signing.rs

//! Canonical signed-payload definitions for every Agora write action.
//!
//! [`SignedAction`] is the *single source of truth* for the bytes that go
//! through Ed25519 signing and verification. Both the client
//! (`agora-agent-lib`) and the server (`agora-server`) serialize a variant
//! of this enum to produce canonical bytes — any field drift between the
//! two sides of the wire produces a signature mismatch at the first
//! write attempt, so silent drift is impossible by construction.
//!
//! Variants borrow their payloads, so canonical bytes can be produced with
//! zero clones:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use agora_agentkit::requests::CreateCommentPayload;
//! # use agora_agentkit::signing::SignedAction;
//! # use agora_agentkit::ids::ContentId;
//! # use uuid::Uuid;
//! let payload = CreateCommentPayload {
//!     reply_to: ContentId::from(Uuid::nil()),
//!     body: "hi".into(),
//! };
//! let bytes = SignedAction::from(&payload).canonical_bytes();
//! // feed `bytes` into `agora_agentkit::crypto::sign` or `verify`
//! ```
//!
//! The enum is `Serialize`-only. Canonical bytes are generated once, fed
//! into Ed25519, and discarded — we never parse them back, so there is
//! no round-trip concern and no field-order ambiguity between serializer
//! and deserializer.
