//! Ed25519 commit / remix signing.
//!
//! Spec: `docs/SPEC-SIGNING.md`. The exact bytes covered by an Ed25519
//! signature, and the domain separator used, are normative; this module
//! reproduces them byte-for-byte. The golden tests in
//! `tests/golden_sign.rs` pin the output.
//!
//! Briefly:
//!
//! * Algorithm: Ed25519 per RFC 8032, signing the **BLAKE3 digest** of
//! `domain || signing_bytes` (`PureEdDSA` over a pre-hashed message —
//! the digest itself is what is signed; we do *not* use Ed25519ph).
//! * Domain separator is byte-prepended to the signing bytes; the
//! trailing `\x00` is part of the domain (see SPEC §2).
//! * `commit_signing_bytes` and `remix_signing_bytes` deliberately
//! exclude `signature`, `message_hash`, and `content_digest` (commit
//! only) — see SPEC §3.
//!
//! Keys live on disk as the raw 32-byte Ed25519 seed at
//! `.mkit/keys/default.key`, mode 0600. Public-key derivation is
//! deterministic from the seed.
