Skeleton, mnemonic input, derivation, and the ssh pub and priv commands (closes #1)
The module, the script entrypoints and Makefile, Docker-only linting, the mnemonic sources in the specified order with their refusals, the BIP-85 derivation, and keyfunc ssh pub and priv with the README test vectors as tests. Two review rounds; the second passed with no findings.

Model: opus-5 (implementation and review); fable-5-1 (landing)
