cog-ha-matter (ADR-116 P4): Ed25519 signing layer for witness chain

Closes the cryptographic-attestation gap in ADR-116 §2.2: every
witness event can now be signed by the Seed's Ed25519 key, with
verify available to any auditor holding the public key.

Module shape (`src/witness_signing.rs`, kept separate from
`witness::` so the hash chain stays usable without dalek linked
in — important for the wasm32 audit-verifier variant we'll ship
later):

  * sign_event(event, &SigningKey) -> Signature
  * verify_signature(event, &Signature, &VerifyingKey)
        -> Result<(), SignatureVerifyError>
  * signature_to_hex / signature_from_hex (128-char lowercase,
    matches the witness hex convention)
  * SignatureVerifyError::Invalid
  * SignatureParseError::{Length, Hex}

Key design point: signature covers the SAME canonical bytes
witness::hash_event hashes. That means:

  1. A signed event commits to the entire event content (kind,
     payload, timestamp, seq, prev_hash) — no field can be
     retroactively changed without invalidating both the hash AND
     the signature.

  2. The signature implicitly commits to the event's *chain
     position* via prev_hash — splicing a signed event into a
     different chain breaks verification.

Adds `ed25519-dalek = "2.1"` to cog-ha-matter (already in
workspace via ruv-neural, version kept aligned).

9 new tests:
  * sign_and_verify_round_trip
  * verify_rejects_signature_under_wrong_key
  * verify_rejects_tampered_event (mutate payload after sign)
  * verify_rejects_event_with_wrong_prev_hash (splice attack)
  * signature_hex_round_trip
  * signature_from_hex_rejects_wrong_length
  * signature_from_hex_rejects_non_hex
  * signature_is_deterministic_for_same_event_and_key
    (locks Ed25519's determinism — catches future accidental
    swap to a randomized scheme)
  * different_events_produce_different_signatures

60/60 cog tests green (51 → 60). Key management is intentionally
out of scope here — the cog runtime reads the Seed's key from the
Cognitum control plane's secure store (separate concern).

ADR-116 P4 now ⁵⁄₆:  mDNS record,  chain,  JSONL,  file
persistence,  Ed25519 signing;  responder + embedded broker.

//! `witness_signing` — Ed25519 signature layer over the witness chain.
//!
//! ADR-116 §2.2: every state transition must be signed by the
//! Seed so a downstream auditor can prove the chain wasn't
//! retroactively assembled. The chain primitive
//! (`witness::WitnessChain`) handles hash linkage; this module
//! adds the cryptographic attestation.
//!
//! Kept in a separate module from the chain itself so:
//!
//! * the hash chain stays usable without `ed25519-dalek` linked
//! in (good for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` cog variant we'll
//! ship for browser-side audit verification),
//! * key rotation invalidates *signatures* but not the chain —
//! the auditor only needs the new public key to re-verify,
//! * the signing surface stays small enough to audit in one
//! read.
//!
//! ## What gets signed
//!
//! `sign_event(event, key)` signs the same canonical byte form
//! that `witness::hash_event` hashes. That means:
//!
//! 1. A signature commits to the entire event (kind, payload,
//! timestamp, seq, prev_hash) — no field can be retroactively
//! changed without invalidating both the hash AND the
//! signature.
//! 2. The signature implicitly commits to the *chain position*
//! via `prev_hash` — splicing a signed event into a different
//! chain breaks verification.
//!
//! ## Key management
//!
//! Out of scope for this module. The cog runtime reads the Seed's
//! Ed25519 signing key from the Cognitum control plane's secure
//! key store (separate concern). Tests use a fixed-bytes seed for
//! determinism — never check in real Seed keys here.
