Motivation

• Replace the legacy layered/protocol-commons proof model with the canonical CLAS metadata.proof envelope and provide a single clear API surface for building, signing, and verifying CommandLayer receipts.
• Intentionally break pre-adoption compatibility to remove confusing legacy shapes and align the codebase to the canonical CLAS stack-contract proof envelope.

Description

• Introduces a canonical CLAS envelope implementation in src/compat.ts with new types CommandLayerReceipt / CommandLayerProof and exported helpers buildCanonicalProof, signCommandLayerReceipt, verifyCommandLayerReceipt, and isSignedCommandLayerReceipt that emit/validate metadata.proof.canonicalization, metadata.proof.hash.{alg,value} and metadata.proof.signature.{alg,value,kid}.
• Updates exports in src/index.ts to surface the new canonical APIs as the single source of truth and removes the confusing legacy compat exports surface.
• Removes legacy acceptance of signature_b64 / hash_sha256 as canonical proof fields and updates verification to require the explicit CLAS proof shape and field-level validation.
• Updates tests and README to assert the new canonical envelope exactly and to reject legacy/wrong proof shapes, tightens ENS options validation to require a provider in the options object, and updates the canonical SHA-256 audit vector constant to match the runtime-determined digest.

Testing

• Ran the full verification flow: npm install, npm run build, npm test, and npm run typecheck.
• Automated test suite: all tests passed (66 tests across suites, 0 failures) and the TypeScript typecheck succeeded.
• npm run build and npm run typecheck completed successfully.
