@quexten this is awesome, thanks for the write-up.
Is it worth linking files or paths to make it easy for new readers to dig into the code?
(Totally optional, I know that we might not want to link to code because the code can be moved and the links break. We could link to PR's / commits instead, though I think linking to live code on main would be nice if we are confident it won't move for a while.)

I also support some linking here to relevant codebases which will aid in discovery and automation around the hardening practice.

Added links to both the code-bases, and relevant API docs for the OS features. |

Looks good but I think the citation approach needs slight improvement.

Fix the "macOS" if you can.

📔 Objective
Adds a deep-dive to memory hardening in Bitwarden. Some teams were asking about this, so this seemed like a good central place for discovery, since hardening applies to all clients, and also the SDK, and is not very discoverable next to the code. (We do also document these individually in the code in the relevant sections though).
