// SECURITY NOTE: Never hardcode PSK keys in source code (CWE-321 / CWE-798).
// The values below are illustrative placeholders. In production:
//   - Load keys from environment variables, a key file, or a secrets manager.
//   - Use at least 128 bits of cryptographically-random key material.
//   - Rotate keys regularly.
// Example environment setup before running:
//   export PSK_CLIENT1=0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef
//   export PSK_CLIENT2=fedcba9876543210fedcba9876543210
