Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Reset() behavior and the extension-generation code in vtprotobuf. Define how Scrub() should recursively overwrite message buffers and fields, then add the corresponding implementation and tests; done means generated messages expose Scrub() with the proposed zeroing behavior.
