//! FROST threshold signatures — real `frost-ed25519` integration (R14 P2).
//!
//! Replaces the R13 P8 scaffold (#302) with the actual zcash
//! `frost-ed25519` v3 crate. DKG, signing, and verification all
//! flow through the canonical FROST primitives; the aggregated
//! signature is a real Ed25519 Schnorr signature indistinguishable
//! to verifiers from a single-key sig.
//!
//! ## What ships in this module
//!
//! 1. **DKG** — [`run_dkg_in_memory`]: simulate distributed key
//!    generation across N parties. Production deployments run the
//!    same `dkg::part1` / `part2` / `part3` flow but transport the
//!    messages over a real network; the in-memory orchestrator is
//!    the same logic with all parties co-located. Returns one
//!    [`KeyMaterial`] per participant + the aggregated
//!    [`PublicKeyPackage`].
//! 2. **Sign** — [`sign_round_trip`]: m-of-n signing. Coordinator
//!    picks `m` participants, each commits a nonce
//!    (`round1::commit`), each produces a partial signature
//!    (`round2::sign`), the coordinator aggregates
//!    (`aggregate`). Returns a single Ed25519 signature.
//! 3. **Verify** — [`verify_threshold_signature`]: same shape as
//!    Ed25519 verification — the threshold structure is invisible
//!    to verifiers.
//! 4. **Wire-format types** — [`ThresholdConfig`],
//!    [`SigningRequest`], [`SigningResponse`] for the
//!    coordinator ↔ signer message protocol. Same shape as the
//!    R13 scaffold so callers don't have to refactor.
//!
//! ## What's still future work
//!
//! - **Network transport.** This module runs DKG + sign in-process.
//!   A board-member signoff workflow needs an authenticated
//!   transport (TLS + per-member auth) between the coordinator and
//!   each signer. The `SigningRequest` / `SigningResponse` types
//!   are designed to ride over any transport; we don't bake one
//!   in.
//! - **Persistence.** Each member's secret share must be stored
//!   securely (encrypted at rest, ideally HSM-backed). The
//!   [`KeyMaterial::secret_share_bytes`] / [`from_secret_share_bytes`]
//!   round-trip lets operators serialise+encrypt+store, but the
//!   storage layer is operator-side.
//! - **Re-sharing.** Adding/removing members without breaking the
//!   published pubkey is "proactive secret sharing" — out of
//!   scope. Today's deployments re-run DKG to rotate.
