//! Canonical signing for sub-agent delegation provenance (`#872`).
//!
//! A signed `SubagentSpawn` / `SubagentResult` commits to its *canonical
//! bytes*: the buffa encoding of the message with `signature_hex` cleared.
//! The signer sets `signed_by` to its encoded public key before signing so
//! the encoded key is covered too; the verifier clears `signature_hex` only
//! (the rest, including `signed_by`, must match exactly). Mirrors
//! [`crate::handoff`]'s pattern — the reserved `__delegate_to` primitive's
//! spawn/result events are the delegation-lifecycle counterpart of
//! `Handoff`/`HandoffReturn`, signed the same way.
//!
//! Use [`sign_subagent_spawn_into`] / [`sign_subagent_result_into`] to mint
//! and attach a signature in place; [`verify_subagent_spawn`] /
//! [`verify_subagent_result`] to check provenance. The verifiers never
//! panic — bad hex, bad signature, wrong key all surface as `false`.
