//! Canonical-JSON (RFC 8785 / JCS) + content-addressed identity.
//! For our string-only payload, serde_json's default output (sorted BTreeMap
//! keys, compact separators, raw non-ASCII, no `/`-escape) IS JCS — verified by
//! the golden vectors. Liveness arrays are sorted+deduped here so set-valued
//! fields are order-insensitive; grounds[] keeps authored order.
