Add ethers.js and libsodium, document crypto policy

Runtime deps: ethers 6.16.0 (all Ethereum operations) and
libsodium-wrappers-sumo 0.8.2 (Argon2id + XSalsa20-Poly1305 for
encrypting secrets at rest). README now documents all dependencies
with versions/licenses, a crypto policy forbidding raw primitives
in application code, and the updated encryption scheme.

+AutistMask uses two runtime libraries. All cryptographic operations are
+delegated to these libraries — see the Crypto Policy section below.

+### Crypto Policy
+
+**No raw crypto primitives in application code.** If the strings `aes`, `sha`,
+`pbkdf`, `hmac`, `encrypt`, `decrypt`, `hash`, `cipher`, `digest`, `sign`
+(case-insensitive) appear in our own source code (outside of `node_modules/`),
+it is almost certainly a bug. All cryptographic operations must go through
+`ethers` or `libsodium-wrappers-sumo`. This policy exists because:
+
+- Rolling your own crypto is the single most common source of security
+  vulnerabilities in wallet software.
+- Both libraries are widely audited and battle-tested.
+- Keeping crypto out of application code makes security review tractable:
+  reviewers only need to verify that we call the libraries correctly, not that
+  we implemented crypto correctly.
+
+Exceptions require explicit authorization in a code comment referencing this
+policy.
+
 ### Key Decisions
 
 - **No framework**: The popup UI is vanilla JS and HTML. The extension is small
   enough that a framework adds unnecessary complexity and attack surface.
 - **Encrypted storage**: Recovery phrases and private keys are encrypted at rest
-  in the extension's local storage. The encryption scheme:
+  in the extension's local storage using libsodium. The encryption scheme:
-    - The user's password is run through PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations) with
+    - The user's password is run through Argon2id (`crypto_pwhash`) to derive a
-      a random salt to derive a 256-bit encryption key.
+      256-bit encryption key. Argon2id is memory-hard, making GPU/ASIC brute
-    - The encryption key + a random IV encrypt the secret material using
+      force attacks expensive.
-      AES-256-GCM.
+    - The derived key encrypts the secret material using XSalsa20-Poly1305
-    - Stored blob: `{ salt, iv, ciphertext, authTag }`.
+      (`crypto_secretbox`), which provides authenticated encryption (the
+      ciphertext cannot be tampered with without detection).
+    - Stored blob: `{ salt, nonce, ciphertext }` (the auth tag is part of the
+      `crypto_secretbox` output).
     - **The password is NOT used in address derivation.** It exists solely to
       protect the recovery phrase / private key on disk. Anyone with the
       recovery phrase can restore the wallet on any device without this
       password. This matches MetaMask's behavior.
-- **BIP-39 / BIP-44**: Standard mnemonic generation and HD key derivation
+- **BIP-39 / BIP-44 via ethers.js**: Mnemonic generation, validation, and HD key
-  (`m/44'/60'/0'/0/n`) for Ethereum address compatibility. The BIP-39 passphrase
+  derivation (`m/44'/60'/0'/0/n`) are handled entirely by ethers.js. The BIP-39
-  is always empty (matching MetaMask and most wallet software). The user's
+  passphrase is always empty (matching MetaMask and most wallet software). The
-  password is completely separate and has no effect on which addresses are

+  are generated.
+- **ethers.js for everything Ethereum**: Transaction construction, signing, gas
+  estimation, RPC communication, ERC-20 contract calls, and address derivation
+  are all handled by ethers.js. This means zero hand-rolled Ethereum logic.
 - **EIP-1193 provider**: The content script injects a `window.ethereum` object
   that implements the EIP-1193 provider interface, enabling web3 site
   connectivity.
-- **Minimal RPC**: The extension communicates with Ethereum nodes via JSON-RPC.
