//! Canonical, deterministic, length-prefixed binary encoding for attestation
//! preimages (T-3.D.0, ADR 0010 §1b, ADR 0014 §"Signed preimage").
//!
//! ## Why a custom binary encoder
//!
//! ADR 0010 §1b says: *"Verifiers MUST fail closed on unknown or malformed
//! `schema_version` (no partial verify, no 'best effort' decode)."* That
//! requires the bytes that go into the Ed25519 signature to be **identical**
//! across operating systems, serde versions, and language implementations.
//! `serde_json` does not give that property: object key ordering depends on
//! the `preserve_order` feature, integer-vs-float coercion can drift, and
//! whitespace policy differs.
//!
//! We therefore use the same framing pattern as
//! `cortex-ledger::hash::event_hash` (T-1.B.6): a 1-byte domain tag followed
//! by length-prefixed fields in a **fixed order**. The encoder lives in
//! `cortex-core` so every crate that needs to verify a signature gets the
//! same bytes.
//!
//! ## Framing
//!
//! ```text
//! signing_input = DOMAIN_TAG_ATTESTATION_PREIMAGE          // 1 byte: 0x10
//!              || schema_version (u16, BE)                  // 2 bytes
//!              || lp(event_source_variant_tag)              // 1 + N
//!              || lp(source_field_1) || lp(source_field_2)  // each 8 + N
//!                 ...                                       // (variant-specific)
//!              || lp(event_id)                              // 8 + N
//!              || lp(payload_hash)                          // 8 + N
//!              || lp(session_id)                            // 8 + N
//!              || lp(ledger_id)                             // 8 + N
//!              || lp(chain_position OR previous_hash)       // 8 + N
//!              || lp(signed_at_iso8601)                     // 8 + N
//!              || lp(key_id)                                // 8 + N
//! ```
//!
//! where `lp(x) = (x.len() as u64).to_be_bytes() || x.bytes`. Big-endian is
//! used for both the `schema_version` and length prefixes; this is
//! architecture-independent on every CI target.
//!
//! ## Domain tag allocation
//!
//! `cortex-ledger::hash` reserves 0x01 for `event_hash`. The header comment
//! in that module also reserved 0x02 for "audit" and 0x03 for "trace seal"
//! as future-use slots; **none of those reservations have shipped**. To
//! avoid any chance of collision with that documented reservation block we
//! allocate the attestation preimage tag at **0x10** (decimal 16), opening
//! a fresh domain for cryptographic attestations. Future attestation
//! variants (e.g. rotation envelope) take subsequent values in this block.
