The signature builtin contained multiple redundant Felt252 byte round-trips (to_bytes_be followed by from_bytes_be) that provided no normalization benefit since Felt252 values in this codebase are already canonical modulo the Cairo prime, and all consumers (including starknet_crypto::verify and the Cairo PIE serializers) accept or serialize felts directly. This change removes those conversions in add_signature, add_validation_rule, get_additional_data, extend_additional_data, and simplifies air_private_input for r and w computation, reducing allocations and improving clarity without altering behavior or formats.
