zeekay dd93cb41f7 papers: cover-consistency + build pass on Lux Tier-2/3 catalogue
Sweep across the non-Tier-1 paper catalogue (Tier-1 owned by parallel
agent and excluded). All 113 processed papers already had luxcover
wired up; this commit fixes 14 build breakers and produces fresh
PDFs across the catalogue.

Fixes:
- lux-blockchain-scaling-laws: em-dash inside lstlisting -> --
- lux-corona-pq: stale \input pointing at 03-the-corona-scheme renamed
  to 03-the-corona-scheme (file already renamed on disk)
- lux-lattice-cryptography-primer: same Corona->Corona rename
- lux-formal-verification-lean4: Lean source uses unicode (×, ∀, ∃, ∈,
  ∧, ∨, ∩, ≠, ⟨, ⟩, ·, ¬) inside lstlistings. Added a literate map
  so listings render the math glyphs without UTF-8 fault.
- lux-id-did-specification: ✓/✗ in tabular replaced with \ding{51}
  / \ding{55} (pifont). Added pifont package.
- lux-ntt-simd-implementation: middle-dot in Go assembly listings;
  added literate {·}{\textperiodcentered}.
- lux-ntt-transform: μ, ×, –, — in regular text (no T1 fontenc).
  Replaced with $\mu$/$\times$/--/--- via unicode->latex sweep.
- lux-perpetuals-derivatives, lux-quantum-consensus,
  lux-quasar-consensus, lux-tee-computing-mesh: same unicode->latex
  sweep across body text. Also fixed broken math segment
  `$L_{avg} = 10$\times$$` -> `$L_{avg} = 10\times$`.
- lux-zchain: emoji glyphs in roadmap table replaced with
  parenthetical text.
- lux-triple-proof-consensus: dropped duplicate \usepackage{geometry}
  that clashed with luxcover (geometry option clash).
- pq: defined missing \Rq macro.

PDFs rebuilt for the full Tier-2/3 set.

Excluded (Tier-1, parallel agent): lp-073-pulsar, lp-stricte2epq,
dag-evm-formal, lp-010-quasar-stm-{3,4}, lp-020-quasar-consensus,
lux-institutional-custody, lux-nist-mptc-submission, pqsafe-il5,
pq-rns, plus shared/ and lps/.

\begin{abstract}
We present a threshold cryptographic framework for blockchain validator networks in
which no individual validator holds a complete signing key. The framework employs
CGGMP21~\cite{canetti2021uc} for ECDSA threshold signing (secp256k1 compatible),
FROST~\cite{komlo2020frost} for EdDSA and BLS threshold signing, and a distributed
key generation (DKG) protocol that creates key shares without a trusted dealer. We
address the practical gap between threshold signature theory and production validator
infrastructure: key resharing for validator set changes without exposing the master
key, recovery from corrupted shares without key reconstruction, and slashing-compatible
fault attribution. We prove that a compromised validator in a $(t, n)$ threshold
configuration reveals zero information about the master key, provide concrete benchmarks
for MPC signing latency as a function of threshold size (4.2\,ms for $t=3$ of $n=5$,
18.7\,ms for $t=7$ of $n=10$), and describe the integration with the Lux consensus
engine for MPC-based block signing.
\textbf{Keywords}: threshold signatures, MPC, CGGMP21, FROST, DKG, validator security,
blockchain consensus
