feat(rust,nodejs): BIP-39 mnemonic phrases for Ed25519 identities

Browse Source 
Adds the canonical wallet-style backup form (12 or 24 BIP-39 English
words) to both implementations. Wire-compatible — bit-identical seed
derivation across Rust and Node.

Semantics:
  • 24 words ↔ 32 bytes of entropy ↔ Ed25519 seed (bijection).
    Phrase ↔ seed round-trips exactly.
  • 12 words → 16 bytes of entropy → seed via
    SHA-256("kez-bip39-12-v1" || entropy). Deterministic but one-way;
    you can't recover a 12-word phrase from a seed.

The 12-word case is KEZ-specific (not interoperable with hardware-
wallet BIP-32 derivations). The 24-word case is. Both use the BIP-39
English wordlist so users can paper-back-up alongside other wallets.

We deliberately do NOT use BIP-39's PBKDF2 to_seed(passphrase) — that
produces a 64-byte seed for BIP-32 hierarchical derivation, which is
the wrong primitive for KEZ's single-identity-per-phrase model.

Rust (kez-core):
  • New mod mnemonic with MnemonicWords, generate_mnemonic,
    seed_from_mnemonic, mnemonic_from_seed_24.
  • Ed25519Secret::{from_mnemonic, generate_with_mnemonic}.
  • Dep: bip39 v2.0 with the `rand` feature for OS-RNG generation.
  • 9 unit tests, all green.

Rust (kez-cli):
  • `identity new --key-type ed25519` now also prints a 24-word phrase
    (default), with --mnemonic-words 12 to use 12 instead.
  • `identity mnemonic [--words 12|24]` — print a fresh phrase only.
  • `identity from-mnemonic "<phrase>"` — derive the key from a phrase.
  • `--mnemonic <phrase>` is now accepted everywhere `--ed25519-seed
    <hex>` was (claim create/dns, sigchain add/revoke/show/export/
    publish), mutually exclusive with --ed25519-seed and --nsec via
    clap conflicts_with_all.

Node (@kez/core):
  • New mnemonic.ts with the parallel API:
    generateMnemonic, seedFromMnemonic, mnemonicFromSeed24,
    ed25519FromMnemonic, generateEd25519WithMnemonic.
  • Dep: @scure/bip39 v2.x (note: import path is
    "@scure/bip39/wordlists/english.js" with the .js suffix in v2).
  • 8 vitest cases mirroring the Rust tests, all green.

Node (@kez/cli):
  • Same CLI surface added: identity new --mnemonic-words 12|24,
    identity mnemonic --words 12|24, identity from-mnemonic "<phrase>".
  • --mnemonic flag accepted alongside --nsec / --ed25519-seed in the
    flag parser, with mutex enforcement; loadSigner dispatches it.

Verified cross-implementation interop:
  • Same 24-word phrase → identical Ed25519 pubkey in Rust and Node.
  • Same 12-word phrase → identical pubkey (proves the SHA-256
    domain-tagged derivation matches byte-for-byte).
  • A claim signed in Rust with --mnemonic verifies in Node (Status:
    valid).

Tests: 114 Rust + 99 Node total, zero regressions.

TUTORIAL.md updated in both rust/ and nodejs/ with the new section in
"Pick your primary key" plus a callout that --mnemonic can substitute
for --ed25519-seed throughout the rest of the tutorial.

You can also get just a phrase, or restore an existing one:
```sh
npm run cli -- identity mnemonic # fresh 24 words
npm run cli -- identity mnemonic --words 12 # fresh 12 words
npm run cli -- identity from-mnemonic "abandon ability able …" # recover the key
```
> **Save the backup.** Seed *or* phrase — at least one. Lose them both
> and the identity is gone. There's no recovery flow.
Throughout the rest of this tutorial you can substitute
`--mnemonic "your phrase here"` anywhere `--ed25519-seed <hex>` appears.
For the rest of this tutorial we'll use a nostr key for examples and
write the secret as `nsec1FAKE...` — substitute your real one.

You now have **two equivalent backups** — the hex seed *and* the 24-word
BIP-39 phrase. Either restores the same identity. Most people back up
the phrase (easier to write down, easier to verify by hand).
> **12 vs 24.** 24 words is fully round-trippable: phrase ↔ seed are
> bijective. 12 words is shorter to memorize, but the seed is derived
> from the phrase one-way (KEZ-specific SHA-256 step), so you cannot
> derive a 12-word phrase from a hex seed. Pick whichever you'll
> actually remember to back up.
You can also get just a phrase without a key, or restore from a phrase
you wrote down earlier:
```sh
kez identity mnemonic # print a fresh 24-word phrase
kez identity mnemonic --words 12 # 12-word
kez identity from-mnemonic "abandon ability able …" # recover the key
```
> **Save the backup.** Seed *or* phrase — at least one. Lose them both
> and the identity is gone. There's no recovery flow.
Throughout the rest of this tutorial you can substitute
`--mnemonic "your phrase here"` anywhere `--ed25519-seed <hex>` appears.
For the rest of this tutorial we'll use a nostr key for examples and
write the secret as `nsec1FAKE...` — substitute your real one.

//! - **24 words** ↔ **32 bytes of entropy** ↔ **Ed25519 seed**.
//! Round-trips perfectly. The entropy *is* the seed. You can recover
//! the phrase from the seed and vice versa.
//!
//! - **12 words** → **16 bytes of entropy** → **Ed25519 seed**, via
//! `SHA-256("kez-bip39-12-v1" || entropy)`. The phrase is the
//! canonical secret; the seed is derived from it deterministically.
//! You **cannot** recover a 12-word phrase from a seed (the
//! derivation is one-way). KEZ-specific; not interoperable with
//! hardware wallet derivations.
//!
//! Wordlist: BIP-39 English. Same wordlist every other crypto wallet
//! uses, so users can store a KEZ phrase in the same offline-paper /
//! steel-plate setup they already use.
//!
//! NB: We deliberately do *not* use BIP-39's `to_seed(passphrase)`
//! function. That produces a 64-byte seed via PBKDF2, intended to feed
//! into BIP-32 hierarchical derivation. KEZ has one identity per phrase,
//! no derivation tree, so taking the entropy directly (or hashing it
//! once for 12-word phrases) is the right primitive.
