pkc%feat: adjust APIs in preparation for downstream integration, derive Copy on non-secret operational types, extend CodeQL to enforce trait parity

[kwvg]

Motivation

In preparation for downstream integration and crate publication, trial runs were done and it was observed that downstream has a preference for Copyable types and that our Clone-only position for operational types would be too disruptive.

This pull request resolves that alongside other changes done to reduce integration friction.

Breaking Changes

• EcdsaSkBytes::from_wif now additionally returns the version prefix, passing the responsibility of validating the prefix byte onto the caller. This changed the arguments and return type, requiring downstream adaptation.

How Has This Been Tested?

cargo clippy --all-targets --features full -- -D warnings
cargo test --all-targets --features full
nix develop ./contrib/nix#dev --command python3 maint/lint_all.py

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates CodeQL rules for trait gaps and PKC re-exports. It adds hidden dependency exports, Copy semantics, secp256k1 conversions, and flexible WIF prefix decoding across PKC cryptographic types.

Changes

CodeQL analysis updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
PKC re-export allowlisting maint/codeql/rust/lib/imports.qll	The import-ordering library allowlists specified re-exports from files under pkgs/pkc.
Trait-gap detection maint/codeql/rust/lib/traits.qll, maint/codeql/rust/pkc.model.yml, maint/codeql/rust/pkc.ql	The CodeQL query detects traits implemented by one paired arm but missing from another. The model registers the new extensible predicate.

PKC API updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependency re-exports pkgs/pkc/src/lib.rs, pkgs/num/src/lib.rs, pkgs/types/src/lib.rs	PKC adds feature-gated dependency re-exports. Related crates receive TODO comments for future re-export organization.
Copy semantics for cryptographic values pkgs/pkc/src/bls/*, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/public_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/sig_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/sig_rec_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/bench/ecdsa.rs	BLS and ECDSA wrapper values use Copy semantics. Call sites pass values instead of cloning or borrowing signatures and keys.
Backend conversion APIs pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/public_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/secret_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/sig_ops.rs, pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/sig_rec_ops.rs	ECDSA wrappers gain conversions to and from secp256k1 backend types. Tests verify round-trip values, compression, scalar data, and recovery IDs.
WIF prefix handling pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/secret_bytes.rs	EcdsaSkBytes::from_wif returns the decoded prefix instead of requiring an expected prefix. Existing malformed-payload validation remains covered by tests.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to db3ea

The new API analysis can miss consistency problems, and an uncompressed recoverable signature can change its recovered public-key encoding after a backend round trip. These should be corrected before publication.

Inline comments:
In `@maint/codeql/rust/lib/imports.qll`:
- Around line 77-97: Restrict isAllowlistedReexport so dependency prefixes are
allowlisted only for the crate-root __deps bridge and explicitly recognized
public API re-export sites. Preserve the existing group re-export from
pkgs/pkc/src/bls/mod.rs while ensuring unrelated uses such as future secp256k1
re-exports remain detectable by isForeignReexport.

In `@maint/codeql/rust/lib/traits.qll`:
- Line 127: Update the trait identity handling around traitName and traitGap to
use the resolved Trait item or a canonical fully qualified identity instead of
the terminal name returned by implTraitName(i). Apply the same identity
consistently in armLacksTrait and the related derive check so distinct traits
with identical short names remain separate.

In `@pkgs/pkc/src/ecdsa/sig_rec_ops.rs`:
- Line 124: Update the recoverable-signature backend conversion around
EcdsaRecSignature and its From<secp256k1::ecdsa::RecoverableSignature>
implementation to accept and preserve the caller’s Compression value instead of
always using Compression::Compressed. Pass the metadata through
EcdsaPublicKey::recover and add coverage for an uncompressed signature round
trip.
