//! SKINNY-128-384+ tweakable block cipher (encryption only), Romulus v1.3 profile.
//!
//! 128-bit block, 384-bit tweakey, 40 rounds. Layout matches the reference C
//! implementation (`state[row][col]` with `state[i>>2][i&3]` ↔ linear index `i`).
//!
//! # Constant-time note (finding F5, card t_7f110663) — FIXED
//!
//! [`sub_cell8`] used to apply the SKINNY-8 S-box via a 256-entry lookup table
//! (`SBOX_8`) indexed by cipher state bytes, which are a function of the Romulus key
//! and the tweakey schedule — the textbook AES/SKINNY-style cache-timing surface.
//! Unlike `lib-q-rocca-s`'s AES round, there is no hardware S-box instruction to fall
//! back to here, so the table ran on every build, on every platform.
//!
//! This is now replaced with a bitsliced, branch-free evaluation (the same house
//! pattern `lib-q-saturnin` uses for its own S-box — see
//! `lib-q-saturnin/src/core.rs::apply_sbox`, pure `^`/`&`/`|` on bitsliced state, no
//! table). The 16 state cells are transposed into 8 bit-planes (one `u16` per input
//! bit position, one bit per cell) and the S-box's Algebraic Normal Form — derived
//! mechanically from `SBOX_8` via the standard Zhegalkin/Mobius transform, which is a
//! bijective representation of the same Boolean function, not an approximation — is
//! evaluated on all 16 cells at once using only `&`/`^`. No memory is indexed by
//! secret data and no branch depends on secret data. `SBOX_8` is kept only as the
//! `#[cfg(test)]` reference the exhaustive 256-input equivalence test checks against.
