Credential Shield Protocol – Server-blind breach checking for passwords

Feels like a practical riff on HIBP's k‑anonymity model — they add an Argon2 local prehash and a short SHA‑512 prefix to shift the threat model — which is interesting but not revolutionary. The repo already has a spec, threat model and a PowerShell client, yet there's no server reference and some details (their '4 chars = 32‑bit' claim, prefix-collision/load tradeoffs, rate-limiting and caching implications) need clearer operational analysis before you can trust it at scale.
