zeekay c9bc60da0e LP-107 Phase 2: math substrate — params, backend, codec, modarith,
ntt, poly, rns, sample

Eight pure-Go reference packages that own the canonical semantics of
every cryptographic-math primitive Lux protocols share. Backends
(AVX2 / NEON / cgo+C++ / CUDA / Metal / WGSL) plug in behind the
substrate; KATs gate byte-equality across them.

Packages added:

* params/    — ModulusID, NTTParamID, FHEParamID, PulsarParamID,
               HashSuiteID, BackendID; KATHeader required-fields
               schema. Stable string IDs; renaming is a breaking
               change.

* backend/   — Policy enum (PureGo / NativeCPU / GPUPreferred /
               GPURequired); Resolve(policy, registered) returns the
               BackendID per LP-107's fallback chain. GPURequired
               returns ErrUnavailable when no GPU backend is
               registered.

* codec/     — Bounded readers (closes lattice issues #2 + #4 DoS
               class permanently). Limits + LimitError + Reader.
               ReadUint{16,32,64}Slice all reject the 70T-element
               attack input before allocating; depth + frame-bytes
               caps; iterative (no recursion). Regression test
               TestReadUint64Slice_RejectsHugeLength encodes the
               original lattice issue #4 input.

* modarith/  — Modulus type with QInv, R2, Barrett constants
               (computed via math/big once per modulus). AddMod /
               SubMod / MulMod (Div64 reference path). MontMulMod /
               ToMontgomery / FromMontgomery cross-checked against
               MulMod across 100 random Pulsar-Q pairs.
               ReductionMode enum byte-equal to lattice/types.

* ntt/       — Service + Backend interface; pure-Go backend
               delegates to lattice/v7/ring.SubRing.NTT/INTT (the
               canonical Lattigo-derived Montgomery NTT body — no
               re-implementation, just dispatch). Round-trip +
               batch + determinism tests on Pulsar N=256.

* poly/      — Add / Sub / ScalarMul / PointwiseMul (NTT-domain) /
               negacyclic Mul (NTT round-trip). Composes modarith +
               ntt; no lower-level reach.

* rns/       — Basis(Moduli, Name) for FHE RNS chains. Single +
               two-prime construction validated; rejects even moduli.
               Phase 3 will add basis-extension and modulus-switching.

* sample/    — Uniform (rejection sampling, mask-and-retry); Ternary
               (density + sign byte); CenteredBinomial (popcount
               difference); DiscreteGaussianRejection (6-sigma cutoff).
               All take an io.Reader so callers can KAT-replay.

Architecture invariants enforced in package docs:

  - Go is the canonical semantic reference.
  - Backend selection MUST NOT alter transcript bytes (consensus
    paths default to PolicyPureGo / PolicyNativeCPU).
  - No unbounded codec readers anywhere near wire formats.
  - No re-implementation: where lattice/v7/ring already owns the
    canonical body, we delegate, not fork.
  - One ID space; renaming is a breaking change.

Test posture: 8/8 packages green via `GOWORK=off go test ./...`.

Phases 3-7 (queued):
  3. lattice consumes math
  4. pulsar consumes lattice + math
  5. fhe consumes math
  6. luxcpp/crypto/math native backend mirror
  7. cross-runtime KAT release gate

Big Integer Operations

import "github.com/luxfi/math/big"

// Parse hex or decimal
val, _ := big.ParseBig256("0x1234")

// 256-bit unsigned operations
result := big.U256(someInt)

// Power operation
power := big.BigPow(2, 256)

Safe Arithmetic

import "github.com/luxfi/math/safe"

// Returns (result, overflow bool)
sum, overflow := safe.SafeAdd(a, b)
product, overflow := safe.SafeMul(x, y)

// Returns (result, error)
sum, err := safe.Add64(a, b)
