//! Schnorr Zero-Knowledge Proofs
//!
//! Implements Schnorr's protocol for proving knowledge of a discrete logarithm
//! without revealing the secret. Uses the Fiat-Shamir heuristic for non-interactive
//! proofs.
//!
//! ## Protocol
//!
//! Given generator G and public key P = x*G, prove knowledge of x:
//!
//! 1. Prover picks random k, computes R = k*G
//! 2. Challenge c = H("arc-zkp/schnorr-v2" || "secp256k1" || P || R || ctx || counter_be)
//!    where the counter is incremented on rejection until the hash
//!    output is < q. Eliminates the modular bias of the prior
//!    `Reduce::reduce_bytes` form.
//! 3. Response s = k + c*x
//! 4. Verifier checks: s*G == R + c*P
//!
//! Note: G is fixed (the secp256k1 base point) so it isn't included
//! in the hash input; the curve identifier `"secp256k1"` plus the
//! domain label commits us to a single G implicitly. Earlier
//! revisions of this doc claimed `H(G || P || R || ctx)`, which
//! drifted from the actual hash construction.
//!
//! ## Security
//!
//! - Uses secp256k1 curve (same as Bitcoin/Ethereum)
//! - SHA-256 for Fiat-Shamir challenge
//! - Constant-time operations where possible
//! - **Nonce k is generated fresh from `OsRng` on every call to `prove()`**
//!
//! # Warning: Nonce Reuse is Catastrophic
//!
//! If the same nonce `k` is ever used with the same secret key `x` for two
//! different challenges `c1` and `c2`, an attacker can recover `x`:
//!
//! ```text
//! s1 = k + c1*x,  s2 = k + c2*x
//! s1 - s2 = (c1 - c2)*x  →  x = (s1 - s2) / (c1 - c2)
//! ```
//!
//! This implementation prevents nonce reuse by generating `k` from the OS
//! CSPRNG (`OsRng`) on every proof. **Never modify `prove()` to accept an
//! external nonce or to cache/reuse nonces.**
