Summary
The BIP-322 spec requires signers to prefix the base64 signature with a variant identifier (
smpfor simple,fulfor full, orpoffor proof of funds) and verifiers may only assume the simple variant when no prefix is present. The crate emitted bare base64 from all threesign_*_encodedfunctions and only accepted bare base64 on verification, so prefixed signatures from spec-compliant implementations failed to decode.This prepends the variant prefix in
sign_simple_encoded,sign_full_encoded, andsign_pof_encoded, and strips it in the corresponding verifiers, falling back to the unprefixed encoding when absent.Rebased on #67.
