%% Activity envelope per design §3.1.
%%
%% Erlang maps (#{...}) are not supported by this port, so envelopes
%% are represented as property lists of {atom_key, value} pairs. This
%% port's binary syntax also can't carry string literals; values that
%% would naturally be binaries in real Erlang are kept as atoms or
%% integer-segment binaries in the test corpus.
%%
%% Required fields: id, type, actor, published, signature.
%% The signature value is itself a property list with key_id,
%% algorithm, value.
%%
%% validate_shape/1 returns ok | {error, Reason}. Reasons:
%% not_a_proplist
%% {missing_field, FieldName}
%% {bad_signature, BadSigReason}
%%
%% get_field/2 returns {ok, Value} | not_found.

%% canonical_bytes/1 — the byte string the signature covers.
%%
%% Real fed-sx will use dag-cbor over a JSON-LD-canonicalised form
%% (design §3.2). For milestone 1 we stand in for that with the host
%% BIF `cid:to_string/1`, which produces a CIDv1 over the deterministic
%% textual form of the term. Two prior steps make this work:
%% 1. The signature pair is stripped (sig covers everything except
%% itself).
%% 2. The top-level property list is sorted by key so field order in
%% the source envelope is not load-bearing.
%%
%% The result is an Erlang binary suitable as the sig-cover input.
