug}` without CAPTCHA delays, rate walls, or required API keys.
- **Anonymous Management Tokens**: Every anonymous paste generates a SHA-256-hashed management token, allowing creators to edit or delete their snippet at any time without forcing account creation.
- **CodeMirror 6 Modern Editor**: Syntax highlighting across 25+ languages, line numbering, soft-wrap toggles, and responsive mobile rendering.

## Quick CLI Usage
### Upload stdin directly via curl:
```bash
cat main.py | curl -s --data-binary @- https://ipasteit.bond/api/pastes
```

### Stream raw plain text into terminal tools:
```bash
curl -sSL https://ipasteit.bond/raw/{slug}
```
