2a0e14d076 chilldkg: Phase 3 - public participant API and CertEq
Add the public participant-facing ChillDKG API to
include/secp256k1_chilldkg.h and the CertEq sub-protocol, completing
the participant side of the protocol (bip-frost-dkg v0.3.0-dev,
reference pinned at a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d).

New module files:
- certeq.h / certeq_impl.h: CertEq sub-protocol. Participants sign
  pad33("BIP DKG/certeq message") || u32be(i) || eq_input with plain
  BIP0340-tagged Schnorr signatures under their host key
  (certeq_participant_step); verification is per-index against the
  x-only hostpubkeys[i][1:33] exactly as the reference
  (certeq_verify). The coordinator side reuses certeq_verify in
  Phase 4.

Public API (all no-malloc, caller-allocated buffers, outputs zeroed on
failure, secret paths cleared):
- secp256k1_chilldkg_hostpubkey_gen: plain compressed host pubkey
  generation; rejects zero / >= group order seckeys.
- secp256k1_chilldkg_params_hash: validates session params (participant
  and threshold ranges, strictly compressed non-infinity pubkeys, no
  duplicates) and computes TH("BIP DKG/params_hash", u32be(t) ||
  hostpubkeys).
- Message-length helpers so callers can size buffers:
  participant_msg1_len (33t+32n+97), coordinator_msg1_len
  (162n+33(t-1)), participant_msg2_len (64), coordinator_msg2_len
  (64n), recovery_data_len (4+33t+162n).
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_step1: full EncPedPop step1 with
  seed=deckey=hostseckey; rejects zero randomness and hostseckeys not
  matching the claimed hostpubkey (input errors, not protocol faults).
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_step2: parses and verifies cmsg1 via
  the Phase 2 encpedpop/simplpedpop participant path, computes the
  tweaked secshare/pubshares/threshold pubkey, appends enc_secshares
  to eq_input (matching the reference for recovery consistency), and
  emits the 64-byte CertEq signature.
- secp256k1_chilldkg_participant_finalize: re-verifies all n CertEq
  signatures in the certificate, then outputs the 32-byte secshare,
  33-byte threshold pubkey, n pubshares and the self-delimiting
  recovery data (eq_input || cert).

Blame reporting without exceptions: public enum
secp256k1_chilldkg_fault (OK / FAULTY_COORDINATOR /
FAULTY_PARTICIPANT / FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR /
UNKNOWN_FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR / INVALID_INPUT) plus an out
fault_index, mapping the reference's exception taxonomy:
- hostseckey invalid/mismatch -> INVALID_INPUT (HostSeckeyError),
- cmsg1 scalar overflow/parse -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR (MsgParseError),
- pubnonce/commitment/PoP faults -> FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR(i),
- share-vs-pubshare mismatch -> UNKNOWN with fault_index = UINT32_MAX,
- certificate signature failure -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR (documented
  deviation: fault_index carries the failing signature index as
  diagnostic info; the reference discards it).
Enum-returning functions use a local CHILLDKG_ARG_CHECK that fires the
illegal-argument callback and returns INVALID_INPUT (ARG_CHECK would
return 0 = OK).

Opaque state objects with magic-validated save/load (frost idiom):
participant_state1 (4306 bytes, no secrets) and participant_state2
(21073 bytes, contains the secshare; documented keep-secret/no-copy).
Fixed-size at SECP256K1_CHILLDKG_MAX_PARTICIPANTS = 128.

Also fixes a noverify-build bug: state1_load ran point_load inside
VERIFY_CHECK, which compiles out in noverify builds and left the
commitment uninitialized; now called unconditionally.

tests_impl.h: participant_api_test with full-session reference vectors
(n=3, t=2; coordinator aggregation simulated through the internal
Phase 2 coordinator step and verified byte-identical to the
reference's coordinator_step1): msglen helpers, hostpubkey_gen and
params_hash vectors incl. duplicate/invalid/infinity rejection,
byte-exact pmsg1/cmsg1/CertEq sigs/secshare/thresh_pk/pubshares/
recovery, blame cases (tampered enc_secshare -> UNKNOWN, invalid
pubnonce -> FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR(1), overflowing
enc_secshare -> FAULTY_COORDINATOR, corrupted cert sig ->
FAULTY_COORDINATOR with fault_index and zeroed outputs), NULL-arg
misuse and bad-magic state rejection.

Verified: make check 3/3 (incl. noverify); CMake ctest 363/363;
make distdir includes all new files.

580e4f6502 chilldkg: Phase 2 - SimplPedPop and EncPedPop layers
Port the two sub-protocol layers of the ChillDKG reference
implementation (bip-frost-dkg v0.3.0-dev, upstream commit
a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d) to C, keeping the same
function decomposition as simplpedpop.py / encpedpop.py so the code
stays diffable against the reference.

simplpedpop.h / simplpedpop_impl.h (mirrors simplpedpop.py):
- simplpedpop_participant_step1: VSS coefficient generation and
  commitment, per-participant shares, proof of possession. The PoP is
  a BIP-340 signature with custom tag prefix "BIP DKG/pop message"
  over u32be(participant_id), signed with the constant coefficient
  f(0), using TH("BIP DKG/simplpedpop aux", simpl_seed) as aux_rand.
- simplpedpop_coordinator_step / assemble_sum_coms: echo per-dealer
  constant-term commitments, sum non-constant-term commitments,
  collect PoPs (not verified by the coordinator, as in the reference).
- simplpedpop_participant_step2: own-commitment echo check, per-dealer
  infinity rejection and PoP verification against the x-only
  coms_to_secrets[i], TapTweak applied before share verification
  (secshare vs pubshare check on tweaked values), eq_input =
  u32be(t) || sum_coms committing to the UNTWEAKED summed commitment.

encpedpop.h / encpedpop_impl.h (mirrors encpedpop.py):
- simpl_seed / aux / secnonce derivations from (hostseckey, random,
  enc_context) via "BIP DKG/encpedpop seed", "BIP DKG/simplpedpop aux"
  and "BIP DKG/encpedpop secnonce"; pubnonce = pubkey_gen_plain(secnonce).
- encaps_multi / encrypt_multi: per-recipient pad context
  u32be(i) || enc_context, self-pad at the own index (no ECDH),
  libsecp256k1-style ECDH pad otherwise with sender-first ordering;
  encryption is additive mod n so the coordinator can sum encrypted
  shares per recipient.
- decaps_multi / decrypt_sum: receiver-side pads, invalid or infinity
  pubnonce maps to FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR(sender).
- coordinator_step: checked scalar parse of encrypted shares
  (overflow blames the sender), per-recipient summation.
- participant_step2: pubnonce echo check (mismatch ->
  FAULTY_COORDINATOR), decrypt, delegate to simplpedpop step2,
  eq_input extended with enckeys || pubnonces.

util.h: add SECP256K1_CHILLDKG_MAX_PARTICIPANTS (128, matching frost)
and the internal fault enum mirroring the reference's exception
taxonomy (FAULTY_COORDINATOR, FAULTY_PARTICIPANT,
FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR,
UNKNOWN_FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR, INVALID_INPUT). The public
blame-reporting enum arrives with the Phase 3 API.

State structs are fixed-size (no malloc, cap 128 participants). All
secret temporaries are cleared; negligible-probability secret-
dependent failures are declassified before branching.

Documented deviations where the reference crashes with non-protocol
errors: infinity sum_coms[0] in invalid_taproot_commit (unreachable
after PoP verification) and tweak-hash overflow (negligible) return
UNKNOWN_FAULTY_PARTICIPANT_OR_COORDINATOR; a wrong cmsg length maps
to FAULTY_COORDINATOR. Investigation procedures are deferred to
Phase 5 per the plan.

tests_impl.h: byte-exact n=3/t=2 happy-path vectors for both layers
generated from the Python reference (pmsg/cmsg/eq_input/enc_secshares
and all DKG outputs), plus PoP reject cases (tampered, wrong index,
infinity commitment, wrong echo, tampered non-constant-term sum),
coordinator blame (bad commitment, overflowing encrypted share),
encaps/decaps pad symmetry for all sender/receiver pairs including
self-pad, encrypt->sum->decrypt_sum roundtrip, tampered encrypted
share, invalid pubnonce blame, and input-validation rejects.

Verified: make check 3/3 suites pass (incl. noverify_tests running the
module); CMake ctest 361/361; ./tests --target=chilldkg runs all 9
module tests green.

e462f7c1ac chilldkg: Phase 1 - internal primitives (util, vss)
Add the byte-exact internal primitives for the ChillDKG module,
mirroring the Python reference implementation of the bip-frost-dkg
draft (v0.3.0-dev), pinned to upstream commit
a91896883f85b159415ecf298d5e844879af112d.

util.h / util_impl.h (mirrors chilldkg_ref/util.py):
- Point (de)serialization with explicit point-at-infinity support:
  33 zero bytes <-> infinity, otherwise SEC compressed. Checked parse
  rejects invalid encodings and out-of-range x coordinates
  (point_save/point_load, xonly_save/xonly_load).
- Internal parameterized-tag BIP-340 Schnorr sign/verify
  (chilldkg_schnorrsig_sign/_verify): tag prefix selects the
  <prefix>/aux, /nonce, /challenge subtags ("BIP DKG/pop message" for
  proofs of possession, "BIP0340" for CertEq signatures and recovery
  acks), arbitrary-length messages, pad33 zero-padding helper. The
  public schnorrsig API hardcodes BIP0340/32-byte messages, so the
  algorithm is replicated from secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign_internal with
  a custom tag; cross-checked against secp256k1_schnorrsig_sign32.
- Tagged hashes via secp256k1_sha256_initialize_tagged:
  "BIP DKG/params_hash", "BIP DKG/encpedpop seed",
  "BIP DKG/simplpedpop aux", "BIP DKG/encpedpop secnonce",
  "BIP DKG/encpedpop ecdh", "BIP DKG/encaps_multi self_pad",
  "BIP DKG/vss coeffs", and BIP-341 "TapTweak" (32-byte x-only input).
- params_hash = TH("BIP DKG/params_hash", u32be(t) || hostpubkeys)
  (note: plan had the operand order reversed; the reference hashes t
  first).
- ECDH pads: reuses the ecdh module's SHA256-of-compressed-shared-
  point hash, then TH("BIP DKG/encpedpop ecdh", ecdh ||
  sender_pubnonce || receiver_hostpubkey || context) with a sending
  flag fixing the sender|receiver order; self_pad for the own index.
  Pads are parsed wrapping (mod-n reduction); wire scalars, VSS
  coefficients and the TapTweak are parsed checked.

vss.h / vss_impl.h (mirrors chilldkg_ref/vss.py):
- vss_gen_coeffs: per-coefficient TH("BIP DKG/vss coeffs", seed ||
  u32be(j)), checked parse with bitwise error accumulation.
- vss_poly_eval (Horner) and vss_secshare_for with the x = id+1
  convention (safe at UINT32_MAX).
- vss_commit (constant-time ecmult_gen, zero coefficient -> infinity),
  vss_pubshare (powers-of-x over commitments, skips infinity),
  vss_commitment_add, vss_verify_secshare.
- vss_invalid_taproot_commit: TapTweak applied to the x-only constant
  term so the Taproot script path is unspendable; returns tweak and
  pubtweak.

tests_impl.h: 7 vector tests (tagged hashes, params_hash, point
serialization incl. infinity roundtrip and parity prefixes, checked
vs wrapping scalar parse at the group order boundary, custom-tag
schnorrsig incl. wrong-tag/key/msg rejection, ECDH pad sender/receiver
symmetry, VSS coeff derivation/Horner/commitment/pubshare/tweak) with
expected values generated once from the Python reference
(committed into the test file, reference commit recorded).

Verified: make check 3/3 suites pass; CMake ctest all pass;
./tests --target=chilldkg runs all 7 new tests green in both verify
and noverify builds.
