thePR0M3TH3ANandClaude Fable 5 b414cc53d2 Security audit: fix 8 findings across crypto, vault, and widget
An adversarial audit (five independent reviewers over crypto/protocol,
the vault, the widget, relay flows, and doc honesty) found real bugs in
code this repo shipped. Fixed here, worst first:

CRITICAL - the widget worker ignored application_binding.origin on
vaultRevealNwc, so any caller naming a connection id could pull a
wallet credential the user granted to a DIFFERENT site. The worker now
derives its own origin (self.location) instead of trusting a payload
field -- which also closes binding forgery via vaultSaveNwc /
vaultSetBinding / vaultOfferCheck, where a host could bind another
site's wallet to itself and inherit its one-tap approval.

CRITICAL - VaultSession.destroy() left the vault root live (the root
regenerates every derived key) and, worse, left the session USABLE with
a zeroed prk: deriveRecordKey/deriveVaultSigningKey over 32 zero bytes
are deterministic and world-computable, so a stale reference could seal
a wallet secret under a key any observer can derive and report success.
Now wipes the root and fails loudly.

CRITICAL - changePassword published the tombstone that DESTROYS the old
capsule before checking that the new one reached quorum: a failed
rotation could leave neither password working, phrase-only recovery.
Reordered to fail closed with the old password intact, plus a
regression test that drives it with a partially-hostile relay set.

HIGH - enableConnectionVault never checked quorum on the recovery read,
so one stale relay could make it mint a SECOND vault root and orphan
every stored credential -- the outcome its own header calls
unforgivable.

HIGH - the rollback high-water mark used strict `<` and never compared
the event id it stored, so a same-second sibling of a revocation could
resurrect a revoked credential forever. Ties now break on event id.

HIGH - §11.10 claimed derived secrets are wiped; wipe() had two callers
and neither was on the password or recovery path. The Argon2id output,
both PRKs, and the 64-byte BIP-39 seed now die at their derivation
site.

MEDIUM - one malformed record threw out of the listing loop and made
every OTHER connection unlistable; recovery lacked the
already-registered-at-this-locator guard that registration and rotation
both carry; the recovery chain check silently passed on gaps and forks.
Synthetic (untrusted) clicks and submits no longer drive consent UI.

Docs corrected where they overstated: the README's "private keys never
leave the worker" now says plainly that a same-origin host can reach
exportIdentity, and connection-vault.md gains §19 recording six OPEN
limitations -- no CAS on capsule writes, per-device-only rollback
state, tombstones not destroying prior ciphertext, the sudo key
shipping with the root, fetches not failing closed, and a plaintext
mark store.
