zeekayandHanzo Dev b463e0f236 Native-ZAP struct-is-wire for the four straggler VMs (aivm/keyvm/quantumvm/dexvm)
Completes the "one and only one way" wire migration: every VM in this repo now
serializes blocks and txs through luxfi/zap struct-is-wire at fixed field
offsets — no encoding/json, no hand-rolled big-endian, no cursor codec.

- aivm: Block + AIVertex + nested CIntent native-encoded. Fixes a latent
  data-loss bug — AIVertex had unexported fields, so encoding/json silently
  marshalled it as {}; the native encoder round-trips every field.
- keyvm: Transaction (signing preimage = SigningBytes(), excludes Auth/Sig;
  full wire = signing || sig object, so the signed bytes stay a genuine prefix
  and authenticate() re-derives a byte-identical preimage) + Block.
- quantumvm: Block + BaseTransaction. Block wire is the quantum-signature
  preimage (deterministic fixed offsets, ordered tx list).
- dexvm: block envelope (txs were already ZAP). Preserves UnixNano timestamps,
  deterministic tx order, and content-addressed carried fills.

Hardening from the adversarial crypto review (must-holds all verified: no
keyvm signature malleability/replay, no aivm CIntent id-forgery/escrow tamper,
no dexvm ordering/fill tamper, all parsers fail closed):

- keyvm (M1): make the wire strictly canonical. zap follows the root offset
  and ignores unreferenced padding inside a message's declared size, so a twin
  buffer could decode to identical fields with a different hash (id-malleability).
  ParseTransaction now binds the id to the re-serialized (canonical) form and
  rejects any non-canonical input at the door — exactly one byte-string
  authenticates per logical tx. Regression test: the padded twin is rejected.
- quantumvm (M2): derive block + tx ids as sha256(Bytes()), matching the other
  three VMs. The prior ids.ToID(parent||height) over 40 bytes (and ids.ToID over
  the >=32-byte tx wire) silently yielded ids.Empty for every block/tx,
  collapsing the block store and tx pool to a single slot. The block id is no
  longer stored in the wire, so the invariant id == sha256(Bytes()) holds
  unconditionally. Regression tests: ids are non-Empty and collision-distinct.

Not in scope (tracked separately, fail-closed today): aivm RewardPerOperator is
escrowed but not bound by ComputeIntentID — a pre-existing design gap that needs
a coordinated A-side + C-side intent-id preimage bump before any non-fail-closed
CCommitVerifier ships.

Builds + tests green under the canonical CGO=0 -mod=readonly recipe; go.mod/go.sum
are the go mod tidy canonical set (indirect deps resolved forward, all within
major). Cryptographer verdict: SAFE TO PUBLISH.
