//!
//! Pure functions over raw 32-byte SHA-256 digests — no I/O, no wire
//! shapes (those live in `acdp-types::log`), usable under
//! `--no-default-features`. The RFC-ACDP-0012 hash-valued wire strings
//! (`"sha256:<hex>"`) are decoded/encoded by the callers; everything
//! here operates on the digests those strings encode (RFC-ACDP-0012 §2).
//!
//! The `0x00`/`0x01` domain-separation prefixes of RFC 6962 §2.1 are
//! REQUIRED (RFC-ACDP-0012 §5.1): they provide second-preimage
//! separation between leaves and interior nodes — without them, an
//! attacker who can choose leaf bytes could present an interior node's
//! 64-byte child concatenation as a "leaf" and forge proofs for entries
//! that were never appended.
