+# @suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto - Bit-packer-aware crypto primitives — SignedBitSchema, EncryptedBitSchema, EnvelopeSchema, HashChainSchema, MultiSignedBitSchema, SchemaFingerprint, HashAlgorithmRegistry. Authority/AeadOps/DomainTag types live in @suaveplan/types; the canonical implementations are in @suaveplan/crypto and dependency-injected by the caller.
+
+## Summary
+
+Bit-packer-aware crypto primitives. The shared interfaces (`Authority`,
+`DomainTag`, `AuthorityVerifier`, `AeadOps`) live in `@suaveplan/types`;
+the canonical implementations come from `@suaveplan/crypto` and are
+**dependency-injected** by the caller. This package has zero runtime
+dependency on `@suaveplan/crypto`, so consumers in any layer (including
+`@suaveplan/crypto` itself, e.g. `crypto::ChainBundle`) can adopt these
+primitives without inducing a circular package dependency.

+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto
+```
+
+## Public surface
+
+| Primitive | Use it for |
+|---|---|
+| `EnvelopeSchema` | `[magic][formatVersion][body]` framing — version-aware wire formats |
+| `SignedBitSchema` | Authority-signed payloads under a `DomainTag` |
+| `MultiSignedBitSchema` | N-of-N co-signed payloads with `firstBadSignerIndex` reporting |
+| `HashChainSchema` | Append-only signed hash chain (audit logs, mesh state) |
+| `EncryptedBitSchema` | **Niche** AEAD-only envelope for **small** encrypted payloads |
+| `SchemaFingerprint` | Canonical-hash a `BitPackerSchema` for handshakes |
+| `HashAlgorithmRegistry` | Pluggable hash registry — sha256/xxhash32/crc32 default; register blake3 |
+| `crc32` / `xxhash32` / `adler32` | Existing checksum surface, unchanged |
+
+## Intended scope
+
+`EncryptedBitSchema` is for **small** encrypted payloads only — token
+bodies, key-wrap envelopes, sub-MTU control records. **Do NOT use it as a
+chunked-file encoder.** For chunked-file encryption with a streaming
+verifier and locked v0x0001 codec, reach for `@suaveplan/packer` instead.
+
+## Crypto provider needs?
+
+This package ships **bit-packer-aware** crypto primitives. For raw AEAD,
+signing, key derivation, or authenticated encryption (without a bit-packer
+schema), reach for the crypto family directly:
+
+- [`@suaveplan/crypto`](../../crypto/crypto) — multi-algorithm façade (AEAD, sign,
+  agree, sealed-box, auth-box).
+- [`@suaveplan/crypto-sodium`](../../crypto/crypto-sodium) — libsodium engine.
+- [`@suaveplan/crypto-browser`](../../crypto/crypto-browser) — WebCrypto engine.
+- [`@suaveplan/crypto-vault`](../../crypto/crypto-vault) — BIP39 + Argon2id HD vault.
+- [`@suaveplan/packer`](../../data/packer) — chunked AEAD with manifest.
+
+Upstream's `bitpacker/src/crypto/` provider abstraction is **not ported**;
+see [SUPERSEDED.md](./SUPERSEDED.md) for the per-symbol replacement table.
+
+## Quick examples
+
+### Envelope a bit-packed body
+
+```ts
+import { defineEnvelopeSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+
+const headerSchema = defineBitSchema<{ foo: number }>([
+    { name: "foo", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+]);
+const env = defineEnvelopeSchema({
+    magic: new Uint8Array([0x53, 0x56, 0x43, 0x42]),
+    formatVersion: 1,
+    bodyCodec: {
+        pack: (b) => headerSchema.pack(b),
+        unpack: (bytes) => headerSchema.unpack(bytes),
+    },
+});
+const bytes = env.pack({ foo: 7 });
+```
+
+### Wiring the canonical crypto bindings
+
+Every primitive that needs a verifier or AEAD bundle accepts it via
+options. Pass the canonical wiring once in your application bootstrap:
+
+```ts
+import { aeadEncrypt, aeadDecrypt } from "@suaveplan/crypto";
+import { verifyAuthoritySignature } from "@suaveplan/crypto/authority";
+import type { AeadOps, AuthorityVerifier } from "@suaveplan/types";
+
+export const verifier: AuthorityVerifier = verifyAuthoritySignature;
+export const aead: AeadOps = { encrypt: aeadEncrypt, decrypt: aeadDecrypt };
+
+// Then everywhere you build a primitive:
+defineSignedBitSchema(codec, { domain, verifier });
+defineMultiSignedBitSchema(codec, { domain, verifier, signerCount });
+defineHashChainSchema({ domain, verifier, payloadCodec });
+defineEncryptedBitSchema(codec, { key, aead });
+```
+
+### Sign + encrypt a token
+
+```ts
+import {
+    defineEncryptedBitSchema,
+    defineSignedBitSchema,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { DOMAIN_BITPACKER_SIGNED_V1 } from "@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags";
+
+const inner = defineEncryptedBitSchema(tokenCodec, { key: aeadKey });
+const innerCodec = {
+    pack: (t) => inner.pack(t),
+    unpack: (bytes) => inner.unpack(bytes),
+};
+// (Signing receives Promise.unwrap() on the body — for the canary chain
+// pattern, prefer `defineSignedBitSchema(envCodec, ...)` directly.)
+```
+
+### Schema-fingerprint handshake
+
+```ts
+import { schemaFingerprint, assertSchemaFingerprint } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+const local = { foo: 255, bar: 65535 };
+const fp = await schemaFingerprint(local);
+// On the peer:
+await assertSchemaFingerprint(remoteSchema, fp);
+```
+
+## Algorithms (existing checksum surface, unchanged)
+
+| Algorithm | Speed | Use Case |
+|-----------|-------|----------|
+| CRC32 | Medium | General integrity checking |
+| Adler32 | Fast | Quick checksums (used in zlib) |
+| XXHash32 | Very fast | High-throughput hashing |

+# SUPERSEDED — bitpacker-crypto provider abstraction
+
+This file records two related decisions:
+
+1. **Original decision (`bitpacker-crypto-port`, 2026-05-02)** — upstream's
+   `packages/universal/bitpacker/src/crypto/` ships ~1,906 lines of provider
+   abstraction (`BaseCryptoProvider`, `CryptoRegistry`, and three adapters:
+   `noop`, `libsodium`, `elliptic`). suaveplan intentionally **does not port that abstraction**.
+2. **Replacement (`bitpacker-crypto-rewrite`, 2026-05-02)** — a deeper consumer
+   scan found 8+ call-sites across suaveplan and upstream manually re-implementing
+   the same crypto-with-bitpacker patterns (sign-then-pack, encrypt-pack-frame,
+   versioned envelopes, schema fingerprints, stateless verifiers). Rather than
+   leaving the package as checksums-only, the rewrite **adds five bit-packer-aware
+   primitives** that consolidate those inline duplications. See "What we built
+   instead" at the bottom of this file.
+
+The original rejection of upstream's abstraction still stands. The patterns
+those rejected symbols *attempted* to address are now solved by the new
+primitives, in shapes that real consumers can actually use.
+
+## Why the abstraction is not ported
+
+The upstream provider abstraction is a self-referential layer over `@suaveplan/crypto`:
+its `LibsodiumCryptoProvider` does `import from "@suaveplan/crypto"`; its
+`EllipticCryptoProvider` wraps the same primitives via the `elliptic` package; its
+`NoOpCryptoProvider` is a test harness. A grep across `/mnt/s/web/suaveplan/packages`
+on 2026-05-02 confirmed **no upstream consumer outside the bitpacker package itself**
+imports `BaseCryptoProvider`, `CryptoRegistry`, or any adapter — the abstraction was
+never wired into a production code path.
+
+suaveplan already ships every underlying primitive in five focused packages
+(`@suaveplan/crypto`, `crypto-sodium`, `crypto-browser`, `crypto-vault`, `crypto-keys`)
+plus a higher-level chunked AEAD in `@suaveplan/packer`. Adding the upstream
+abstraction would duplicate work, route around the suaveplan structured-error / OTel
+conventions, and contradict the "no duplicate libraries" directive in CLAUDE.md.
+
+## Rejected upstream surface and its suaveplan replacement
+
+| Upstream symbol | Upstream file:lines | suaveplan replacement |
+|---|---|---|
+| `BaseCryptoProvider extends EventEmitter` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:26-232` | None — call `@suaveplan/crypto` directly |
+| `generateNonce(length)` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:237-248` | `@suaveplan/crypto-utils::random.bytes(length)` |
+| `concatBytes(...arrays)` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:253-262` | `@suaveplan/crypto-utils::bytes.concat(...arrays)` |
+| `validateKeyLength(key, expected, type)` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:267-277` | Caller-side guard via `BitpackerError` (no central helper) |
+| `constantTimeEqual(a, b)` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:282-289` | `@suaveplan/crypto-utils::bytes.equalsConstantTime(a, b)` |
+| `secureWipe(buffer)` | `crypto/provider/provider.ts:294-296` | `@suaveplan/crypto-utils::bytes.zeroize(buffer)` |
+| `LibsodiumCryptoProvider` + `createXChaCha20Provider` + `createAesGcmProvider` | `crypto/adapters/libsodium/libsodium.ts:94-335` | `@suaveplan/crypto-sodium` + `@suaveplan/crypto::aead` |
+| `EllipticCryptoProvider` + `createSecp256k1Provider` + `createEd25519Provider` + `createP256Provider` | `crypto/adapters/elliptic/elliptic.ts:36-572` | `@suaveplan/crypto-curve` |
+| `NoOpCryptoProvider` + `createTestProvider` + `createSlowProvider` + `createUnreliableProvider` | `crypto/adapters/noop/noop.ts:35-335` | `@suaveplan/testing` fakes for `@suaveplan/crypto` |
+| `CryptoRegistry extends EventEmitter` + `createCryptoRegistry` + `getGlobalRegistry` | `crypto/registry/registry.ts:21-370` | None — registry was self-referential |
+
+## What `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` still ships
+
+This package is **not deprecated**. It still ships the checksum surface that the
+upstream `bitpacker/src/core/checksum/` directory provided, all under `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto`:
+
+- `crc32(data)` and `appendCrc32` / `verifyAndStripCrc32`
+- `adler32(data)`
+- `calculateXxhash32`, `packXxhash32`, `unpackXxhash32`, `appendXxhash32`,
+  `verifyXxhash32`, `verifyAndStripXxhash32`
+
+Checksums are not part of the rejected provider abstraction; this decision
+record covers only the `crypto/` directory of the upstream bitpacker source.
+
+## Encrypt-then-pack — recommended replacement pattern
+
+If you need to encrypt or sign bytes that go into a bitpacker payload, reach
+for `@suaveplan/packer` (which ships chunked AEAD already) or call
+`@suaveplan/crypto` directly. There is no provider/registry indirection .
+
+```typescript
+import { Packer } from "@suaveplan/packer";
+import { aead } from "@suaveplan/crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+
+const schema = defineBitSchema({ payload: "~" });
+const bytes = schema.pack({ payload: new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]) });
+
+// Encrypt the packed bytes:
+const ciphertext = await aead.encrypt({
+  algorithm: "xchacha20-poly1305",
+  key: myKey,
+  nonce: myNonce,
+  plaintext: bytes,
+  associatedData: new Uint8Array(),
+});
+
+// Or use @suaveplan/packer for chunked AEAD with a manifest:
+const packer = new Packer({ schema, key: myKey });
+const envelope = await packer.pack({ payload: new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]) });
+```

+
+## What we built instead — bit-packer auxiliary primitives only
+
+After the 2026-05-02 audit + the discovery that **`restore-crypto-keychain-packer`**
+already proposes a new opinionated `@suaveplan/crypto` layer with `Packer` / `Authority` /
+`AuditLog` / `RevocationList`, this package now ships only the two primitives that
+don't overlap that work:
+
+| Primitive | What it does | Consumer that drove the design |
+|---|---|---|
+| `schemaFingerprint(schema, algorithm?, registry?)` | Content-hash a `BitPackerSchema` after canonicalization (sorted keys, no whitespace, deterministic encoding). Algorithm name resolved via `HashAlgorithmRegistry`. Companion `assertSchemaFingerprint` for "do we agree on the schema?" handshakes. | `@suaveplan/network-registry::Xxhash32HashProvider`/`Crc32HashProvider` (upstream port); planned mesh schema-agreement handshake (`docs/network/security-and-tokens.md`, `docs/network/architecture.md`). |
+| `HashAlgorithmRegistry` | Pluggable hash-algorithm registry. Defaults: `xxhash32`, `crc32`, `sha256`. Consumers register their own (`blake3` for drive whole-file hash, future PQC). User directive on extensibility/plugins/middleware made this a first-class surface. | `docs/drive/encryption.md` L79 (BLAKE3 whole-file hash); user directive (extensibility/plugins). |
+
+Plus the existing checksum surface (`crc32`, `adler32`, `xxhash32` and their
+`appendCrc32`/`verifyAndStripCrc32`/`appendXxhash32`/etc. helpers) is preserved unchanged.
+
+## What lives in `@suaveplan/crypto` instead (via `restore-crypto-keychain-packer`)
+
+The patterns my first-draft rewrite proposed are now correctly placed in the new
+opinionated `@suaveplan/crypto` layer, where they compose with `Authority` + `Keychain` +
+the closed-list `DomainTag` registry:
+
+| First-draft primitive (dropped here) | Owned by `@suaveplan/crypto` (via `restore-crypto-keychain-packer`) |
+|---|---|
+| `SignedBitSchema` (Authority + DomainTag) | `Packer` (encrypt-and-sign envelope under DomainTag via Authority) + direct `Authority.sign(domain, slot, payload)` for sign-only |
+| `EnvelopeSchema(magic, version, body)` | `packPublicBundle` shape + `Packer` envelope |
+| `HashChainSchema` (Merkle-chained signed log) | `AuditLog` (Merkle log + `proveInclusion` / `verifyInclusion`) |
+| `MultiSignedBitSchema` (N-of-N co-sign) | If/when `MeshTrustToken` (NET-110) needs it, the spec delta lands in `@suaveplan/crypto` next to `Packer` and `RevocationList` (not here — co-signing belongs in the `Authority`-using crypto layer) |
+| `EncryptedBitSchema` (niche AEAD) | `Packer` (covers small-payload encrypt-and-sign exactly) |
+| New domain tags (`DOMAIN_BITPACKER_*_V1`) | `DomainTag` is a closed list owned by `@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags` — additions are wire-format extensions in that package, not in `bitpacker-crypto` |
+
+### What was dropped (chronological)
+
+| Dropped | Why |
+|---|---|
+| `ChunkVerifier` (first audit pass) | `@suaveplan/packer::ChunkVerifier` already covers the locked v0x0001 chunk format. |
+| `SignedBitSchema` taking raw `signKey` (audit-revision) | suaveplan canonical signing surface is `Authority.sign(domain, slot, payload)`. Raw-key API didn't serve real consumers. |
+| `EnvelopeSchema` with opaque body (audit-revision) | Real consumers (`PublicBundle`, `ChainBundle`) have structured body fields. |
+| `DomainTagRegistry` open registry (audit-revision) | Conflicts with suaveplan's intentional closed-list `DomainTag` design. |
+| `SignatureAlgorithmRegistry` (audit-revision) | `Authority` already dispatches on slot algorithm. |
+| `SignedBitSchema` / `EnvelopeSchema` / `HashChainSchema` / `MultiSignedBitSchema` / `EncryptedBitSchema` (slim revision) | All overlap with `restore-crypto-keychain-packer`'s `Packer` / `AuditLog` / `RevocationList`. suaveplan policy explicitly forbids duplicate libraries. |
+| New `DOMAIN_BITPACKER_*_V1` constants (slim revision) | Closed-list domain tags belong in `@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags`, not here. |
+
+The two surviving primitives (`SchemaFingerprint`, `HashAlgorithmRegistry`) are pure
+bit-packer utilities that compose with `restore-crypto-keychain-packer` without conflict.

+# CRC32 + Adler32 Checksums
+
+## Purpose
+
+Fast non-cryptographic checksums for bit-packed payloads. `crc32` implements the IEEE-802.3 / zlib polynomial (`0xedb88320`); `adler32` implements the RFC 1950 algorithm. Both are designed to detect accidental corruption (single-bit flips, wire-level errors, dropped bytes), not adversarial tampering — for cryptographic integrity, use the AEAD or signed-bitschema primitives in `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto`'s `encrypted/` and `signed/` modules.
+
+The four wrappers (`appendCrc32`, `verifyAndStripCrc32`, `appendAdler32`, `verifyAndStripAdler32`) bookend a payload with a 4-byte big-endian checksum so framed bitpacker output can be transmitted over a noisy channel and integrity-checked at the receiving end. The wrappers throw on truncated input or checksum mismatch; the bare `crc32` / `adler32` functions return the raw 32-bit value for callers that want to integrate the check elsewhere.
+
+## Features
+
+- `crc32(data)` — IEEE-802.3 / zlib polynomial CRC32 with a precomputed 256-entry table
+- `adler32(data)` — RFC 1950 Adler32 with the standard `MOD_ADLER = 65521` prime
+- `appendCrc32` / `appendAdler32` — append 4-byte big-endian checksum
+- `verifyAndStripCrc32` / `verifyAndStripAdler32` — verify and strip 4-byte checksum, throwing on mismatch or short input
+- Pure JS, no dependencies, deterministic output, browser- and Node-safe
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { crc32, appendCrc32, verifyAndStripCrc32 } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+const payload = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3, 4]);
+const checksum = crc32(payload);            // 0xb63cfbcd
+const framed = appendCrc32(payload);        // 8 bytes: payload + 4-byte CRC
+const restored = verifyAndStripCrc32(framed); // -> [1, 2, 3, 4]
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    appendCrc32,
+    verifyAndStripCrc32,
+    appendAdler32,
+    verifyAndStripAdler32,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+// Frame a bit-packed payload, transmit, and validate on receive.
+function transmit(payload: Uint8Array): Uint8Array {
+    return appendCrc32(payload);
+}
+
+function receive(framed: Uint8Array): Uint8Array {
+    try {
+        return verifyAndStripCrc32(framed);
+    } catch (err) {
+        // Caller decides: retransmit, drop, or escalate to a higher-level
+        // integrity check (signed-bitschema for adversarial channels).
+        throw err;
+    }
+}
+
+// Adler32 is faster but weaker; pick it for short payloads on trusted channels.
+const cheap = appendAdler32(new Uint8Array([0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef]));
+const back = verifyAndStripAdler32(cheap);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `crc32(data: Uint8Array): number`
+
+Returns the 32-bit unsigned CRC32 value of `data` using the IEEE-802.3 / zlib polynomial (`0xedb88320`). Uses a precomputed 256-entry table for one-byte-per-iteration throughput.
+
+### `adler32(data: Uint8Array): number`
+
+Returns the 32-bit unsigned Adler32 value of `data` per RFC 1950 (`a` and `b` accumulators with `MOD_ADLER = 65521`).
+
+### `appendCrc32(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
+
+Returns a new array containing `data` followed by 4 big-endian bytes of `crc32(data)`.
+
+### `verifyAndStripCrc32(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
+
+Returns the leading `data.length - 4` bytes if the trailing 4 bytes match `crc32(payload)`. Throws `Error` with `"Data too short for CRC32 verification"` if `data.length < 4`, or `"CRC32 mismatch: expected X, got Y"` on mismatch.
+
+### `appendAdler32(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
+
+Returns a new array containing `data` followed by 4 big-endian bytes of `adler32(data)`.
+
+### `verifyAndStripAdler32(data: Uint8Array): Uint8Array`
+
+Mirrors `verifyAndStripCrc32` for Adler32. Same error semantics.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- **CRC32 polynomial = `0xedb88320`.** This is the bit-reversed form of the standard IEEE-802.3 polynomial (`0x04c11db7`). The reversal is encoded in the table-precomputation loop (`c & 1 ? POLY ^ (c >>> 1) : c >>> 1`) so the streaming inner loop processes least-significant bits first, matching zlib / gzip / PNG.
+- **Big-endian checksum framing.** Both append wrappers write the 32-bit checksum as big-endian bytes, matching network byte order. The `verifyAndStrip` counterparts read with `getUint32(offset, false)` (false = big-endian).
+- **Not cryptographically secure.** A motivated attacker can construct collisions for both CRC32 and Adler32 in O(1). Use these for accidental-corruption detection only; use AEAD or signature primitives elsewhere in `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` for adversarial integrity.
+- **No allocation in the hot path.** `crc32` / `adler32` only allocate via the precomputed `CRC32_TABLE`. `appendCrc32` / `appendAdler32` allocate one output buffer; `verifyAndStripCrc32` / `verifyAndStripAdler32` allocate via `slice` for the returned payload.

+# EncryptedBitSchema
+
+Niche AEAD-encrypted envelope around a bit-packed body. Wire format:
+`[version u8][algTag u8][nonceLen u8][nonce][ciphertext+tag]`.
+**Intended scope: small encrypted payloads only.** Token bodies,
+key-wrap envelopes inside `MessageEnvelope`, sub-MTU control messages.
+**NOT a chunked-file encoder** — `@suaveplan/packer` owns chunked-file
+encryption with its locked v0x0001 codec.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Several suaveplan surfaces need a small, self-describing AEAD-encrypted
+envelope: a token body wrapped for transport, an inner
+key-wrap inside a higher-level message envelope, an opaque control
+record signed-then-encrypted by upstream layers. Re-implementing the
+"version + algTag + nonce + ciphertext" frame each time invites
+nonce-reuse mistakes and silent algorithm drift.
+
+`EncryptedBitSchema` standardises the frame, picks safe defaults
+(XChaCha20-Poly1305 with 24-byte random nonce, 32-byte key, no
+`Math.random` fallback), and refuses to be misused as a chunked-file
+encoder by being explicit in this README and the schema name.
+
+## Features
+
+- Three AEAD algorithms supported: `AES-256-GCM`, `ChaCha20-Poly1305`,
+  `XChaCha20-Poly1305` (default — its 24-byte random nonce avoids
+  nonce-collision concerns even at high message volume)
+- Stable u8 algorithm tags (0/1/2) on the wire so an envelope encoded
+  under one algorithm can be detected (and rejected) by a schema
+  expecting another
+- Pluggable `Rng`; default uses `globalThis.crypto.getRandomValues` and
+  throws `CRYPTO_RNG_UNAVAILABLE` if Web Crypto is missing — never
+  silently falls back to `Math.random`
+- Optional `aad` (additional authenticated data) — held by reference;
+  participates in the integrity tag so binding the envelope to a
+  surrounding context (session id, conversation id) is one option away
+- Wire-format constants: `version=1`, no tag changes once allocated.
+  Adding a new algorithm only appends to the tag table.
+- Tampered ciphertext rejects with `CRYPTO_DECRYPT_FAILED`
+- Wrong-algorithm envelope rejects with `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_VERSION_MISMATCH`
+- Wrong-key decrypt rejects with `CRYPTO_DECRYPT_FAILED`
+- OTel spans `bitpacker-crypto.encrypted-pack` /
+  `bitpacker-crypto.encrypted-unpack`
+
+## Intended scope
+
+This primitive is for **small** payloads. The wire format prepends a 3-byte
+header + the full nonce + the AEAD output (ciphertext + 16-byte tag). For
+a 100-byte body, that's ~143 bytes total — fine. For a 50 MB chunked file,
+this is the wrong shape: you want chunked encryption with a streaming
+verifier, which is what `@suaveplan/packer::ChunkedPacker` provides.
+
+If you find yourself reaching for `EncryptedBitSchema` to wrap large
+payloads, stop and use `@suaveplan/packer` instead. This warning is also
+asserted by a spec-conformance test.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { defineEncryptedBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+import { aeadEncrypt, aeadDecrypt } from "@suaveplan/crypto";
+
+interface Token { userId: number; expiry: number }
+const tokenSchema = defineBitSchema<Token>([
+    { name: "userId", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+    { name: "expiry", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+]);
+
+const encryptedToken = defineEncryptedBitSchema<Token>(
+    {
+        pack: (t) => tokenSchema.pack(t),
+        unpack: (bytes) => tokenSchema.unpack(bytes),
+    },
+    {
+        key: aeadKey,
+        aead: { encrypt: aeadEncrypt, decrypt: aeadDecrypt },
+    }
+);
+
+const wrapped = await encryptedToken.pack({ userId: 7, expiry: 1700000000 });
+const original = await encryptedToken.unpack(wrapped);
+```
+
+The `aead` option is required and accepts an `AeadOps` bundle
+(`{ encrypt, decrypt }`). The canonical implementation is the
+`aeadEncrypt` / `aeadDecrypt` functions from `@suaveplan/crypto`. Passing
+them via DI keeps `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` free of any runtime
+dependency on `@suaveplan/crypto`. The `AEAD_KEY_LENGTH`,
+`AEAD_NONCE_LENGTH`, and `AEAD_XCHACHA_NONCE_LENGTH` constants are
+declared locally in this primitive (not imported from
+`@suaveplan/crypto`); duplication is acceptable because these values
+are part of the bit-packer-crypto wire format.
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — bind to a session id via AAD
+
+```ts
+const sessionId = new TextEncoder().encode("session:abc123");
+const encrypted = defineEncryptedBitSchema<Token>(codec, {
+    key,
+    aad: sessionId,
+});
+// Only an unpack with the SAME aad will succeed; replays into a different
+// session will reject with CRYPTO_DECRYPT_FAILED.
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface EncryptedBitSchemaOptions`
+
+- `key: Uint8Array` — exactly 32 bytes (`AEAD_KEY_LENGTH`)
+- `aead: AeadOps` (required) — AEAD operations bundle; typically
+  `{ encrypt: aeadEncrypt, decrypt: aeadDecrypt }` from
+  `@suaveplan/crypto`
+- `algorithm?: AeadAlgorithm = "XChaCha20-Poly1305"`
+- `rng?: Rng` — defaults to a `globalThis.crypto.getRandomValues`-backed Rng
+- `aad?: Uint8Array` — optional additional authenticated data
+
+### `defineEncryptedBitSchema<TBody>(bodyCodec, options): EncryptedBitSchema<TBody>`
+
+Returns:
+
+- `pack(data: TBody): Promise<Uint8Array>`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_ENCRYPT_FAILED` on AEAD failure (very rare — usually a
+    misbehaving Rng or wrong key length)
+  - throws `CRYPTO_RNG_UNAVAILABLE` on first call if Web Crypto is missing
+    and no Rng was supplied
+- `unpack(bytes: Uint8Array): Promise<TBody>`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_DECRYPT_FAILED` on tag mismatch / wrong key / too-short
+    input
+  - throws `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_VERSION_MISMATCH` on wire-format/algorithm
+    mismatch
+- `algorithm`, `version`, `nonceLength` (read-only)
+
+### Algorithm tags (wire format)
+
+```text
+0  AES-256-GCM            (12-byte nonce)
+1  ChaCha20-Poly1305      (12-byte nonce)
+2  XChaCha20-Poly1305     (24-byte nonce, default)
+```
+
+These numbers are wire-format and never renumbered. New algorithms append
+to the table.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- Nonces are caller-Rng-driven, never derived from message contents. The
+  default Rng wraps `crypto.getRandomValues` directly. Tests use a
+  seeded mulberry32 Rng to assert reproducibility — production deployments
+  must use a CSPRNG.
+- AEAD failures are wrapped with `BitpackerError` so consumers don't need
+  to import the underlying `@suaveplan/crypto` `CryptoError` to handle
+  decrypt failures uniformly with the other bit-packer-crypto primitives.
+- The 3-byte header is intentionally minimal — version + alg + nonceLen
+  is enough to dispatch a future algorithm without breaking older
+  payloads. The `nonceLen` byte is technically derivable from the
+  `algTag`, but storing it explicitly makes the parser simpler and
+  catches an algorithm/nonce mismatch as a wire-format error instead of
+  a more confusing AEAD failure.
+- The body codec runs on the _plaintext_ — `pack` calls `bodyCodec.pack`
+  before encrypting, `unpack` calls `bodyCodec.unpack` after decrypting.
+  This means the body codec sees full plaintext and must be trusted not
+  to leak side-channels.
+- AEAD encrypt/decrypt are imported directly from `@suaveplan/crypto`'s
+  main barrel; no engine override is exposed. If you need an engine
+  override (e.g. for a hardware-accelerated AEAD), build a custom Rng
+  wrapper or use `@suaveplan/crypto`'s engine-pluggable API directly
+  outside this primitive.

+# EnvelopeSchema
+
+A typed, version-aware envelope schema for bit-packed payloads. Wraps a
+caller-supplied `BodyCodec` with a `[magic][formatVersion][body]` frame so the
+wire format is self-describing on the magic + version dimensions, while the
+body remains pluggable. Replaces the manual
+`defineBitSchema([{magic}, {formatVersion}, ...])` pattern that suaveplan
+crypto, packer, and other consumers had been re-authoring.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Many suaveplan wire formats begin with a magic number + format version: chain
+bundles (`SVCB`), public bundles, the chunked packer, and several network
+encoders all do the same thing manually. The duplication isn't just code
+churn — every callsite is a place where the magic/version contract can drift
+out of sync with its parser. `EnvelopeSchema` consolidates the pattern and
+makes "this byte string belongs to schema X version Y" a first-class
+runtime check.
+
+The body region is opaque to the envelope itself; encoding is delegated to a
+`BodyCodec<TBody>` (`pack` + `unpack`). The bundled `rawBytesCodec()` is
+provided for callers whose bodies are already-encoded bytes (typical when
+composing with `SignedBitSchema` or `EncryptedBitSchema`); for structured
+bodies, callers pass a codec built from the legacy `defineBitSchema(...)`
+or from any encoder satisfying the two-method contract.
+
+## Features
+
+- `pack(body)` produces `[magic][formatVersion][bodyCodec.pack(body)]`
+- `parse(bytes)` extracts magic + version + raw body bytes WITHOUT decoding
+  the body — enabling forward-compat dispatch when a future version arrives
+- `parseStrict(bytes)` validates magic + version, then decodes the body to
+  `TBody` via `bodyCodec.unpack`
+- Mismatched magic throws `BitpackerError` with code
+  `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_MAGIC_MISMATCH` and `context.{expected,actual}`
+- Mismatched version throws `BitpackerError` with code
+  `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_VERSION_MISMATCH` and `context.{expected,actual}`
+- Zod-validated options at construction; unknown keys rejected
+- OTel spans `bitpacker-crypto.envelope-pack` and
+  `bitpacker-crypto.envelope-parse` carry `bitpacker.crypto.payload_bytes`
+- Stays codec-agnostic so a future Protobuf-bodied envelope or a
+  schema-fingerprinted variant requires zero changes to envelope itself
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    type BodyCodec,
+    defineEnvelopeSchema,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+
+interface Header {
+    foo: number;
+    bar: number;
+}
+
+const headerSchema = defineBitSchema<Header>([
+    { name: "foo", type: "uint", bits: 8 },
+    { name: "bar", type: "uint", bits: 16 },
+]);
+
+const codec: BodyCodec<Header> = {
+    pack: (body) => headerSchema.pack(body),
+    unpack: (bytes) => headerSchema.unpack(bytes),
+};
+
+const envelope = defineEnvelopeSchema<Header>({
+    magic: new Uint8Array([0x53, 0x56, 0x43, 0x42]), // "SVCB"
+    formatVersion: 1,
+    bodyCodec: codec,
+});
+
+const bytes = envelope.pack({ foo: 7, bar: 1234 });
+const { foo, bar } = envelope.parseStrict(bytes); // typed: Header
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — forward-compat dispatch
+
+Use `parse` to peek at magic + version before deciding which decoder to run,
+so a v1 reader can detect v2 envelopes and route accordingly:
+
+```ts
+import { defineEnvelopeSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+const envV1 = defineEnvelopeSchema({ magic, formatVersion: 1, bodyCodec: codecV1 });
+const envV2 = defineEnvelopeSchema({ magic, formatVersion: 2, bodyCodec: codecV2 });
+
+function decode(bytes: Uint8Array) {
+    const partial = envV1.parse(bytes);
+    if (partial.formatVersion === 1) return envV1.parseStrict(bytes);
+    if (partial.formatVersion === 2) return envV2.parseStrict(bytes);
+    throw new Error(`Unsupported envelope version: ${partial.formatVersion}`);
+}
+```
+
+The body bytes are not consumed by `parse`, so the same input can be passed
+back to `parseStrict` of the matching version without re-allocation cost on
+the magic+version prefix.
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface BodyCodec<TBody>`
+
+- `pack(body: TBody): Uint8Array` — encode the body
+- `unpack(bytes: Uint8Array): TBody` — decode the body
+
+### `interface EnvelopeSchemaOptions<TBody>`
+
+- `magic: Uint8Array` — non-empty
+- `formatVersion: number` — integer 0..255
+- `bodyCodec: BodyCodec<TBody>` — body encoding hook
+
+### `defineEnvelopeSchema<TBody>(options): EnvelopeSchema<TBody>`
+
+Returns:
+
+- `magic: Uint8Array`
+- `formatVersion: number`
+- `pack(body: TBody): Uint8Array`
+- `parse(bytes: Uint8Array): { magic, formatVersion, bodyBytes }`
+- `parseStrict(bytes: Uint8Array): TBody`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_MAGIC_MISMATCH` on magic mismatch
+  - throws `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_VERSION_MISMATCH` on version mismatch
+
+### `rawBytesCodec(): BodyCodec<Uint8Array>`
+
+Pass-through codec for bodies that are already-encoded raw bytes — useful
+when composing with `SignedBitSchema` or `EncryptedBitSchema` whose `pack`
+output goes inside an envelope.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The envelope wire format is `[magic_bytes][1-byte u8 formatVersion][body_bytes]`. The body is NOT framed with a length prefix — the codec is expected to either be fixed-size or to consume the entire trailing buffer.
+- `parse` throws `CRYPTO_ENVELOPE_MAGIC_MISMATCH` when input is shorter than `magic.length + 1` (the minimum header size). Magic and version validation in `parseStrict` happens against the parsed values, so a too-short input is caught at the parse stage.
+- Magic comparison is constant-time-irrelevant — magic bytes are not secret. Equality is byte-wise. The error context includes hex-encoded `expected` and `actual` for diagnosability.
+- The codec is held by reference; mutating the codec after `defineEnvelopeSchema(...)` returns will affect future `pack`/`parseStrict` calls. Callers should treat the codec as immutable in practice.
+- OTel spans are emitted unconditionally (even when no SDK is wired) because they cost essentially nothing under the no-op tracer; production traces materialise once a tracer provider is installed.

+# SchemaFingerprint
+
+Content-hash a `BitPackerSchema` so two parties can agree they're using
+byte-identical schemas before they exchange payloads. The fingerprint is
+computed over a canonical serialisation (sorted keys, no whitespace,
+deterministic encoding), and the hash algorithm is pluggable via
+`HashAlgorithmRegistry`.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Whenever a producer and consumer of bit-packed bytes are not co-located —
+mesh peers, drive replicas, network plugins, or two services that pinned
+their schemas independently — they need a way to confirm "we're talking
+the same shape" before risking a parse error on a half-mismatched schema.
+A schema fingerprint compresses that question to a fixed-size digest that
+can be compared in a handshake.
+
+The fingerprint must be _order-insensitive_: a producer that declared
+fields in declaration order `(foo, bar)` and a consumer that declared them
+in the order `(bar, foo)` should fingerprint identically, because the wire
+format itself is order-independent at the bit-packer level (object keys
+participate, but their declaration order does not). Achieving that
+requires canonical-serialisation, which this module owns.
+
+## Features
+
+- Default algorithm: `sha256` (32 bytes, cryptographically strong)
+- Built-in alternatives: `xxhash32` (4 bytes, fast non-crypto), `crc32`
+  (4 bytes, fast non-crypto)
+- Pluggable: register `blake3` (or any custom hash) via
+  `HashAlgorithmRegistry` and pass it as `registry` argument
+- `assertSchemaFingerprint(schema, expected, ...)` is the single-call
+  handshake check; throws `CRYPTO_SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT_MISMATCH` with a
+  context that includes hex `expected` and `actual` for diagnosability
+- Unknown algorithm name throws `CRYPTO_HASH_ALGORITHM_UNKNOWN`
+- Functions inside the schema (e.g. `ConditionalSchema._if`) are rejected;
+  v1 fingerprintable schemas are data-shape only
+- Constant-time digest comparison in `assertSchemaFingerprint` (so timing
+  side channels can't leak partial-match information)
+- OTel span `bitpacker-crypto.fingerprint` with algorithm + payload_bytes
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import {
+    assertSchemaFingerprint,
+    schemaFingerprint,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+const schema = { foo: 255, bar: 65535 };
+const fp = await schemaFingerprint(schema); // sha256 by default
+
+// On the other side of a handshake, validate the schemas match:
+await assertSchemaFingerprint(localSchema, fp);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — registry-backed BLAKE3
+
+```ts
+import {
+    type HashAlgorithm,
+    createHashRegistry,
+    schemaFingerprint,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { blake3 as nobleBlake3 } from "@noble/hashes/blake3";
+
+const blake3: HashAlgorithm = {
+    name: "blake3",
+    outputBytes: 32,
+    hash: (data) => Promise.resolve(nobleBlake3(data)),
+};
+
+const registry = createHashRegistry();
+registry.register(blake3);
+
+const fp = await schemaFingerprint(schema, "blake3", registry);
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `schemaFingerprint(schema, algorithm?, registry?): Promise<Uint8Array>`
+
+- `schema: BitPackerSchema` — the schema to hash. Functions and
+  non-finite numbers are rejected.
+- `algorithm: string = "sha256"` — name of a registered algorithm
+- `registry: HashAlgorithmRegistry = defaultHashRegistry()` —
+  optional override
+- **Throws** `CRYPTO_HASH_ALGORITHM_UNKNOWN` if the algorithm isn't
+  registered; `CRYPTO_SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT_MISMATCH` if the schema contains
+  unsupported value types (functions, NaN, Infinity).
+
+### `assertSchemaFingerprint(schema, expected, algorithm?, registry?): Promise<void>`
+
+- Computes the fingerprint and compares it byte-wise (constant-time) to
+  `expected`. Throws `CRYPTO_SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT_MISMATCH` on disagreement,
+  with `context.expected` and `context.actual` hex-encoded for
+  diagnosability.
+
+### `canonicalize(schema): string`
+
+Exposed for testing the canonical-serialisation invariant directly.
+Returns the JSON-like canonical string (sorted keys, no whitespace).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The canonicalizer is recursive and supports: `null`, `undefined` (treated
+  as `null`), `number` (must be finite), `boolean`, `string`, `bigint`
+  (suffixed with `n`), `object` (keys sorted lexicographically), `array`
+  (order preserved). All other types throw `CRYPTO_SCHEMA_FINGERPRINT_MISMATCH`.
+- `bigint` values are serialised as `123n` (with the `n` suffix) to keep
+  them distinguishable from numbers in the canonical form. JSON does not
+  natively support bigint, so this is a deliberate extension.
+- Constant-time comparison in `assertSchemaFingerprint` matters even though
+  fingerprints are not secret — the operation is cheap, and using a
+  constant-time check avoids becoming a habit-of-non-constant-time-compare
+  at higher layers.
+- The OTel span carries `bitpacker.crypto.algorithm` and
+  `bitpacker.crypto.payload_bytes` so a deployment can observe schema
+  agreement frequency and the size of canonicalised schemas.
+- Function-bearing schemas (`ConditionalSchema`, `VersionSchema`) are out
+  of scope for v1 fingerprinting because there is no canonical way to hash
+  a function. A future version can add a side-channel (e.g. a stable name
+  registry mapping function identity → string) if a real consumer needs it.

+# HashAlgorithmRegistry
+
+A pluggable registry of named hash algorithms used by every hashing-aware
+primitive in `@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` (notably `SchemaFingerprint` and
+`HashChainSchema`). Ships with three defaults out of the box: `sha256` (32
+bytes, Web Crypto), `xxhash32` (4 bytes, in-tree), and `crc32` (4 bytes,
+in-tree). Consumers register additional algorithms — e.g. `blake3` — via
+`register`. Last-write-wins replacement is permitted and emits an OpenTelemetry
+span so swap-ins are observable.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+The crypto stack avoids hard-coding a single hash function inside every
+primitive that needs one. Instead, hashing is a first-class extension point:
+primitives accept an optional `algorithm` name and an optional registry, and
+the registry resolves the name to a concrete `HashAlgorithm`. This lets a
+deployment swap in a faster sha256 (e.g. native node:crypto) or register an
+entirely new algorithm without forking the primitive.
+
+The registry shape is intentionally tiny — `register`, `resolve`, `has`,
+`list` — because the surface area is also a maintenance surface area. There is
+no `unregister`: defaults are guaranteed present on every fresh registry, and
+test isolation is achieved by calling `createHashRegistry()` to get a private
+instance instead of mutating the singleton.
+
+## Features
+
+- Three defaults bundled: `sha256` (Web Crypto async), `xxhash32` (in-tree
+  sync), `crc32` (in-tree sync, big-endian 4-byte digest)
+- Uniform async `hash(data) → Promise<Uint8Array>` interface across sync and
+  async backends
+- `register` is last-write-wins; replacing an existing algorithm emits a
+  `bitpacker-crypto.hash-registry.replaced` OTel span carrying the previous
+  and new `outputBytes` attributes
+- Process-wide singleton via `defaultHashRegistry()`; isolated registries via
+  `createHashRegistry()`
+- Unknown algorithm name throws `BitpackerError` with code
+  `CRYPTO_HASH_ALGORITHM_UNKNOWN` and `context.algorithm` for diagnosability
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { defaultHashRegistry } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+
+const sha256 = defaultHashRegistry().resolve("sha256");
+const digest = await sha256.hash(new TextEncoder().encode("hello"));
+console.log(digest.length); // 32
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — registering BLAKE3
+
+```ts
+import {
+    type HashAlgorithm,
+    createHashRegistry,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { blake3 as nobleBlake3 } from "@noble/hashes/blake3";
+
+const blake3: HashAlgorithm = {
+    name: "blake3",
+    outputBytes: 32,
+    hash: (data) => Promise.resolve(nobleBlake3(data)),
+};
+
+// Build an isolated registry so we don't pollute the singleton.
+const registry = createHashRegistry();
+registry.register(blake3);
+
+// Use with SchemaFingerprint / HashChainSchema:
+//   schemaFingerprint(schema, "blake3", registry)
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface HashAlgorithm`
+
+- `name: string` — stable identifier used for registry lookup and wire-format
+  tagging
+- `outputBytes: number` — exact digest length
+- `hash(data: Uint8Array): Promise<Uint8Array>` — compute the digest;
+  resolves to exactly `outputBytes` bytes
+
+### `interface HashAlgorithmRegistry`
+
+- `register(algorithm: HashAlgorithm): void` — last-write-wins; emits
+  `bitpacker-crypto.hash-registry.replaced` span when overwriting
+- `resolve(name: string): HashAlgorithm` — throws `CRYPTO_HASH_ALGORITHM_UNKNOWN`
+  on miss
+- `has(name: string): boolean`
+- `list(): readonly string[]` — names in stable sort order
+
+### `createHashRegistry(): HashAlgorithmRegistry`
+
+Fresh registry pre-populated with the defaults. Independent of the singleton;
+mutations stay local.
+
+### `defaultHashRegistry(): HashAlgorithmRegistry`
+
+Process-wide singleton. Lazily constructed on first call. Subsequent calls
+return the same instance.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The interface is asynchronous because `sha256` is implemented over Web
+  Crypto's `crypto.subtle.digest`, which returns a Promise. Synchronous
+  algorithms wrap their result with `Promise.resolve` for uniformity.
+- `crc32` digests are emitted big-endian (most-significant byte first) so the
+  byte order matches the algorithm's natural representation; `xxhash32`
+  digests are emitted little-endian to match the bit-packed checksums already
+  produced by `appendXxhash32`.
+- Replacement intentionally does not throw. The OTel `replaced` span is the
+  observability hook for swap-ins; tests asserting registry hygiene should
+  monitor the span stream rather than rely on exception flow.
+- `unregister` is intentionally absent. If you need a clean slate, build a
+  fresh registry with `createHashRegistry()` and use that one.

+# HashChainSchema
+
+Append-only signed hash chain. Each entry carries a sequence number, the
+hash of the previous entry, an opaque payload, and a host signature over
+the bit-packed `(seq, prevHash, payload)` triplet. Tampering anywhere in
+the chain is detected at the first bad index by `verifyChain`.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Audit logs, replicated mesh state, and any "I cannot edit history,
+only append to it" scenario need a chain shape: each new entry binds to
+the previous via a hash, and the host signs the binding so a third party
+can verify the chain wasn't forged. suaveplan has the building blocks —
+`Authority`, `DomainTag`, `HashAlgorithmRegistry`, `BodyCodec` — but no
+primitive that composes them into a chain. `HashChainSchema` is that
+primitive.
+
+The signing input is `(seq, prevHash, payload)`, NOT just `payload`. This
+is load-bearing: a signature on a payload alone could be lifted into a
+different position in the chain (different seq) or grafted onto a different
+prev-link without invalidating the signature. By binding seq + prev-hash
+into the signed bytes, the signature is non-portable across positions.
+
+## Features
+
+- `appendEntry(seq, prevHash, payload, authority)` — sign the triplet,
+  return a complete `HashChainEntry`
+- `verifyEntry(entry, expectedPrevHash, hostPublicSlot)` — boolean
+  result, never throws on bad signature (callers may probe candidate
+  parents)
+- `verifyChain(entries, hostPublicSlot)` — walks the chain in order;
+  returns `{valid: false, firstBadIndex}` on the first failure
+- `packEntry(entry)` / `unpackEntry(bytes)` — wire-format codec for
+  storage / network transport
+- `hashEntry(entry)` — compute the entry's digest, used as the next
+  entry's `prevHash`
+- Pluggable hash algorithm via `HashAlgorithmRegistry` (default
+  `sha256` 32 bytes)
+- Strict prev-hash length check at append time (must match algorithm's
+  `outputBytes`) — catches schema/algorithm mismatches before they
+  reach the wire
+- AbortSignal threaded through `Authority.sign`
+- OTel spans `bitpacker-crypto.hashchain-append` and
+  `bitpacker-crypto.hashchain-verify`
+
+## Wire Format
+
+```text
+┌────────────┬────────────────────┬──────────────────────┬──────────────────┐
+│  seq u64BE │  prevHash N bytes  │  payload bit-packed  │  signature 64 B  │
+└────────────┴────────────────────┴──────────────────────┴──────────────────┘
+```
+
+`N` is the chosen hash algorithm's `outputBytes` (32 for sha256). The
+signature is 64 bytes (ed25519); other lengths are configurable via
+`signatureLength`.
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { defineHashChainSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+import { DOMAIN_BITPACKER_HASHCHAIN_V1 } from "@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags";
+import { verifyAuthoritySignature } from "@suaveplan/crypto/authority";
+
+interface AuditPayload { actorId: number; eventCode: number }
+const auditSchema = defineBitSchema<AuditPayload>([
+    { name: "actorId", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+    { name: "eventCode", type: "uint", bits: 16 },
+]);
+
+const audit = defineHashChainSchema<AuditPayload>({
+    domain: DOMAIN_BITPACKER_HASHCHAIN_V1,
+    verifier: verifyAuthoritySignature,
+    payloadCodec: {
+        pack: (b) => auditSchema.pack(b),
+        unpack: (bytes) => auditSchema.unpack(bytes),
+    },
+});
+
+let prevHash = new Uint8Array(audit.hashLength); // suaveplan sentinel
+const e0 = await audit.appendEntry(0n, prevHash, { actorId: 1, eventCode: 100 }, auth);
+prevHash = await audit.hashEntry(e0);
+const e1 = await audit.appendEntry(1n, prevHash, { actorId: 1, eventCode: 200 }, auth);
+
+const result = await audit.verifyChain([e0, e1], hostPublicSlot);
+// → { valid: true }
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — BLAKE3-backed chain
+
+```ts
+import {
+    type HashAlgorithm,
+    createHashRegistry,
+    defineHashChainSchema,
+} from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { blake3 as nobleBlake3 } from "@noble/hashes/blake3";
+
+const registry = createHashRegistry();
+registry.register({
+    name: "blake3",
+    outputBytes: 32,
+    hash: (data) => Promise.resolve(nobleBlake3(data)),
+});
+
+const chain = defineHashChainSchema({
+    domain: DOMAIN_BITPACKER_HASHCHAIN_V1,
+    payloadCodec,
+    hashAlgorithm: "blake3",
+    hashRegistry: registry,
+});
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface HashChainEntry<TPayload>`
+
+- `seq: bigint` — non-negative sequence number, packed as u64 BE
+- `prevHash: Uint8Array` — exactly `hashLength` bytes
+- `payload: TPayload` — caller-typed body
+- `hostSignature: Uint8Array` — exactly `signatureLength` bytes
+
+### `interface HashChainSchemaOptions<TPayload>`
+
+- `domain: DomainTag` — required
+- `verifier: AuthorityVerifier` — required (typically
+  `verifyAuthoritySignature` from `@suaveplan/crypto/authority`)
+- `slot?: SlotId = "sign"` — slot used by the host authority
+- `payloadCodec: BodyCodec<TPayload>` — required
+- `hashAlgorithm?: string = "sha256"` — must be registered
+- `hashRegistry?: HashAlgorithmRegistry` — defaults to singleton
+- `signatureLength?: number = 64`
+
+### `defineHashChainSchema<TPayload>(options): HashChainSchema<TPayload>`
+
+Returns:
+
+- `hashEntry(entry): Promise<Uint8Array>` — `outputBytes`-byte digest
+- `appendEntry(seq, prevHash, payload, authority, signal?): Promise<HashChainEntry<TPayload>>`
+  - throws `VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE` if seq is negative or > 2^64-1
+  - throws `CRYPTO_KEY_INVALID` if prevHash length ≠ hashLength
+  - throws `CRYPTO_SIGN_FAILED` if signature length ≠ signatureLength
+- `verifyEntry(entry, expectedPrevHash, hostPublicSlot): Promise<boolean>`
+- `verifyChain(entries, hostPublicSlot): Promise<ChainVerifyResult>`
+- `packEntry(entry): Uint8Array`
+- `unpackEntry(bytes): HashChainEntry<TPayload>`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_VERIFY_FAILED` if bytes too short
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The suaveplan entry's `prevHash` is caller-supplied — typically all-zero
+  bytes, but any deterministic value works as long as both producers and
+  consumers agree on it. `verifyChain` treats the first entry's
+  `prevHash` as the trust anchor (it is not derived from anything).
+- Tamper detection is positional: `firstBadIndex` is the LOWEST index at
+  which either the prev-hash linkage or the signature failed. A chain
+  with multiple tamper points reports only the first; a strict caller
+  who needs to know every bad index should iterate `verifyEntry`
+  directly.
+- The hash algorithm is resolved once at construction. Swapping the
+  registry's algorithm later does not affect already-built schemas. This
+  is deliberate: the chain's wire format is fixed at construction.
+- `appendEntry` does NOT compute the new `prevHash` — it only appends.
+  Callers are responsible for calling `hashEntry(prev)` between appends.
+  This separation allows callers to batch-append from a known
+  starting hash without forcing every append to be sequential.
+- `verifyChain` rebuilds the `expectedPrev` for index `i ≥ 1` by hashing
+  `entries[i-1]`. The suaveplan entry's `prevHash` is taken as the trust
+  anchor; if it does not match what the producer supplied, every chain
+  built atop it will fail at `firstBadIndex: 0`.

+# MultiSignedBitSchema
+
+Bit-packed payload co-signed by N independent authorities. Wire format is
+`[bit-packed body][sig_1][sig_2]…[sig_N]`. Pinpoints which signer failed
+on verify so a partial-trust caller can recover gracefully.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Some suaveplan surfaces require multiple signatures to authorise a single
+payload — multi-party transaction approval, threshold-equivalent ceremony
+records, and any quorum-style action. Building this on top of single-signer
+`SignedBitSchema` would force every callsite to roll its own concatenation
+and per-signer verify loop. `MultiSignedBitSchema` consolidates the
+pattern with strict count enforcement (a 3-signer schema cannot pack with
+2 authorities) and with `firstBadSignerIndex` reporting on verify so the
+error can carry the actionable detail of _which_ signer failed.
+
+## Features
+
+- N-of-N co-signing with `signerCount` baked into the schema
+- Pack rejects wrong-count authority arrays with
+  `CRYPTO_MULTISIGN_COUNT_MISMATCH`
+- Unpack rejects wrong-count public-slot arrays with
+  `CRYPTO_MULTISIGN_COUNT_MISMATCH`
+- `verify` returns `{ valid, firstBadSignerIndex? }` so callers can
+  enumerate "which signature broke?" without exception flow
+- `unpack` throws `CRYPTO_VERIFY_FAILED` whose context includes
+  `firstBadSignerIndex`
+- Each authority signs the same payload bytes under the same domain;
+  signature ordering follows the authority list
+- AbortSignal threaded through every `Authority.sign` call so a slow
+  signer can be cancelled
+- Pluggable body codec (same `BodyCodec<T>` as `SignedBitSchema`)
+- OTel spans `bitpacker-crypto.multisigned-pack` and
+  `bitpacker-crypto.multisigned-verify` with signer_count + payload_bytes
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { defineMultiSignedBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+import { DOMAIN_BITPACKER_MULTISIGN_V1 } from "@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags";
+import { verifyAuthoritySignature } from "@suaveplan/crypto/authority";
+
+interface VoteBody { proposalId: number; vote: number }
+const voteSchema = defineBitSchema<VoteBody>([
+    { name: "proposalId", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+    { name: "vote", type: "uint", bits: 1 },
+]);
+
+const ms = defineMultiSignedBitSchema<VoteBody>(
+    {
+        pack: (b) => voteSchema.pack(b),
+        unpack: (bytes) => voteSchema.unpack(bytes),
+    },
+    {
+        domain: DOMAIN_BITPACKER_MULTISIGN_V1,
+        verifier: verifyAuthoritySignature,
+        signerCount: 3,
+    }
+);
+
+const packed = await ms.pack(
+    { proposalId: 7, vote: 1 },
+    [authA, authB, authC]
+);
+const decoded = ms.unpack(packed, [pubA, pubB, pubC]);
+```
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — graceful partial-trust recovery
+
+```ts
+const result = ms.verify(bytes, [pubA, pubB, pubC]);
+if (!result.valid) {
+    // Tell the user EXACTLY which signer rejected the payload.
+    const failingSigner = signerNames[result.firstBadSignerIndex!];
+    throw new Error(`Quorum verify failed at signer "${failingSigner}"`);
+}
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface MultiVerifyResult`
+
+- `valid: boolean`
+- `firstBadSignerIndex?: number` — present when `valid` is false; zero-indexed
+
+### `interface MultiSignedBitSchemaOptions`
+
+- `domain: DomainTag` — required
+- `verifier: AuthorityVerifier` — required (typically
+  `verifyAuthoritySignature` from `@suaveplan/crypto/authority`)
+- `slot?: SlotId = "sign"` — slot used by every authority
+- `signerCount: number` — required, range 1..64
+- `signatureLength?: number = 64` — wire-format signature length
+
+### `defineMultiSignedBitSchema<T>(bodyCodec, options): MultiSignedBitSchema<T>`
+
+Returns:
+
+- `pack(data: T, authorities: readonly Authority[], signal?): Promise<Uint8Array>`
+- `unpack(bytes: Uint8Array, signerPublicSlots: readonly KeySlotPublic<unknown>[]): T`
+- `verify(bytes: Uint8Array, signerPublicSlots: readonly KeySlotPublic<unknown>[]): MultiVerifyResult`
+- `domain`, `slot`, `signerCount`, `signatureLength`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- Signatures are appended in authority list order and verified in the
+  same order. Re-ordering the public slot list at verify time will fail
+  every signature (ed25519 binds key to signature). This is intentional —
+  the wire format does not permute, so the schema's contract is
+  positional.
+- Pack short-circuits early if any authority returns a wrong-length
+  signature, throwing `CRYPTO_SIGN_FAILED` with `signerIndex`. A
+  misbehaving authority cannot poison a partially-signed payload because
+  bytes are not assembled until every signature is ready.
+- Verify does NOT short-circuit on the first failure when called via
+  `verify(...)` — that's a lie. It DOES short-circuit, returning
+  `firstBadSignerIndex`. The naming is deliberate: callers should not
+  rely on every signer being verified just because they asked to verify
+  N signatures. If you need exhaustive reporting (which signers failed,
+  which passed), iterate yourself with `verifyAuthoritySignature`.
+- The `signerCount` upper bound (64) is conservative; raising it requires
+  no schema changes, but the on-wire payload grows linearly so very
+  large signer sets should consider threshold signing instead.
+- AbortSignal is checked once per authority — a slow signer at index 5
+  can be cancelled, but signers 0-4 will already have signed.

+# SignedBitSchema
+
+Bit-packed payload signed by an `Authority` under a fixed `DomainTag`. Wire
+format is `[bit-packed body][signature]`. Verifies before decoding so a
+tampered payload never even reaches the body codec. Replaces the ad-hoc
+`BitPacker.pack(...) → sign(...) → concat(...)` pattern that crypto
+chain bundles, public bundles, packer chunks, and game-server state-sync
+encoders had been re-authoring.
+
+<!-- begin:auto-docs -->
+_(no submodules)_
+<!-- end:auto-docs -->
+
+## Purpose
+
+Every signed wire format in the stack follows the same recipe:
+bit-pack a structured body, sign the bytes with an authority slot, frame
+`[body][signature]`, then on the verify side strip the signature, verify it
+against a parent's public slot, and only then decode the body. Five plus
+suaveplan/upstream call-sites had been manually re-authoring this dance, each
+slightly differently. `SignedBitSchema` consolidates the pattern so the
+domain separation, signature length, sign-slot dispatch, and verify-then-decode
+order are all driven by a single primitive.
+
+The domain `DomainTag` is required, not optional, so a signature produced
+under one domain (e.g. `DOMAIN_PUBLIC_KEYCHAIN_V1`) cannot be replayed
+under a different domain (e.g. `DOMAIN_AUDIT_V1`) — the tag bytes
+participate in the signing input via
+`@suaveplan/crypto::buildSigningInput`. Cross-protocol replay is rejected
+at the bytes-don't-match level rather than at any application-layer check.
+
+## Features
+
+- Pluggable body codec (`BodyCodec<T>`) so the body can be a legacy
+  `defineBitSchema` codec, a modern `BitPacker`-backed codec, an outer
+  envelope, or any future encoder satisfying the two-method contract
+- `pack(data, authority, signal?)` is async — delegates signing to
+  `Authority.sign(domain, slot, payload, signal)` so HSM/threshold backends
+  Just Work without the primitive having to know
+- `unpack(bytes, parentPublicSlot)` enforces verify-then-decode order —
+  body codec is NEVER invoked on a tampered payload
+- `verify(bytes, parentPublicSlot)` returns `boolean` so callers can
+  enumerate candidate parent keys without exception flow
+- `unpackSelf(bytes, getEmbeddedSlot)` supports trust-anchor bundles whose
+  own embedded sign slot is the verifier
+- AbortSignal threaded through `Authority.sign` per suaveplan cancellation
+  rules
+- `signatureLength` configurable (defaults to ed25519's 64) so future
+  primitives with different signature shapes inherit the schema for free
+- OTel spans `bitpacker-crypto.signed-pack` and
+  `bitpacker-crypto.signed-verify` with `domain` + `payload_bytes` attrs
+
+## Usage: Basic Example
+
+```ts
+import { defineSignedBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto";
+import { defineBitSchema } from "@suaveplan/bitpacker";
+import { DOMAIN_PUBLIC_KEYCHAIN_V1 } from "@suaveplan/crypto/domain-tags";
+import { verifyAuthoritySignature } from "@suaveplan/crypto/authority";
+
+interface LinkBody {
+    parentSeq: number;
+    purposeBits: number;
+}
+const linkSchema = defineBitSchema<LinkBody>([
+    { name: "parentSeq", type: "uint", bits: 32 },
+    { name: "purposeBits", type: "uint", bits: 16 },
+]);
+
+const link = defineSignedBitSchema<LinkBody>(
+    {
+        pack: (b) => linkSchema.pack(b),
+        unpack: (bytes) => linkSchema.unpack(bytes),
+    },
+    {
+        domain: DOMAIN_PUBLIC_KEYCHAIN_V1,
+        verifier: verifyAuthoritySignature,
+    }
+);
+
+const packed = await link.pack(
+    { parentSeq: 7, purposeBits: 0xf0 },
+    authority
+);
+const decoded = link.unpack(packed, parentPublicSlot);
+```
+
+The `verifier` option is required and accepts an `AuthorityVerifier`
+function (`(domain, publicSlot, payload, signature) => boolean`). The
+canonical implementation is `verifyAuthoritySignature` from
+`@suaveplan/crypto/authority`. Passing it via DI keeps
+`@suaveplan/bitpacker-crypto` free of any runtime dependency on
+`@suaveplan/crypto`, which is what allows future
+`crypto::ChainBundle`-style consumers to adopt this primitive without
+inducing a circular package dependency.
+
+## Usage: Advanced Example — trust anchor via `unpackSelf`
+
+```ts
+const trustAnchor = defineSignedBitSchema<TrustAnchorBundle>(codec, {
+    domain: DOMAIN_BITPACKER_SIGNED_V1,
+});
+
+// Verify against the bundle's OWN embedded sign slot.
+const bundle = trustAnchor.unpackSelf(bytes, (decoded) => decoded.embeddedSlot);
+```
+
+`unpackSelf` decodes the body once to extract the embedded sign slot, then
+verifies the signature against that slot. Only used for the root link of a
+chain (every other link verifies against its parent).
+
+## API Reference
+
+### `interface SignedBitSchemaOptions`
+
+- `domain: DomainTag` (required) — the domain under which the body is signed
+- `verifier: AuthorityVerifier` (required) — pure verifier function;
+  typically `verifyAuthoritySignature` from `@suaveplan/crypto/authority`
+- `slot?: SlotId = "sign"` — the authority slot used for signing
+- `signatureLength?: number = 64` — wire-format signature length
+
+### `defineSignedBitSchema<T>(bodyCodec, options): SignedBitSchema<T>`
+
+Returns:
+
+- `pack(data: T, authority: Authority, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<Uint8Array>`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_SIGN_FAILED` if the authority returns a wrong-length
+    signature
+- `unpack(bytes: Uint8Array, parentPublicSlot: KeySlotPublic<unknown>): T`
+  - throws `CRYPTO_VERIFY_FAILED` on verify failure (BEFORE body decode)
+- `verify(bytes: Uint8Array, parentPublicSlot: KeySlotPublic<unknown>): boolean`
+- `unpackSelf(bytes: Uint8Array, getEmbeddedSlot: (decoded: T) => KeySlotPublic<unknown>): T`
+- `domain: DomainTag`, `slot: SlotId`, `signatureLength: number`
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- The order `verify → decode` is load-bearing. A tampered byte string must
+  never reach the body codec because the codec may have side effects, may
+  log unexpected payloads, or may be slow. Verify-then-decode is asserted
+  by a spec-conformance test that injects a tracking codec and checks
+  `decodeCalls === 0` after a tampered unpack.
+- `verify(bytes, slot)` deliberately swallows structural exceptions and
+  returns `false` so callers can probe candidate parent keys against an
+  arbitrary byte string without try/catch boilerplate. `unpack(...)` is
+  the throw-on-failure variant.
+- The body codec is held by reference; mutating it after construction
+  changes future pack/unpack behavior. Treat the codec as immutable.
+- `Authority.sign` is async because real backends (HSM, TPM, threshold
+  signing, network-attached signers) are async. Even the in-memory v1
+  authority returns a Promise to preserve the contract.
+- Signature length is enforced on pack to surface a misbehaving authority
+  early. The check is identity-checking the `Promise<Uint8Array>.length`,
+  not the algorithm — a future ECDSA-backed authority signing into an
+  ed25519-shaped slot would be caught here.
+- OTel spans cost essentially nothing under the no-op tracer; they
+  materialise once a real provider is wired. The spans deliberately do
+  NOT carry the signature itself (sensitive material) or the body bytes
+  (potentially sensitive); only metadata: domain, slot, payload_bytes.
