//! Node identity — Ed25519 keypair foundation for distributed huskies.
//!
//! Each huskies node has a stable identity derived from an Ed25519 keypair
//! that is generated on first run and persisted to SQLite. The public key
//! hex-encodes to the node's ID (already used as the CRDT author in
//! [`crate::crdt_state`]).
//!
//! This module adds the **challenge-response layer** needed for story 480
//! (cryptographic node auth on WebSocket connect):
//!
//! ```text
//! Connector: Listener:
//! connect() ──────────────────────► accept()
//! ◄──────── challenge() ──
//! sign_challenge(kp, challenge) ──►
//! ◄── verify_challenge() OK/Reject
//! ```
//!
//! # Design decisions (spike findings)
//!
//! 1. **Keypair persistence**: the seed (32-byte private key) is stored in the
//! `crdt_node_identity` SQLite table. On restart the same keypair is
//! reconstructed deterministically, so the node's identity survives process
//! restarts without any key-management ceremony.
//!
//! 2. **Node ID = hex(public key)**: the node ID is just the lowercase hex
//! encoding of the 32-byte Ed25519 public key. This matches what
//! `bft-json-crdt` uses as the CRDT author, so identity is consistent
//! across the CRDT replication and the WebSocket auth layers.
//!
//! 3. **Challenge nonce**: 32 random bytes, hex-encoded. The connector signs
//! the UTF-8 bytes of the hex string. This keeps the wire protocol simple
//! (all values are printable hex strings) while providing 256 bits of
//! replay protection.
//!
//! 4. **Signature encoding**: Ed25519 signatures (64 bytes) are hex-encoded
//! for inclusion in JSON handshake messages.
//!
//! 5. **Trusted-key list** (not implemented here — story 480 scope): the
//! verifier needs a set of allowed public keys; this module provides the
//! `verify_challenge` primitive but leaves the allow-list to story 480.
