fix: run libsodium on WebAssembly under the extension CSP (closes #182)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 30s

libsodium ships a WASM build and a wasm2js translation in one file, tries
WASM first, and silently falls back if instantiation throws. Under a plain
script-src 'self' the fallback was taken on every popup load, announced by
nothing but an uncaught CompileError.

Measured on the vault's own Argon2id parameters (OPSLIMIT_INTERACTIVE,
MEMLIMIT_INTERACTIVE), node 22: WASM 141-198ms per derivation, wasm2js
3204-3660ms. The work factor is identical either way — it is set by the
ops and memory parameters, not by wall time — so the fallback bought no
security and cost about 3.5s on every operation that asks for the
password, which is every signature.

Both manifests now declare script-src 'self' 'wasm-unsafe-eval';
object-src 'self' for extension pages: an object under
content_security_policy.extension_pages for Chrome MV3, a bare string for
Firefox MV2. The keyword permits compiling WebAssembly and nothing else —
not eval() of strings, not inline script, not remote script — and reaching
it requires already executing script in an extension page. 'unsafe-eval'
is not granted.

The silence is what made this dangerous, so the fallback is now loud at
three levels: tests/manifest.test.js pins both policies to exactly that
token set, failing make check if the grant is dropped or if anything is
added beside it; tests/vaultBackend.test.js asserts the unit tests
exercise the WASM backend, with a self-validating check that libsodium
never swapped its fallback in; and the e2e suite compiles a WebAssembly
module inside the real popup under the real manifest, with the harness
allowlist entry that used to excuse the CompileError now deleted.

The runtime fallback itself is kept — a wallet that refuses to decrypt is
worse than a slow one — but vault.js now reports the backend and logs an
error when it is not WASM.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-08-11: libsodium runs on WebAssembly in the shipped builds —
`'wasm-unsafe-eval'` added to both manifest CSPs after measuring the wasm2js
fallback at 20x the Argon2id cost, pinned in both directions by
`tests/manifest.test.js` and observed in the real popup by the e2e suite
([#182](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/182)).
- 2026-08-11: Policy compliance sweep — conditional verbose test rerun, local
Tailwind binary instead of `npx`, `--frozen-lockfile` on `make install`, and
the Makefile-only targets documented in the README
