Transaction Science c65b68a2f7 wai-rs: every Ed25519 check outside OER/2 goes through sig::verify_strict
Sixteen sites still decoded the key with VerifyingKey::from_bytes and checked
with the lenient verify, which accepts a key of small order (under the identity,
(R, S) = (B, 1) verifies over any message), a second spelling of a point (y = p + j
is reduced), and an R of small order. Each now calls crate::sig::verify_strict:
the video, SSAI, key-release, channel and package receipts (v1 and v2), the
provenance, ternary and the five media receipts, and the world's receipt, op
signature and container seal. A package names a bad key apart from a bad
signature under receipt-signature; an op's bad key is still BadActorKey.

claim_receipt's own copy of the rule (signer_key, verify_ed25519_strict) is
gone: claims, JWP groups and the key log call the same routine, and its key
test moved into sig.rs. sig builds under a new `ed25519` feature that is only
the dependency, which world and oer enable, so the helper exists exactly when
ed25519-dalek does and asks for nothing else.

sig::forgeries builds, for any signing payload, the three signatures a lenient
verifier accepts and the rule refuses; every moved site has a test that its
receipt refuses all three. oer.rs is untouched: OER/2's settled rule refuses
the same keys but not R of small order.

//! Ternary-MPS receipt — the energy-accounted seal for a `wai.ternary.tt`
//! reconstruction (extensions/ternary-tt § Receipt).
//!
//! The whole reason `wai.ternary.tt` exists is provenance, not compression rate:
//! a quantum-inspired transform whose reconstruction is byte-exact, portable, and
//! auditable. This receipt is where that pays off — the same design as
//! [`crate::quantum_receipt::QuantumReceipt`], separating the two costs so each
//! is trusted the way it honestly can be:
//!
//! - **work** (`trit_macs = Σ trit-tensor sizes`) — portable-exact, recomputable
//! by anyone from the container, a sink cannot inflate it. **Verified.**
//! - **joules_micro** — measured marginal energy the sink spent reconstructing.
//! **Attested** by signature (the `wai_quantum_meter` IOReport pattern applies
//! unchanged), with its acquisition class as an optional label
//! (`extensions/energy-measurement.md` §2.8).
//!
//! Both bind to two hashes: `payload_hash` (BLAKE3 of the canonical `WQTT`
//! bytes — tamper-evidence) and `reconstruction_hash` (the decoded signal —
//! re-checkable by re-decoding). A JWP profile: the world/provenance Merkle +
//! Ed25519, reused, chaining via `parent_receipt_hash`.
