docs: mark hardware-wallet signing in scope (lower priority) - #79
Merged
Conversation
Flip Walletbeat attribute #4 (hardware-wallet signing) from a deliberate v0 non-goal to an in-scope, lower-priority goal across WALLETBEAT-COMPATIBILITY.md, for internal consistency: the decisions-locked bullet, the attribute table row, the non-goals line, both Stage-1 narrative sentences, and the scoring summary. A HW signer kind behind signerd fits the key-isolation thesis; EOA HW devices sign secp256k1 only, so Railgun private spends (babyjubjub) still need a software key. Spec tracked in #78.

What
Mark Walletbeat attribute #4 — hardware-wallet signing as in scope, lower priority in
docs/WALLETBEAT-COMPATIBILITY.md(previously a deliberate v0 non-goal). Updated for internal consistency across all six places the attribute appears: the Decisions locked bullet, the attribute table row, the Deliberate non-goals line, both Stage-1 narrative sentences, and the scoring summary.Why
A hardware-wallet signer kind behind
signerdfits Deckard's key-isolation thesis — the device holds the key, the host never does. Constraint captured in the doc: EOA HW devices sign secp256k1 only, so the Railgun private-spend path (babyjubjub) still needs a software key (split custody).Design / discussion tracked in #78.
Context
Part of a hardening sweep filed as #71–#78 (rollback protection, policy integrity, revm preflight, verified token metadata, cargo-vet, guardrail fail-safe, multi-chain, HW signing). This PR carries only the one doc change; the rest are tracked as issues.
Scope
Docs only — no code, no dependency changes.
