//! huddle 0.7.1: End-to-end DM key derivation via Ed25519→X25519 ECDH.
//!
//! Both peers in a 1-1 DM derive the same 32-byte room key from their
//! long-term Ed25519 identity keys — no shared passphrase, no central
//! key agreement, no extra round-trip beyond `MemberAnnounce` for the
//! partner's pubkey.
//!
//! Steps:
//!   1. Ed25519 seed → X25519 secret. We hash the seed with SHA-512 and
//!      take the first 32 bytes; `StaticSecret::from(bytes)` performs
//!      the canonical X25519 clamping. This is the same conversion
//!      libsodium uses in `crypto_sign_ed25519_sk_to_curve25519`.
//!   2. Ed25519 pubkey → X25519 pubkey via the birational
//!      Edwards-to-Montgomery map (`VerifyingKey::to_montgomery`).
//!      Matches `crypto_sign_ed25519_pk_to_curve25519`.
//!   3. X25519 Diffie-Hellman gives a 32-byte shared secret.
//!   4. HKDF-SHA256 expands it to the room key, binding the result to
//!      the canonical DM room_id via the `info` parameter so this DM's
//!      key can never collide with any other context.
//!
//! The output replaces the Argon2id-derived `passphrase_key` in the
//! existing encrypted-room flow. The wrap / unwrap helpers in
//! `crypto::passphrase` accept any `[u8; 32]`, so no other changes are
//! needed downstream — DMs and group rooms share the Megolm path.
