Plain Text Mercurial Auth Passwords
Mercurial user hgrc files can contain [auth] password fields and password-bearing repository URLs. Our isotope stores those hgrc files in the macOS keychain and injects them through temporary HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME and HGRCPATH values while `hg` runs.
Local README excerpt
Mercurial
Mercurial reads user configuration from ~/.hgrc and ~/.config/hg/hgrc. Those files can contain [auth] credentials, including password fields and password-bearing remote URLs.
This radioisotope migrates those hgrc files to the keychain and wraps hg so they are recreated under a temporary home/config tree while Mercurial runs.

Coverage source
Caveats
- Runtime edits to hgrc are not persisted back to keychain.
- Direct execution of the original binary will not receive credentials.
