New crates/core/src/fof.rs module owns the author-side FoF Layer 2
publish path:
- build_fof_comment_gating(storage, author_persona_id): gathers the
author's keyring (own current V_me + every distinct received V_x),
generates a fresh CEK + slot_binder_nonce, generates a fresh per-V_x
(priv_x, pub_x) Ed25519 keypair per real slot, seals each slot, pads
with random-bytes dummies to the next bucket (min 8, power-of-2 to
256, +128 above per Layer 3), shuffles real + dummy together, and
returns the FoFCommentGating wire block + author-local CEK + the
slot_binder_nonce.
- Dedup at V_x byte level: a key held under multiple owners produces
exactly one slot.
- next_vouch_batch_bucket promoted to pub(crate) in profile.rs so the
Layer 2 fof module can reuse the bucket rule from Layer 3.
Three unit tests cover:
- Real-count + padding + roundtrip (Alice's own V_me unlocks her slot;
Bob's V_x unlocks his slot; both yield same CEK).
- No V_me → returns None (graceful).
- Duplicate V_x bytes across owners are deduped (single slot).
134 → 138 tests pass (no regressions).
Subsequent slices wire this into the post-create path, add the
reader/commenter side, the CDN four-check verification, and the
revocation/access-grant diff handlers.
