ballot_sig.rs

//! Signed seat ballots. A seat signs each ballot it casts with its own
//! ed25519 key, made on its first vote at
//! `$XDG_DATA_HOME/ljos/seats/SEAT/ballot.key` (or `LJOS_SEAT_KEY`), so
//! seats sharing one HOME still sign apart. The signature rides on the
//! issue as a `ballot-sig:` note. A ballot the tracker held before its
//! first pin, by commit order ([`recorded_before_signing`]), is legacy
//! unsigned and still counts. The tracker pins each seat's public key the
//! first time it signs (`.ljos-seat-keys` at the tracker root, committed),
//! so a later ballot under that name signed by another key is a mismatch. The push gate counts a seat ballot only
//! when its latest signature covers exactly that voter, issue and choice
//! under the pinned key.
//!
//! A ballot carries the harness session and a marker (`ljos-ballot/v2`):
//! `-`, or [`SEAT_NONCE`] when only the seat named the session. The
//! session is the harness id, else `VISSUE_AGENT`, else `LJOS_SEAT`, else
//! the MCP connection. It is never a fresh nonce of this process.
//! Minting another seat inside the same session does not make a second voter.
