In the source code , it mentioned SharedSecret::new(), what type does SharedSecret::new() return? Can we customize the content?

That is a private API, you can only obtain a shared secret through Encapsulate or Decapsulate operations. You can not set the shared secret in post-quantum KEMs.

check that the C function called returns 0 for success.
