zeekay e4ec3006fd vm: Ringtail → Corona identifier rename (consensus/quasar + wallet/keychain)
The local Ringtail*-prefixed types in vm carried over from before the
luxfi/corona R-LWE rename became canonical. They are vm-internal (do
not wrap external Ringtail packages) but the name was misleading after
production-side R-LWE shifted to Corona.

Renames in consensus/quasar/{types,quasar,config,gpu_ntt,gpu_ntt_c,
doc,integration_test}.go and wallet/keychain/pq_keychain*.go:
  RingtailSignature       → CoronaSignature
  RingtailCoordinator     → CoronaCoordinator
  NewRingtailSignature    → NewCoronaSignature
  SignatureTypeRingtail   → SignatureTypeCorona
  QuasarSignature.ringtail field → corona
  NewQuasarSignature(bls, ringtail) param → corona

Build: go build ./consensus/quasar/ ./wallet/keychain/ PASS.
Test:
  vm/consensus/quasar    PASS 1.504s
  vm/wallet/keychain     PASS 1.277s

(vm has pre-existing protobuf submodule gaps in components/message
and connectproto/pb/xsvm unrelated to this rename.)

Package quasar provides hybrid quantum-safe consensus finality.
# Overview
Quasar is the gravitational center of Lux consensus, binding P-Chain
(BLS signatures) and Q-Chain (Corona post-quantum threshold) into
unified hybrid finality across all Lux networks.
# Architecture
All validators maintain both keypairs:
- BLS keypair: Aggregate signatures (classical, fast)
- Corona keypair: Threshold signatures (post-quantum, 2-round)
Both signature paths run in parallel:
Block arrives
|
+-- BLS PATH ----------+-- RINGTAIL PATH --------+
| All validators | Round 1: commitments |
| sign with BLS | Round 2: partials |
| Aggregate (96B) | Combine threshold sig |
+----------------------+-------------------------+
|
HYBRID PROOF
BLS + Corona combined
|
QUANTUM FINALITY
# Vote Flow
Validators cast votes (wire format: Chits) for proposed blocks. The
Quasar engine collects these votes and produces finality proofs when:
- 2/3+ validator weight signed via BLS
- t-of-n validators completed Corona threshold signing
# Signature Types
The package defines several signature types:
- SignatureTypeBLS: Classical BLS signatures
- SignatureTypeRingtail: Post-quantum threshold
- SignatureTypeQuasar: Hybrid combining both
- SignatureTypeMLDSA: ML-DSA fallback
# Components
Quasar: Main consensus hub coordinating both signature paths.
CoronaCoordinator: Manages the 2-round threshold signing protocol
for post-quantum security.
QuantumFinality: Represents a block that achieved hybrid finality with
both BLS and Corona proofs.
