//! **Group membership as signed, append-only evidence** (punkt 9, the signing
//! half).
//!
//! [`crate::auth`] owns *who is in a group right now*: the `memberships` map in
//! the identity table, under the control store's compare-and-swap, is the
//! authority the SSH listener resolves a grant through, and it must be — a
//! membership check on the connection path is one shard probe, not a walk of a
//! log.
//!
//! This module owns the other half: **who changed that membership, and when**,
//! as a signature. A row saying `alice is in admins` is the server's word; an
//! `sshsig` by the acting admin over `add alice to admins at T` is the admin's,
//! and a third party can check it later with `ssh-keygen -Y verify` and the
//! admin's registered public key — no shared secret, no trust in the server
//! that stored it. That is the whole of what gunnar promises about access: not
//! "trust our database", but "here is the evidence, check it yourself".
//!
//! It is the exact shape [`crate::forge`] gives a review approval, and it signs
//! through the same one signer ([`crate::sshsig`], one implementation). The difference is
//! only what is bound and under which namespace:
//!
//! # Events, not state
//!
//! What is signed is *what happened* — `add` or `remove`, naming the group, the
//! member, the actor and the time — and the membership at any instant is
//! [`fold`]ed from the events rather than read from a mutable row. Remove a
//! member and re-add them and the log holds **two** signed events, both
//! standing: "who was in this group at time T" is answered from the log, and
//! the answer to "was alice ever removed" is a fact nobody can quietly erase by
//! writing the row back. A mutable row cannot answer either.
//!
//! # Its own namespace
//!
//! [`MEMBERSHIP_NAMESPACE`] is distinct from every other, so a membership
//! signature can never be replayed as a forge approval, a build provenance, a
//! tree head or a `git` commit — [`crate::sshsig::verify`] binds the namespace
//! and refuses a blob made under any other. The red for that is
//! `a_membership_signature_does_not_verify_as_an_approval` below.

/// The `sshsig` namespace a membership event is signed under.
///
/// Its own, like every signed log in this crate. A signature made here does not
/// verify under [`crate::forge::FORGE_NAMESPACE`], under
