/**
* attest.ts — WebAuthn human-in-the-loop attestation for SZL governance receipts
*
* Registers a WebAuthn passkey (Touch ID / Windows Hello / FIDO2 hardware key)
* and uses it to sign DSSE receipt payloads with a human-present gesture.
*
* This creates a chain of custody proof that a human operator explicitly
* approved a sensitive governance action — not just an automated process.
*
* Architecture:
* 1. Registration: generate WebAuthn credential, store public key + credentialId
* 2. Attestation: for sensitive actions, produce a WebAuthn assertion over
* SHA-256(DSSE_payload) as the challenge
* 3. DSSE emission: wrap WebAuthn assertion in a DSSE signature entry
* alongside (not replacing) the existing HMAC/ECDSA signature
*
* Library: @simplewebauthn/server (Node.js RP server-side verification)
* @simplewebauthn/browser (browser-side credential creation)
* Ref: https://simplewebauthn.dev/docs/
*
* WebAuthn signing pattern (per Yubico guidance):
* - Replace the RP challenge with SHA-256(artifact_to_sign)
* - Store clientDataJSON + authenticatorData + signature for later verification
* - Verify: SHA-256(clientDataJSON) must contain the original hash
*
* Refs:
* - WebAuthn spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3/
* - Yubico signing: https://developers.yubico.com/WebAuthn/Concepts/Using_WebAuthn_for_Signing.html
* - SimpleWebAuthn: https://simplewebauthn.dev/docs/
* - FIDO2 CBOR: https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-ps-20190130/
