jschoubben 41637befff Rename mesh-control -> mesh-controller, substrate -> foundation
One name per thing, per the HQ glossary: the module/container/image/binary/repo
becomes mesh-controller, the seat the-controller, and the store+broker pair the
foundation (embedded base bundles, default template and example lock renamed with
their go:embed directives). No behaviour change — a pure vocabulary rename.

// A NaCl `crypto_box_seal`, byte-compatible with Go's `box.SealAnonymous`, over the audited
// `tweetnacl-sealedbox-js`.
//
// **Why this file exists, and why it is exactly this.** novox/hq ADR 0050's refreshable-grant
// carve-out delivers the refresh token to the manager module the way the mesh delivers every other
// credential: sealed to the node's key, and unsealed by the *host* — never by the module. The host
// unseals with Go's `golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/box.OpenAnonymous` (mesh-host
// internal/identity/sealing.go), and mesh-controller seals with `box.SealAnonymous`
// (mesh-controller internal/secrets/seal.go). Both are NaCl `crypto_box_seal`:
//
// sealed = ephemeralPub(32) ‖ crypto_box(msg, nonce, recipientPub, ephemeralSecret)
// nonce = blake2b( ephemeralPub ‖ recipientPub , 24 bytes, unkeyed )
//
// When the vendor rotates the refresh token, the manager module must store the new one back the
// same way — sealed to the manager node's own sealing key — so mesh-controller keeps it without ever
// reading it and the host can later unseal it to deliver the cleartext again. That reseal happens
// here, on the manager node, in TypeScript. It therefore has to produce the *identical* byte format
// Go's `Open` accepts, or the host would refuse the delivery.
//
// **The crypto is not ours.** `tweetnacl-sealedbox-js` is `crypto_box_seal` built on the audited
// TweetNaCl (`tweetnacl`) and blakejs — the same construction, and the same libraries, the mesh used
// to validate this seal during Phase C. It generates the ephemeral X25519 key pair, derives the
// nonce as `blake2b(ephemeralPub ‖ recipientPub, 24)`, and produces `ephemeralPub ‖ box`. That is
// exactly what Go's `box.OpenAnonymous` opens: the wire format is unchanged from the hand-transcribed
// version this replaces — only the implementation is now a maintained, reviewed dependency rather
// than a copy of TweetNaCl and blakejs carried inline. The module runtime image bundles it
// (package.json dependencies; novox/hq ADR 0052).
//
// **How it is kept honest.** A cross-language test seals a fixture here and opens it in Go
// (mesh-controller internal/secrets/sealedbox_xcheck_test.go); the fixture is regenerated from this
// `seal()`. A drift between this seal and Go's box surfaces there as a seal Go cannot open, not as a
// refresh token silently mangled in production.
//
// This module SEALS only. It never opens — opening is the host's job, with the node private key the
// module is deliberately never given.
// A default import, not `{ seal }`: the library is a CommonJS UMD bundle, and Node's ESM loader
// cannot statically see its named exports — only its default, which is the whole module object.
