//! K-of-N codex32 Shamir share encoding (ms v0.2).
//!
//! A secret (`entr` or `mnem`) splits into N shares, any K of which recombine
//! to the original — using codex32's *native* threshold(k)+index Shamir
//! mechanism, NOT a payload byte (SPEC_ms_v0_2_kofn §1). The codex32 header
//! threshold char is the share-vs-single discriminator; the prefix byte
//! (`0x00`=entr / `0x02`=mnem) remains the payload-KIND discriminator, recovered
//! only on the secret-at-S after interpolation.
//!
//! v0.1/mnem single-strings stay byte-identical: `encode_shares(tag, ZERO, 1, &p)`
//! reduces to the exact `package()`/`encode()` construction (the Phase-0 gate).
