test: known-answer coverage for HD derivation and the vault (closes #159)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 43s

wallet.js and vault.js — the two modules that hold user funds — had no
derivation or encryption tests. Add them, pinned to published vectors
rather than to whatever the implementation returns today.

wallet.js: hdWalletFromMnemonic, hdWalletFromXprv, deriveAddressFromXpub
and getSignerForAddress are pinned to the standard development recovery
phrase's first three accounts at m/44'/60'/0'/0/n and to the BIP-39
all-zero-entropy phrase's first address; addressFromPrivateKey is pinned
to the published key/address pairs, so the HD path and the bare-key path
must meet at the same address from two directions. isValidMnemonic and
isValidXprv cover bad checksum, wrong word count, wrong key type and
empty/garbage input. The absolute-vs-relative path asymmetry between
hdWalletFromMnemonic and hdWalletFromXprv is proven harmless: for the
same master key both reach the same xpub and the same addresses.

vault.js: round trip (including non-ASCII and an empty password), wrong
password rejected as a rejected promise with no partial plaintext,
tampered ciphertext / auth tag / nonce / salt rejected, truncated and
spliced blobs rejected, missing fields rejected, fresh salt and nonce per
encryption, the documented { salt, nonce, ciphertext } shape, and no
trace of the plaintext or password anywhere in the serialized blob. The
Argon2id cost parameters are pinned three ways — the INTERACTIVE
constants still mean 2 passes over 64 MiB, a key independently derived at
that cost opens the vault, and both encrypt and decrypt are observed
calling crypto_pwhash with those constants — because the KDF cost is the
vault's only defence against offline attack on a stolen blob and nothing
else in the suite would notice it being lowered. The tamper cases share
one encrypted fixture to stay inside script/test's 30-second budget.

One test is skipped: isValidXprv accepts an extended private key with a
one-character typo, because ethers skips base58 checksum verification for
the usual 82-byte payload. That defect is tracked separately and is not
fixed here; the skipped test asserts the correct behaviour and cites the
issue.

// Tests for src/shared/vault.js: the Argon2id + XSalsa20-Poly1305 encryption
// that protects recovery phrases and private keys at rest.
//
// The properties that matter here are the ones whose failure is silent. A
// vault that decrypts under the wrong password, that hands back plaintext from
// a ciphertext an attacker edited, that reuses a nonce, or that leaves the
// recovery phrase readable somewhere in the stored blob all look exactly like
// a working vault from the UI. So each test below asserts a negative: the
// thing that must not happen.
//
// Cost: every encrypt and decrypt runs one Argon2id pwhash at the production
// interactive parameters, which the module hardcodes. The parameters are not
// weakened or overridden anywhere in this file — they are pinned by the "key
// derivation cost" tests, since they are the vault's only defence against an
// offline attack on a stolen blob. The suite is kept inside script/test's
// 30-second budget by sharing one encrypted fixture across the tamper cases
// instead of re-encrypting per test.
